Must Eat Number 1
Khao Kha Moo from the ‘Cowboy Hat Lady’ $
- Night Market
- Chang Phueak Gate (North Gate)
- Daily 5:00pm to 2:00am
Braised pork leg, a runny egg, pickled mustard greens and a pour your own chilli vinegar sauce atop a plate of white rice = heaven. It’s the ultimate comfort food and if you’re in Chiang Mai,
Thailand you must come here. The ‘Cowboy Hat Lady’ recognisable by the cowboy hat that she wears, is renowned for her khao kha moo and her stall churns out plate after plate of porky goodness. Do yourself a favour and make sure you eat here.
Must Eat Number 2
Khao Soi at Lam Duan Fah Ham $
- 352/22 Charoenrat Rd/ Faham
- 9:00am to 4:00pm
Everyone who visits Chiang Mai has to sample Khao Soi at least once. This northern speciality of egg noodles in a coconut curry broth garnished with a squeeze of lime and fresh shallots is addictive. Lam Duan’s version has the perfect level of spice and it isn’t too sweet. You can alternate between the chicken and the beef to work out which is your favourite.
