Moo Station SG :: ข้าวต้มแห้ง

Hopped out for a 7.15pm dinner to check out Moo Station SG — they close at 8pm. Located in a kopitiam at Crawford Lane, we thought that stopping by at dinner is a better choice since it's much quieter without the lunch crowds. We turned out to be right on all counts. The kopitiam was practically empty. Only the point-point rice stall and the prata stall were open. And the drinks stall too. A few stereotypical 'kopitiam Uncles' hung around drinking beer and stout. 

Moo Station SG sells Phuket style 'dry rice porridge' ('khao tom haeng', ข้าวต้มแห้ง); the only meat is pork. We didn't bother with the combo set. I didn't want the crispy pig skin / crackling. Eiooowww. The man took a large bowl and added an onsen egg, and I took a small. The large did come with a bigger portion of rice. But the main difference between the bowl sizes is the offal — the large bowl holds extras of kidney and intestines. I don't eat those. Mine only held stomach. Perfect. Along with the spare ribs, I tossed the one piece of liver over to the man. I didn't mind the meatballs. 

The rice was rather delicious. It was cooked in a pork stock. It was chockfull of garlic, pork bones, and definitely fats/lard. The accompanying bowl of soup was flavorful and leans salty. I suppose you could pour it into the rice like 'chazuke' if you really want. 

Ordered a plate of crispy pork belly to share too. The homemade Thai chilli sauce was fabulous. Piquant, sweet and spicy, it was paired best with crispy pork. This was by no means a light meal. It's quite oily, so go easy. The man sorted that out by stuffing his face with a bottle of 'light' beer. Okaaaaaay.

My size S bowl — without kidney and intestines.
