Pure Thai Cookhouse

Pork Knuckle Rice from Pure Thai Cookhouse in Midtown Manhattan! A Pleasant Surprise 🌟 🎢 I’ve been to Pure Thai Cookhouse in Midtown several times, but I always ordered their noodles. Today, I was in the mood for rice, so I picked the “Today’s Special,” which was Khao Kha Moo. I chose it just because it had rice, but when the dish arrived, I was thrilled to see it was pork knuckle rice! 🍖 🍃 The dish came with greens, pickles, and a perfectly boiled egg. The rice was so flavorful, with tender, juicy pork that practically melted in my mouth. The rich, savory sauce was the star of the show. After just two bites, I couldn’t resist adding another bowl of plain rice to mix with the sauce. It was like I was in carb heaven! 🍔 🌊 Compared to the pork knuckle rice I’ve had in Chinatown, this version was way better. The meat was softer, the sauce was more abundant, and the broth was richer. It was a carb lover’s dream come true! The price was $24, and the owner said it would be on the menu for 2-3 more weeks. 💰 PS: As a Shandong native, I’ve never had the most authentic version of this dish. I usually just watch food videos on Bilibili. If this doesn’t match your taste, please don’t criticize—just enjoy your own favorite version! 😄 🌸 #ABowlofPorkKnuckleRicefortheCarbLover’sDream 🍔✨
