While Basil King has been actively expanding its footprint after the establishment of their very first outlet in Singapore, it does seem that there is yet another establishment that is entering the same space as them within the F&B scene here. Located within the Kopi Breweries coffeeshop at Blk 61 of Shun Li Industrial Park, one would be able to find A Chai Thai Food — Basil Queen 07 occupying a stall unit that is situated in the middle of the row of stalls within the coffeeshop. Just like Basil King, A Chai Thai Food — Basil Queen 07 centres its menu around its Thai-style stir-fried basil dishes; all of which featuring meat / seafood, with patrons having the choice to opt for Single, Double, Triple or Quadruple Egg options which is itself inspired by that of Phed Mark in Bangkok, Thailand. Apart from such offerings, A Chai Thai Food — Basil Queen 07 also serves up scrambled egg rice and also ala-carte Moo Ping as well.

We went for the Double Egg rendition for the Basil Pork which comes with a sunny side up featuring two (2) egg yolks — much to the like of how the same dish is being presented at Basil King or even at Phed Mark in Thailand. The Basil Pork Double Egg does feature all of the usual suspects that one would find in a Thai-style stir-fried basil minced pork — think French beans, chili padi, basil, minced pork; all that served with white rice on the side; patrons can opt for their desired level spiciness out of five levels which we went for Level 2 (Normal Spicy). Felt that the Basil Pork was executed in a way that we liked it — the version here does come a little saucier where one will be able to have a little bit of sauce to go with the rice. The minced pork here does come with a mix of fattier and lean parts that provides a bit of bite though was also easy to chew through; all that whilst having absorbed the savoury notes of the sauce and came without any undesirable porky stench. The notes of basil does come through to flavour up the dish, while we found Level 2 to be adequately spicy for those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness; the addition of French beans also gave the dish and element of crunch amidst the minced pork. The fried egg does feature molten egg yolks that are runny, though the base of the egg white does come a little thick and stiff — perhaps intentionally done so to achieve some ease in picking it up whilst plating the dish.
