Basil King has viral basil pork rice with quadruple eggs

Those familiar with the American food vlogger Mark Wiens may notice a striking resemblance between his Thai pad krapow (basil pork rice) brand, Phed Mark, and local stall Basil King. From its fireball mascot to its brand aesthetic, the similarities are uncanny. Of course, the menu also bears a close resemblance, with pad krapow the star of the show here.

Like Phed Mark’s version, Basil King lets you load the dish with up to four sunny-side-up eggs, all fused into one Frankenstein monster. These elements have helped Basil King become a viral sensation of sorts, and now the brand has numerous outlets across Singapore, including the one we visited in Ang Mo Kio.
