[Bangkok] Khao man gai (Hainanese chicken rice) from Sui Heng, Yannawa (ซุ่ยเฮงข้าวมันไก่ )

ZivBnd, I’m glad you enjoyed it there. I’ve always relished my visits to Bangkok (my maternal grandparents are Thai-Teochew Chinese from there, before they moved to Singapore).

I covered Sui Heng @ Yanawa as I wanted to visit most of Bangkok’s old eating places in the past year or so as part of my nostalgic food trip down places I know from childhood. So, besides 70-year-old Sui Heng, I’d also done:

  1. Eiah-Sae, which is 91-years-old this year.

  2. Tek Heng, 131-years-old this year. Its “mee krob” earned it a Royal Ribbon from King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).

  3. Prachak, 108-years-old this year, famous for their roast ducks.

  4. Siang Ki in Chinatown, which is almost 100-years-old. Famous for its Teochew-style rice porridge.

  5. Sor Boonprakob, over 80-years-old, and the legendary for their sticky rice with mango dessert:

Try some of these places if you have the time/opportunity.
