Khao man gai is Bangkok's Thai-Hainanese poached-chicken-on-fragrant-rice classic: poached chicken laid over rice cooked in chicken stock and pandan, served with a clear chicken soup and a ginger-chilli dipping sauce.
Khao man gai came to Bangkok with Hainanese Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century, settling around Pratunum and Silom. Go-Ang Pratunam opened on Petchaburi Road in 1960 with pink-uniformed staff still slicing chicken behind the counter today, and earned Michelin Bib Gourmand status when the guide launched in Thailand in 2018. The dish bridges Hainanese poached-chicken technique with Thai chilli-and-ginger sauces, and now operates as the canonical office-lunch order across the entire city.
