Khao Man Gai


"Kao Man Gai" is the Thai phrase you use when you want to order "Thai Steamed Chicken with Rice". This dish is very popular among Thais and you can easily find it at food courts and street vendors.

In Bangkok, the most famous shop is on Pechaburi road and is simply known as the "Pink Shirt Ladies Shop".

This dish usually includes the following:
- steamed chicken (you can often choose the cut of the chicken -- leg, breast, or thigh
- a piece of chicken liver (also steamed)
- some veggie (usually spinach)
- soup (chicken of course!) ^_^

The shop keepers will also dish out some yummy chicken sause and pour that all over the rice and chicken. The taste? Holy cow! It's delicious. To me, it's the perfect meal: carbs, iron, and protein.

I bought this one at the food court and it costs 40 baht (=$1.20). Great deal. If you visit the Kingdom on holiday, please try this dish!
