Saraburi is another province not far from Bangkok, and it's on the way to many other provinces. Today we're recommending Jae Noi Khao Man Gai in Wihan Daeng, a famous and delicious spot in Saraburi.
We believe khao man gai (chicken rice) has long been a beloved Thai staple. It's a quick meal that's easy to find everywhere: chicken boiled until cooked, eaten with rice cooked in real chicken fat, served with a well-rounded broth from boiling the chicken, and given an extra kick by a dipping sauce that each shop makes with its own recipe. Jae Noi's in Wihan Daeng is one of those places that draws crowds, so much so that you could call it the most famous shop in Wihan Daeng District.
Saraburi may be a province people pass through, but it's not just a pass-through, because there are lots of tasty places here too. If you're hungry, we recommend Jae Noi Khao Man Gai in Wihan Daeng, with plenty of delicious options: chicken rice and fried chicken, red pork and crispy pork rice, egg noodles with red pork wontons or tom yum seafood shrimp wontons, bubble tea and fresh fruit smoothies, ice cream, various noodles and lots of tasty fried snacks.
Let's look at what Meeting Point ate.
Capon chicken rice with firm, meaty chicken
Come and eat till you're stuffed, because the chicken is really firm and the portion is generous. The dipping sauce is seriously good; we'd love for you to try it. This shop's chicken sauce is unlike any other: bold and sour, cutting through the richness perfectly, especially with the shop's chopped aged ginger. The sweet soy sauce is great too, fragrant, slightly sweet and a little salty. And you can't skip the broth. We went to the back of the shop to watch it being made in a huge pot packed with chicken bones. Sipped hot, it goes down so smoothly.
Everything is made fresh each day with nothing left overnight, because it sells out every day, so you can be sure it's delicious.
We were also impressed by the fried and grilled snacks. If you're buying a lot, get 10 skewers, because you'll get 1 extra free.
