Fish maw soup with crab
Kapropla, or ‘fish maw’ is a popular breakfast dish across Thailand that is usually eaten with shredded chicken and quail eggs.
Krapropla Cathay takes the hearty soup a step further by adding crab meat and abalone in their fish maw recipe. The added seafood ingredients make the restaurant’s broth a distinguished and coveted dish that they are often sold out by 11AM every morning.
What to order at Krapropla Cathay

- ฿40 (~USD1.33) chicken wing/tenderloin/drumstick and quail eggs
- ฿50 (~USD1.67) chicken wing/tenderloin/drumstick, quail eggs, and abalone

- ฿80 (~USD2.67) This is the larger version of the ฿70 (~USD2.33) order. chicken wing/tenderloin/drumstick, quail eggs, chicken guts, crab meat and abalone
We ordered the special Krapropla with ฿70 (~USD2.33) and and Krapropla ฿60 (~USD2.00) without the abalone and innards.
From the first bite of the crab meat and fish maw, visitors are given an explosion of flavours and texture: the gooey & velvety texture of seafood that has been simmered in a thick malty and hearty broth is truly the perfect start to the day.
It was not a surprise that their fish maw would sell out before 11AM, because of its freshness, convenience and rich texture; additionally, the soup is affordable.
