I am happy you found an evening place, but please dont be saying wrong. Here is a food review of kau man gai and khao soi up in Chiang Rain and Chiang Mai. And since khao man gai is typically a breakfast meal and khao soi is usually eaten at lunch, we suggest just sticking around all morning so you can eat both meals here and judge for yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes when travelling I eat street food in street stalls all the time. Not so much in BKK anymore as we do most of the cooking at home, and pack lunches when going to work.

JackSinclair Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 One of my favourites would have to be Khaow Pat Gai. (fried rice & chicken) It helps cure a hangover as well as being filling first thing in the morning.???? Watching it being cooked in a wok at a super-high-temp gives me that hygiene confidence. Also being a great fan of Thai chillies I cover the dish with the ubiquitous Prik Nam Pla. (chopped chillis in fish sauce) The spicy flavour on my tongue has a great reaction with hot black coffee. IMHO the best Pattaya street eats are next to where the night-life girls sleep.... you can enjoy eye candy for desert. ps this foodie thread post is not sponsored. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess old hands like you can really put young newbies like me in our place. ???? Do me one favor though, walk through any Thai town before 9am and see what is being served. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojo Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 In my experience, specialist Cow man gai restaurants across the kingdom are open fairly early morning and sell out around 3pm, with lunchtime being by far their busiest time....................I'm sure there are some exceptions of course..................................regarding Chiang Mai, sorry, I'm not familiar with Pattaya, (I know, I know, just couldn't help myself!) but the side street next to 3 Kings monument is where the best specialist cow man gai restaurants are located IMO............................................................ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the chicken is gone they go home. Now Kau Mok the yellow rice is served later in the day as well.. KAO MAN GAI has never been a morning dish, it's an afternoon / evening dish. Most places open only in afternoon and close when chicken is finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khao man gai is terrible at any mall, they all reuse the past day chicken... especially bigC. If chicken is not hung before you, do not eat ! There is clearly a large gap in what we consider to be good Khao Man Gai. The best chicken comes from when the chicken is cooked in front of you. More tender and juicy. For this reason I used to eat it regularly at a stall opposite the Pattaya Tai market. She would boil the chicken on the spot. So even precooked hung chicken can be unacceptably dry. But each to their own. Then the sauce provided can vary. It's not just about the rice and it isn't just about the chicken. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should street food be crud? It should not be unusual to discuss what makes a particular preparation better than another. Have you ever visited a Michelin starred restaurant or even cooked for yourself? ???? What was great about the kebab? ???? Good that you are happy. Why not leave others to be happy too?

Street food is a lot healthier Mu Kata that is for sure. We mostly eat street food when travelling and I let the wife pick the joint. As I said we avoid Isaan food other than the barbecue. We were just in Trat, Chantaburi and Koh Kut. Great Hoy Jah, Kau Phat Pu, and various types of Kway Teow. Its always great. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
