Looking for the Best Kapraw in Koh Lanta?
If you ask Thai people what they eat when they want something quick, spicy and satisfying, many will say kapraw. It is a simple plate of stir-fried chicken, fresh holy basil, garlic and chilli over steamed rice. It is also one of the best ways to taste real Thailand. On Koh Lanta, Kapraw Cuisine Koh Lanta cooks this classic dish fresh to order in a peaceful garden setting in the middle of the island.
What Is Kapraw?
Kapraw (also spelled kaprao, krapow or pad kra pao) means “stir-fried holy basil.” The dish is cooked in a very hot wok, so the chicken sears quickly and the garlic, chilli and basil release their aroma at once. The sauce is savoury and slightly sweet, and the basil gives a peppery, clove-like fragrance that is different from the sweet basil used in many Western dishes.
It is served over steamed rice, and many people like a fried egg on top. Mixing the runny yolk into the rice and basil sauce is part of the experience.
