In my Lonely Planet guide book(pg 311 13th edition) it refers to a cafe called Kuaytiaw Kai Tun Coke which serves a chicken marinaded in Coke and spices overnight. It was supposed to be situated opposite the main entrance to the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel. I couldn't find it. Any one know of its whereabouts? Supposed to be delicious.

Let me get this in there before Dave2 posts a picture:

It's a tiny place, and I don't know if it's still in operation.

But as a bonus, here is the recipe: http://www.bloggang....roup=8&gblog=45

Another famous place for stewed chicken is on Arak Road (the inside moat, going South), just before you get to the South-West corner. (Jaeng Kuruang, where Suan Buak Hat park is. )

Why do they make a big deal about adding soda to stews? Coca Cola, Sprite etc add basically 2 things to a meat stew which we might add in our kitchen at home:

- sodium bicarbonate which softens the meat (useful when you're using cheaper cuts)

- sugar (or sweetener as is more often the case with these drinks)

Perhaps it's not commonly done in Thailand. In the Philippines, it's virtually a must-do for braised meat dishes.

Beer is also used in many dishes.

Mrs Ricardo used to do a nice version of pork-in-Coca-Cola, although I must admit, I have a preference for thicker curries & stews, that's where the old rice-cooker or slow-cooker comes in handy !
