Khao mok gai in Pattaya

Featured Replies

We've tried the food court upstairs at Tesco, and it's not bad, but: Any suggestions for really good khao mok gai (or chicken biryani) in the area? Thanks!

The most popular one, is on the corner of Pattaya Tai and Soi BuaKhao.

Opens around 5pm daily.

Yeah, but a tip there, they don't expect foreigners to know the name of that dish. Ordered it once by name and got Khao man gai instead. Better to say YELLOW. Or point of course.

As you are the food expert maybe you should be able to ask your dishes in Thai language...

They understand very well !

Did you read my post? I did and they got it wrong. They're not programmed to EXPECT white people to know what to say in Thai but I think they do know that more white people know the name of Khao MAN gai than Khao MOK Gai because DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the Man Gai one is massively more COMMON. But I think you did read that but are just having fun to throw an insult. Cheers and happy eating. Seriously, it's better there to say yellow or point. Take the tip or don't ... up2u.

I once ordered Kao Mok Gai, the lady was asking/saying Kao Mok? I did understand Kao mot ( No rice ), i said "mai ben rai", went to the next food stall and ordered something else. While eating, the lady came with a plate of Kao Mok Gai to my table... we all had a good laugh about the misunderstanding.

The OP refers to Khao Mok Kai as 'Chicken Biryani' which is an Indian dish. I don't think there is any similarity between them.

They are quite similar. 

 

What is the name of the Thai biryani?
 
 
Thai biryani, called khao mok (literally meaning 'buried rice') is known for its bright yellow color, a result of the use of turmeric, and is typically served with chicken that has been cooked in the rice, along with sides of sliced cucumbers and a sweet and sour sauce.

Any updates on this?

Did you seriously dig up a 10 year old thread on getting the best chicken & rice meal 😆 

 

The old thread only recommended one place anyway, so maybe try that one?
