Khao Soi - Northern Thailand's famous dish.

 

Muay Khao Soi 

Situated off Nimman Road, at Soi 12, is Chiang Mai's most reputable coffee shop, Muay Khao Soi. Serving Khao Soi, it is reminiscent of Singapore's Laksa. A brief description goes like this. There is a curry soup base, with yellow noodles, some boiled and some deep fried. Throw in a couple of chicken legs and the dish is complete. 

My associate and I had the larger version of it, with 2 chicken drumsticks. The price per dish was THB 85 or S$ 3.50.  The chicken drumsticks were very tender and flavourful, and the soup base was just the right viscosity - not too watery, neither was it too thick - The noodles were just the right crispiness. This is the second time I am eating Khao Soi (the first being last year) and I am never disappointed each time I eat it.  

To top things off,  I ordered the fried pork skin or pork lard. It was best eaten with some Thai pickle. A really satisfying meal, at a very decent price too.
