Massaman Curry

[ChiangMai2012]

Wife loves Massaman curry, but we've been disappointed with the few places around are apartment that have it.

Any recommendations for some great Massaman in Chiang Mai?

Thanks.

When I had taste-buds that worked, I used to most enjoy the curry at that veritable antique of a restaurant right across from Thapae Gate: Aroon Rai.

We had an amazing masaman at the Bear Bar. It's a music bar but they also do food and the cook is great.

I just had a look at the menu on their web site and masman wasn't there. I think they showed us a specials menu so maybe they only have it sometimes. It was delicious, as was the other things we ordered, so it would be worth a try anyway.

For a nice chicken Massaman try the restaurant over the road from the tourist police office. It's in the same road as good view restaurant but right at the very end if you were heading towards MaeJo (charoenpratet rd ? ... I'm hopeless with street names). this place is excellent value, but only open for b/fast & lunch.

Hinley does a good Beef Massaman.

Try the muslim place nearly opposite the entrance to Chiang Mai Land along Changklan Road. It's very popular with locals. In fact, there's a photo of Thaksin (few years old) eating there. The biriyani is also good. Alternatively, soi 1 Changklan Road has lots of muslim places selling authentic masaman.

Try the big restaurant next door to the Centre Point Condo. If you're coming from town heading towards Mae Jo, turn left at the Ruam Choke/Rimping intersection. Centre Point is on the right about 100m before you get to the bridge. You'll need to do a uturn, and the restaurant is before the condo, right next door to it. They had signs rating it as top 10 from some tv channel. It's really good, more of a dense coconut cream than the standard soupy version. Worth the trip.

I haven't been up to CM for a few years but when I did go I always used Aroon Rai,never had a bad meal,I can't speak from recent experience but it was always well run and very accommodating.

Nimman Kitchen off Huay Kaew Rd does an excellent version.

It might help if the OP let us know where he lives and how far he wants to travel.

I live near the train station, but willing to travel anywhere in town.
