Butterworth Bites🥢

At Siam 9 in Butterworth, their Pad Krapao Gai (Thai basil chicken) is a standout that shows off what good Thai comfort food should be. The minced chicken is stir-fried with lots of garlic, bursts of chilies, and plenty of holy basil, giving it that bold, mouth-tingling fragrance. It’s served over fragrant jasmine rice, topped with a perfectly done fried egg whose runny yolk adds richness. The spice level is lively but manageable, so you still taste the sweetness from the basil and the savoury notes from the sauce. It’s simple, satisfying, and hits all the right flavour notes.
