GIN KHAO SIGNATURE WATERMELON FRIED RICE – FIRST AND ONLY IN SINGAPORE!

There is a story behind every dish and the same could be said of Gin Khao’s iconic Watermelon Fried Rice. Gin Khao’s Managment team was on their recipes/inspiration gathering trip in Thailand where they chanced upon a secluded eatery selling this uncommon dish. This rare discovery excited them and they immediately thought hard and experimented with different culinary methods to make this dish saleable in Singapore context. The original Thai version is drier and do not use much of the wok, so one could not really call it fried rice. Our own spin to this Thai cuisine is tailored to suit the local palates, one could taste the “wok hei” and we added our own concocted secret sauce to make it all the more appetite whetting.

If you are Chinese, all the more you should try out our watermelon fried rice, not just because we are the first and only restaurant in Singapore to serve this dish, but rather, even Empresses found it hard to resist this particular delicacy – 西瓜炒饭 (美人炒饭)： 连西施都赞顶呱呱的炒饭!

"The wide array of street food in Thailand can be mind-boggling - from creamy coconut to tropical fruit desserts and fried noodles; but those who choose to indulge are abundantly rewarded"

"Pad Thai was made popular in Thailand during World War II. Pad Thai has since become one of Thailand's national dishes. Today, some food vendors add pork-chops to enhance the taste (although the original recipe did not contain pork because the government perceive pork as a Chinese meat)."

"A spiced salad may replace the curry dish. The soup can also be spicy, but the curry should be replaced by a non-spiced item. There must be harmony of tastes and textures within individual dishes and the entire meal."

"Thai food was traditionally eaten with the right hand while seated on mats or carpets on the floor. Today, however, most Thais eat with a fork and spoon."
