Those well acquainted with Bangkok’s vibrant food scene might have heard about Hereduan, the TikTok-viral eatery known for serving runny eggs over rice with Thai toppings like basil chicken or pork jowl. Now, you can enjoy the same glistening plates of egg rice at Running Egg, a new stall which just opened at an unassuming coffee shop in Ang Mo Kio.
Running Egg is the first stall in Singapore to offer this famous Thai street food. To ensure that things are up to standard with Bangkok’s Hereduan, two chefs from the original outlet were flown down to recreate the original recipes. All the ingredients – from the egg and rice down to the condiments – are also imported directly from Thailand for consistency.
Not to be confused with omelette rice or scrambled eggs over rice, Running Egg does a version of egg rice that is a tad more watery and just slightly under-scrambled. This is so that the runny egg can seep into the fluffy bed of rice underneath, adding a more luscious and creamy texture to each mouthful, plus a richer and eggier flavour overall.
Since the stall operates out of a coffee shop in the heartlands, you can expect wallet-friendly prices starting from $5.80, which are even more affordable than Hereduan’s in Bangkok – that’s another cheap eats option to add to your list. On the menu, you’ll find a straightforward selection of five egg rice dishes: prawn ($7.80), chicken basil ($6.80), pork jowl ($7.80), grilled pork (moo ping) ($7.80), and a Singapore-exclusive luncheon meat rice ($5.80).
