Eggs over rice dishes have gained popularity in the past year, with establishments like Danlao and Running Egg leading the trend. Joining the scene is Ryotai, a hawker stall located in Guan Guan Kopitiam, just a 15-minute walk from Paya Lebar MRT Station. Originally from Malaysia, Ryotai is best known for its green curry omurice, a fusion of Japanese omurice and Thai green curry. This unique dish combines the comforting elements of both cuisines, offering a fresh take on a beloved classic.
Ryotai’s version of omurice replaces the traditional Japanese brown curry with a rich and flavorful Thai green curry while maintaining the signature soft egg blanket. The eggs are expertly twisted into a tornado-like shape and served atop a bed of rice, a technique that requires skill and precision. The result is a visually appealing and deliciously layered dish that showcases the stall’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Situated within Guan Guan Kopitiam, Ryotai operates in a bustling yet comfortable setting. While the hawker centre is a fair distance from the nearest train station and can get crowded during lunch hours due to its industrial and residential surroundings, it remains a clean and well-ventilated dining space. With its innovative approach to omurice, Ryotai offers an exciting new option for those looking to explore creative hawker fare.
