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:
Kaiton Pratunam (Ko-Ang)

So though it’s not one of the best Thai dishes, Hainanese Chicken Rice in Thailand is a plainer dish that will surely be comforting and easy on the stomach.

Bad luck! I've never been to a Khao man Gai place that didn't have an assortment of herbs as well as chilis. You would have loved that.
When you stomach is upset then this chicken and rice will hit the spot for sure.
the condiment dip im used to for this dish has grated ginger in sesame oil, green onion, and white peppersalt
back in his days, when he was honest about food 😀 at least I love Khao Man Gai.
Thai chicken dishes very tasty ??good video mark???
What if I told you Mark thss as Kow Mun Gai is one of my favorite Thai Dishes?
who see this in 2020 when mark young?
Looks good. Great video ty
2018 oct at pratunam
whos filming?
Just returned from my vacation in Thailand and I do miss this dish soooo much! After so many meals of flavorful street foods, it was nice to have a bland and homey chicken rice dish with plain chicken soup (similar to what us Hmong folks make at home).
BTW- we watched tons of your videos before our trip and thank you for all your work! Keep it up! Can't wait for our next trip.
Been there and it was really good
But you made this dish in another video!
one of my favorites since I was a very little girl
that looked horrible Mark
This is my favorite thing to eat after going to the gym. You get carbs, fat and protein.
Reminds me of Chicken Rice I had in Singapore.
I love Hainanese Chicken! In KL, there is a big shopping mall called Sogo and they sell it there, I always go there. The chicken was tender, a bit juicy, always fresh. They serve it with green and red chilli sauce, along with soy sauce and extra delicious chicken broth/soup sprinkled with coriander in a small bowl. Soooo good!
It doesn't look like it has any taste.
Can't go wrong with rice and chicken.
Usually I just drown mine in the sauce, lol.
My mom makes this often, I am from Hainan
if just see the appearance of the chicken….too dry & not juicy enough …
It is definitely the comfort food. I cook this whenever I feel homesick 🙂
loving ' it
this thai dish is for the "common guy"
I love Hainese Chicken over rice. Its so good.
Gotta love that Pinoy T-shirt! Haha. Great video again. I can't wait to get to Bangkok next Friday. So many food you post up that I must have. And that Yao Ming face in ecstasy you make after every bite. Must do that bro!
They say, like Phad Thai, Khao Man Gai is supposedly originally a Chinese dish that Thai people assimilated/adopted and made their own. I love how food influences cross borders !!! mmmmhhhhhhh
"Not one of Thailand's best dishes"?? I LOVE Khao Man Gai!!But I know what you mean. Imho Thai people don't ONLY eat hot hot hot, and even once in a while get fed up of too much spiciness. It is a good contrast dish, and I find it extremely comforting. I feel home, whenever I cook and eat this! Same for Kai Paloh (another non-spicy dish with pork, 5-spicey broth and boiled egg…you already introduced to us!). However, give me spicy Tom Yum, Gaeng Som, Som Dtum & Gai Yang anyday!So hungry now 😀
My mom always make this it taste so good.
we use chicken thighs for a more juicy and tender chicken. and i dip the chicken into the sauce rather than drizzling it over it.
Hainanese chicken is a chinese dish 😛
But i love thai food.
Hainanese chicken rice is one of my favourite asian dishes ever!
It looks so bland and basic but it is the sauce and the juicy chicken that makes this dish amazing! And I actually don't like rice much at all, but when i do eat rice, i have to have it like this 🙂
im hainanese,i had the hainan chicken rice once in Thailand,not really …..
I first saw your video showing you eating fruit, thought you were cool. After seeing this I realize that you're not.
fuck eating meat and animals. Go vegan!
U should try Malaysian chicken rice balls
Hainanese chicken and rice in California is so good . We have a better sauce made out of grated ginger, green onion, canola old and salt. I think you just had it with the wrong sauce
I love hainanese checken rice. u should try the singapore style one. this doesnt luk lyk that one. u'll love it.
haha are you wearing a pacman shirt? PHILIPPINES LETS GO!
That's not Moo Dang sauce. He use the right one. The restaurant he went is one of the most famous Kao Mun Kai in BKK.
Do you eat your Chicken & Rice with a, hot red chilli sauce too. The sauce you had in this video looked kinda like the sauce they eat with, Moo dang.
