This is no ordinary chicken, but this is turmeric and garlic marinated grilled chicken! It’s so overwhelmingly flavorful that it’s simply impossible to not lick your fingers clean. Never use a [...]

Lemongrass Fried Chicken Ordered from a leisure lakeside restaurant near Khon Kaen, this was not a plate of Colonel-style juicy chicken thighs with crispy deep fried skin. Instead it was more along the lines of golden nuggets that were crunchy through and through – deep fried into chicken potato chips. The addition of fried lemongrass and [...]

There’s no dish in Thailand that I’d rather eat when it’s cold and rainy outside than a bowl of mother’s Kuay Teow Gai - Thai chicken noodles (motherly food tastes the best).

Authentic Iranian Food Restaurant in Bangkok

7 June 2011 by Mark Wiens
