The World of Street Food

Kaprao, or Holy Basil Stir Fry (crispy pork and "Thai wagyu") by Kapaotair, Bangkok, Thailand (MRT Ladphrao) Kaprao, or Thai holy basil stir fry , is probably my favorite go-to Thai dish. While pad Thai , cashew chicken, or green curry might be more popular at Thai restaurants abroad, when it comes to what people actually eat in Thailand , kaprao definitely seems to be a favorite. You can find kaprao at pretty much any local "made-to-order" restaurant in Thailand, and especially in Bangkok (where the dish is especially popular), but it's always fun when I come across a restaurant specifically dedicated to this spicy, flavorful dish. I was excited to discover Kapaotair, a new restaurant which recently appeared inside the MRT Ladphrao Station's Gourmet Market supermarket, and which serves exclusively plates of delicious basil stir fry.
