A day when I was dominated by Boston pig's trotters!

🍖 Yaowarat Thai Street Food: Quincy’s Pork Leg Rice That’s Worth the Hype Boston’s Thai food scene never disappoints—and this Quincy spot just raised the bar. After being wowed by Sen Yan Thai’s pork leg rice, I thought I’d seen the best… until Yaowarat’s version left me craving more. Let’s just say: after this meal, I felt like Boston’s own (a.k.a. unstoppable). 🌟 The Star of the Show: Khao Kha Moo (Pork Leg Rice) Large Size, Double the Joy: 🐷 Skip the small (it’s just a pork-topped rice bowl, similar to Sen Yan’s). Go big for the pork knuckle + pork shank combo—tender meat for carnivores, collagen-rich skin and tendons for texture lovers. The braising sauce is a masterpiece: rich, savory, and slightly sweet, with chunks of intestine (yes, intestine!) simmered to soft, unctuous perfection. Douse your rice in that sauce—you’ll want to lick the bowl. 😊 More Hits Pork Offal Soup: 🥣 A love letter to organ meat fans. Fresh, clean broth loaded with pig’s blood, liver, and intestine—just like my go-to at Laughing Monk Cafe. It’s bright, umami-packed, and only minor complaint: a little too much chicken (I wanted more offal). Still, slurp-worthy. Pad Thai: 🍜 Ordered by the same person who’d get steak at a fancy French restaurant (no judgment). But wow—this is authentic. No Americanized heaviness: just chewy rice noodles, tons of crushed peanuts, a squeeze of lime, and that classic sweet-savory balance. Simple, satisfying, and way better than most. ✨ Why It Works Street Food Vibes: It tastes like a Bangkok market stall—bold, unapologetic, and focused on flavor. No fads, just tried-and-true Thai comfort. Variety: The menu’s a greatest-hits list: boat noodles, Hainanese chicken rice, larb, taro sticky rice… I’m already planning my next visit to tackle more. Budget Score: 4/5. ~$30+ per person, and worth every cent for the portions and authenticity. Yaowarat isn’t just good—it’s a reminder why Boston’s Thai food scene shines. That pork leg rice? It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to shout from the rooftops. 📍 Yaowarat Thai Street Food 6 Beale St, Quincy, MA 02170 #BostonThai #PorkLegRice #QuincyEats
