| - Important update! Son in law eggs are back at Hawker Bar! These have long been an obsession of mine so I was heartbroken when they were taken off the menu at the beginning of the summer. But they're back!
For the uninitiated, these are small soft boiled eggs, deep fried, then paired with chili jam, prik nam pla (a type of chili fish sauce), and topped Thai basil and cilantro* springs.
For those who have already experienced these little gems, there is one slight variation. The eggs are now presented sliced in half for easier consumption. So, you get four halves with your order instead of two full eggs. I kind of miss the explosion of yolk when you pop one in your mouth whole. But, one of my dining companions insists the new version allows you to appreciate the flavours of all the other elements in the dish.
For the record, the stellar service and sound track I've found at Hawker over the years remain the same.
*For those cilantro haters out there, of which I am one, don't worry. This sprig is easily removed if you want. I usually just take if off myself when it arrives at the table.
