２．What is Bangkok’s food culture and goan khao manｋai?
2-1. History and features of Go-Ang Khao Man Kai Pratunam
Go-Ang Khao Man Kai Pratunam is a long-established khao man gai restaurant located in the Pratunam area. The first owner started the khao man gai restaurant from a food stall, and at that time, he was operating a food stall in the Pratunam area. Since then, it has grown into a hugely popular restaurant with queues of customers, and has been loved by locals and tourists alike since it was established in 1960. The shop is always lively and bustling, with the staff in pink uniforms busily moving about, and you can always feel the local atmosphere. Although the number of branches has increased to six, we strongly recommend that you experience the history and atmosphere of the main Go-Ang Khao Man Kai Pratunam branch on your first visit.
2-2. Recommended dishes on the menu
The restaurant’s signature dish is, of course, khao mangai. The chicken is tenderly stewed and the rice is softly flavoured with chicken. The juicy chicken and savoury rice are a perfect match, creating an exquisite taste. Another recommended dish is maratun sik lom (bitter gourd and pork bone soup), a bitter gourd soup. Try this one too.

The head office, Go-Ang Khao Man Kai Pratunam , is located in the heart of Bangkok city. It is easily accessible from major tourist attractions. It is open from 6am to as late as 11pm, so you can enjoy delicious khao mangai any time of the day.

While locals use the restaurant on a daily basis, tourists also often visit to enjoy the local flavours.
４．Taste and evaluation of food
The food atGo-Ang Khao Man Kai Pratunam is highly regarded by the locals. The khao mangai, in particular, is an unforgettable taste experience, with the flavour of the chicken and rice in perfect harmony. The sides and soups served in the restaurant are also painstakingly prepared, and are highly regarded for the freshness of their ingredients and cooking techniques.
５．My experience
When I visit this restaurant, my essential order is not only khao mangai, but also bitter melon soup. Known as soup mala in Thai, this soup is a perfect combination of the richness of pork spare ribs and the bitterness of bitter melon, making it a perfect accompaniment to the khao mangai. Of particular note is the nam chim. It has a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavours and offers a profound taste. It not only complements the chicken and rice, but also accentuates the presence of the dipping sauce. Khao mangai lovers should definitely try this dish.
The second branch, Go Ang Pratunam Hainanese Chicken Rice 2, which is closer to the main restaurant, is a little more expensive, but you can eat more slowly in a clean, air-conditioned restaurant.We actually tried the food and compared them, but we did not notice any significant differences in the appearance or the taste of the nam chim.
However, there is a difference in price, with the main restaurant costing 50 baht and the branch 65 baht.This is probably due to the difference in rent.First, try the authentic Khao Mangai at the main restaurant and then enjoy the original menu at the branch.This is recommended.
