Kao Mok Gai Soi Convent

Parked on the sidewalk in front of Bua restaurant, Kao Mok Gai Soi Convent has managed to maintain its magic for 23 years by offering only one dish: kao mok gai (Thai-style chicken biryani). In this delectable dish, tender chicken bits are mixed into aromatic yellow rice that’s seasoned with herbs and spices. A sweet dipping sauce, served in a tiny ramekin, comes with the rice. Ask for some chicken soup to spice up your meal—its sharp, tangy flavor helps cut away the greasy mouthfeel.
