Cooked Chicken Breasts?

[LordPoona]

dont have access to kitchen and was wondering if any of the local supermarkets sell cooked chicken breasts?

thx

[steve187]

Carrefour do all sorts of cooked western food.

[gotlost]

Try a Five Star Chicken stall. Half the price of Carrefour

[rak sa_ngop]

Foodland, and probably every supermarket that has a deli counter, do a chicken 'roll' that can be sliced like a ham.I think it is 100 pc cooked breast chicken. However compared with the price of raw chicken breast meat it is relatively expensive.

How do you want it cooked?

Lots of Gai Yang (grilled chicken) stalls around.

[jfchandler]

Villa Markets stock both cooked heat-to-serve chicken and turkey breasts in their refrigerated deli section, including the packaged thin sliced varieties.

Most if not all of the western oriented supermarkets also sell whole roasted chickens already cooked, and sometimes cut pieces of same packed in packages for eating the same day. No cooking or heating required.

"gai yang" is grilled chicken....

"nom" is breast, usually in the woman's sense...

But I'm not sure how it's said in Thai when referring to a chicken...

I'm usually talking about the other kind...

Oke Gai Yang.

Nom Gai Yang would be milk from a grilled chicken

[jfchandler]

I only know "nom yai"...

I was always bad in my Thai studies...except for the fun stuff...

Gotta try that grilled chicken milk one of these days...

Thanks OT... Waiting for your return from far away....

[LordPoona]

forget gai lets talk nom !

j/k ...thanks guys..

ima try Oke Gai Yang...if i get a strange look ill grab my nom and make an eating motion ..lets see how that plays out...

[jfchandler]

Just for anyone out there who knows less Thai language than I do... and there may be a few somewhere....

"Nom" in Thai literally means milk, but it's also the word Thais use to refer to female breasts....

That's how "nom" got into the chicken breasts discussion... :jap:

Sorry to adjust

however

"Oke" as in "OK" is not quite right.

try "Og Gai" as in the last two letters of the the word "fog" for a closer romanisation.

or print this on a piece of paper and hand it to the deli staff"

อกไก่ย่าง

(sorry for printing Thai in other than Thai language section)

[jfchandler]

Since you're a "global mod," I suppose you MIGHT be forgiven... just this once...

[onethailand]

The problem is that English speakers read Og as... Oggggggggggg. Definitely not the correct pronunciation. Oke (as in yoke) would've been more than acceptable from a non-Thai speaker.

Or just go to your local Thai market and buy some Gai Dtom - chicken boiled in nam plah. Lovely, cheap, and ready to eat.

[tutsiwarrior]

at our local tescos we get whole roasted chickens but if ye go down the market there is a guy with a cart that sells the same fer cheaper...the cart guy is part of a large roast chicken outfit and carries a logo that is recognizable...

ye gotta go early as they are usually sold out by 6pm...tutsi comes home from work and it's 'oh, roast chicken, Leo beer and vodka' time in de household...
