There's not much more comforting than a plate of Thai style Hainanese Chicken Rice in Thailand known as Khao Man Gai (ข้าวมันไก่ also spelled Kao Man Gai or Khao Mun Gai).

Today I hit the streets of Bangkok's bustling Pratunam district to go to a restaurant that's serves Thai Hainanese Chicken Rice so fast, they don't even have time to hang the chickens like normal restaurant that serve Khao Man Gai (ข้าวมันไก่) do!

Hainanese Chicken Rice ข้าวมันไก่ is a simple dish. The chicken is boiled in water, chopped up into bite sized pieces and served over a plate of rice that has been cooked with the chicken broth and fat to make it extra fragrant and flavorful.

Khao Man Gai (ข้าวมันไก่) is served along with a bowl of chicken soup and a sauce that can be the real make or break factor of the dish. The sauce should be sour, spicy, and maybe a little sweet to go well over the chicken rice.

Now I'm not saying that Khao Man Gai (ข้าวมันไก่) is a bad Thai dish, I'm just saying that's it's not the most flavorful Bangkok street food dish out there - but it's very comforting and soothing on the stomach.

During this video I went to a restaurant known as Kaiton Pratunam (Ko-Ang) ไก่ตอนประตูนำ้ (โกอ่าง) in the busy central shopping district of Bangkok, Thailand known as Pratunam.

This Thai restaurant no only specializes in Chicken Rice (ข้าวมันไก่), but also in Khao Moo Op (ข้าวหมูอบ) which is rice with baked pork and delicious chicken soup (น้ำซุบ).

Here's the address and information you need to visit this same Bangkok restaurant:
