Bangkok Chicken Rice Plate ( Khao Man Gai ) 泰式鸡饭



Nowadays I prefer to cook less oily Thai style chicken rice (only use chicken breast) than the usual Chinese Hainanese chicken rice but we still go to our favourite Hainanese chicken rice stall quite often. I had cooked this Thai style chicken rice earlier, but this time I adapted a new dipping sauce from a new cookbook that I bought during a book sale few months ago And this new dipping sauce was equally good if compare to the earlier recipe.
