    • A good chicken rice restaurant using the same recipe as the famous Mongkol Wattana Chicken Rice (Khao Man Gai Mongkol Wattana). • The taste is delicious and authentic Thai-style chicken rice. The service is also good, from both the waitresses and the owners. Stewed pork leg with five-spice gravy (Khao Kha Moo) is also available.

    Very good khao man kai. Juicy meat without any cartilage or other unpleasant bits still attached. Flavorful rice that isn't too oily. And a good broth. Good dipping sauce, but I've had ones that I preferred more. Seeing how they were handled, avoided the fresh veggies. Come early as they sell out quickly.

    My favorite for Braised Pork in Thailand. This shop is not a main road but worth it when you find it. Great portions and friendly services. Although limited English, they try their best to serve all foreigners who come.
