ข้าวกระเพราไก่ไข่ดาว

The photo shows a tray of lunch that I bought at a supermarket in Pattaya, Thailand. The food is named ข้าวกระเพราไก่ไข่ดาว (Pronunciation: Khao Krapow Gai Kai Dao) and is a very popular food among locals as well as tourists. It's often translated as Stir-fried chicken with Thai basil leaves, served with Thai steamed rice and an over-hard egg. You can take out this food from a street stall, also you can have this food at a restaurant. Don't worry, it's ubiquitous, you can't miss it. Breakdown; ข้าว (Pronunciation: Khao) means rice, กระเพรา (Pronunciation: Krapow) means basil, ไก่ (Pronunciation: Gai) means chicken, ไข่ดาว (Pronunciation: Khai Dao) means over-hard egg.
