Thai chicken rice is a simple and comforting dish that is enjoyed for its balance of flavors and textures. It is typically served for lunch or dinner and is often considered a comfort food in Thai cuisine.

I ate Kuang Heng Pratu Nam Chicken Rice on my last day in Bangkok. This is a famous chicken rice stall known by locals in Bangkok and has been around since 1932. I ordered their signature chicken rice (50 baht) and dried fish maw soup (60 baht). I think this is breast meat and it was tender. not bad! The rice wasn't clumpy which was good and more importantly it was flavorful and fragrant.

The fish maw soup is more viscous than our regular one. Chock full of ingredients such as chunks of fish maw, chicken blood cubes, and quail eggs. It was flavorful with a more strong smell of the chicken blood cube.
