Biryani is one of the most popular street food dishes in Thailand. Baan Khao Mok Gai Khun Nai, literally meaning Madam’s Chicken Biryani, has its own twist on the Thai-style biryani.

While they do serve biryani with boiled chicken, as is commonly done in Thailand, they also have their fried chicken version. The fried chicken is a special family secret that ensures a crispy and spicy crust while maintaining moist and succulent meat. 

Their dipping sauce is also a Phuket special. While most sauces in Bangkok are sour and green, this shop has a red sauce that is not easily found in central Thailand.

If you’re not a huge fan of fried chicken, you can also try their Phuket-style Coconut Milk BBQ Chicken, called Gai Golae in Thai. The marinated chicken is grilled and basted in coconut barbeque sauce that makes each bite a spicy, fragrant mess.

This restaurant serves authentic Phuket-style recipes. This is because the family who owns it literally moved from Phuket to begin serving food in the Bangkok and Nonthaburi areas.

Phuket is part of Southern Thailand which is famous for its spicy cuisine, even for Thai standards. Southern Thailand is also home to a lot of Thai Muslims.
