Khao gaeng is a Thai term that means rice and curry. Normally the dishes are prepared and waiting to be ordered as soon as you arrive at the restaurant. It’s an everyday food in Thailand and you’ll find khao gaeng stalls throughout the country and all over Bangkok. But there’s one restaurant known as Krua OV (ครัว OV) that’s located within the lush Dusit government district of Bangkok, and they serve not only curries, but a selection of amazing royal Thai food as well. The chefs of the restaurant have long routes of royal cooking in the royal courts of Thailand. That being said, I can tell you for sure, you’re in good hands when you eat at Krua OV (ครัว OV).
As many Thai food connoisseurs say, Khao Chae (ข้าวแช่) is one of the best and most important examples of royal Thai food cooking – and they happen to be very famous throughout Bangkok for it. So that’s exactly what I started out with, not wanting to miss it. The platter came neatly decorated with a full plate of mixed goodies included fried pork, sweet pork, and a chili stuffed with pork and deep fried in an egg net. Along with the deep fried selection of fragrant tidbits, Khao Chae (ข้าวแช่) would not be complete without the essential jasmine rice in a pool of ice water. Yes, it’s a bizarre combination, but after you try them ingredients and jasmine rice water together, you’ll realize just how refreshing it is. When it comes to royal Thai food cuisine, you should try Khao Chae (ข้าวแช่).
Along with Khao Chae (ข้าวแช่) we ordered Gaeng Garee Gai (แกงกะหรี่ไก่) which is chicken curry simmered in spices and coconut milk. It’s similar to the famous massaman curry, but I prefer this version as it’s a little less sweet and a little more flavor. With some rice, it was fabulous. Then came Pla Duk Foo Pad Prik King (ปลาดุกฟูผัดพริกขิง), a deep fried fluff of catfish that was super flavorful and topped with fried basil leaves. It was crispy and offered a ton of flavor and texture with a good kick of ginger. Then came Kai Paloe (ไข่พะโล้), which is a Chinese inspired Thai dish that consists of thick chunks of pork belly simmers for a long time in Chinese five spice and combined with eggs. It’s a little sweet, and kind of a comfort dish rather than a royal Thai food. A few plates of rice and I was a very happy diner at Krua OV (ครัว OV). While not all the dishes at the restaurant are royal Thai food, they do have a few dishes that are authentic and royal, and other that are occasionally cooked and perfected in the royal Thai courts. This restaurant is peaceful, unique, and the food is fantastic!

The Mark Pose.1.Eat somthing 2.close your eyes 3.Tilt your head to the right
Thai royalty had some interesting things to eat.
That face expression☺️??
Seriously mark. That's not how us Thai ppl. eat Khao chae. It's a shame since u have a Thai wife.
How to eat Thailand's classic summer treat : Don't treat khao chae like khao tom (boiled rice soup). You'll only insult it. Khao chae is an art, not only in the preparation, but also in the feasting. Don't heap your bowl full with rice. Add just a third, followed by just enough jasmine water to cover the rice. Only add enough ice to cool things down. Whatever you do, don't put the side dishes into your bowl of rice. Have a little bite of your side dish, chew a bit, then follow with a spoonful of the icy rice. Don't forget to nibble on those fresh vegetables between each side to give your tongue a break from those sugar-overloaded bites.
Streetname of this restaurant?
Hmmm looks good , I wanna try it one more time.
wow…never really thought ppl would actually serve rice with water in a restaurant lol…i eat that at home all the time when I have a craving for it. It esp tastes really well with flavorful dishes.
Ok, that's it. When I'm retired someday, I will travel for the sole purpose of tasting all the delicious food around the world.
Some of these dishes look so unusual, compared to the simple Thai dishes. That jasmine water slash rice looks interesting. Thank You, Mark

How Come You Don't Use A Knife When Eating Royal Thai Food?!!
Khao chae is served during the "summer" and could be expensive when served in a "real" restaurant…
Duck eggs are used in the pork stew…
What's the phone number of the OV kitchen? Please consider including the phone number when doing reviews; it helps the viewers to locate the restaurants
is there something you dont like
Do u have the address to this restaurant?
Wow, the kao shae takes me back to my childhood in Thailand. Two things, I love the way you use both spoon and fork to eat your rice like the traditional Thais. Secondly, the condiment that you ate with the jasmine rice water should be eaten first and then follow by the rice water so that you don't get those floaties in the jasmine rice water bowl. Either way it all just look incredible. I didn't even know they still sell this dish since it's so old fashion. Great find!
