Thai Chicken Biryani - Khao Mok Gai and Muslim Food (ข้าวหมกไก่)
Ойын-сауық

Rice biryani combined with any kind of meat, most often chicken, beef, goat, or fish, is one of the most comforting dishes that exists on the plantet.
Biryani is an amazing food, having origins in Middle Eastern Persia and eventually finding its way to the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and central Asia as well.
Unlike pilaf (or pilau) rice where the meat and rice are cooked together, with biryani the rice and meat is cooked separately and then combined on a plate to be served. The rice is fragrantly cooked with meat stock, turmeric, and a host of other mouthwatering spices.
In Thailand, biryani is especially known throughout the country as most commonly a Thai Muslim food dish. The most common varieties are khao mok gai (chicken biryani), khao mok neua (beef biryani) and khao mok pa (goat biryani).
In Bangkok, though it's not as common as other cheap street dishes, biryani is not hard to find either - there are some great restaurants serving up the delicacy.
In today's video I head over to Bangkok's Aeesa Rot Dee (อาอีซะฮ์ รสดี), a long standing Thai Muslim food restaurant that has been serving their khao mok recipe for many years and pleasing their happy customers. Oddly, the restaurant itself is located in the midst of Khao San Road (the tourism backpacking headquarters of Bangkok), yet it remains a very local eatery.
There are quite a few things to choose from - fresh and fried spring rolls, beef satay skewers with peanut sauce, curry noodles, roti mataba, roti sweet, and of course the biryani.
I began my meal with fresh steaming bowl of chicken curry noodles (Kuay Teow Gaeng ก๋วยเตี๋ยวแกง), a dish made with blanched rice noodles swimming in a thick and creamy coconut chicken soup. It was hearty and the flavors were nicely balanced.
Next up was the khao mok gai (chicken biryani) the signature and probably the most famous dish from Aeesa Rot Dee (อาอีซะฮ์ รสดี). The rice was so intensely delicious - not over strong, but just comforting good and served with a nice minty fresh sauce.
To wash it down I ordered a bowl of soup gai (chicken soup), a wonderful chicken broth flavored with deep fried shallots, soured with lime juice and garnished with a handful of fresh herbs.
The por pia sot (fresh spring rolls) was an interesting combination that consisted of a variety of ingredients packed into a pancake like wrapper and topped with a variety of things and finally drizzled with lots of sweet syrup. The contrast of sweet and salty was great, but this wasn't my favorite dish of the meal.
Finally, saving the best for last, I dug into my plate of khao mok neua (beef biryani). It was everything I was expecting, fragrant rice mingled with tender stewed beef of exceptional flavor.
As a big fan of rice biryani from around the world and a lover of Thai Muslim food, Aeesa Rot Dee (อาอีซะฮ์ รสดี) is a restaurant in Bangkok that I just can't get enough of!

Great to hear that you'll be visiting Thailand. This biryani can be found in Bangkok (like this restaurant), but it's more common in southern Thailand - often it's considered a Muslim dish in Thailand. Thank you for watching!

Mark is so adorable when he savours all the flavours! Thank you for the food information; now I'm inspired to search for recipe how-to's to all these different dishes! x
I'm not really sure as I've only spoken Thai to them, however they have a nice picture menu on the wall that you can point to without knowing any Thai. Hope you can visit!
I love to try these different types of food. Thanks for the upload.
I know, I really want to go... possibly next year! Have you done a lot of traveling in India?

Spent 4 happy years living round the corner, and still make an effort to go there to this day, despite living 15km away.
Mark, these dishes look so yummy! Love the video!
Thank you very much, and I'd love to visit Brazil one day!
Haha, well thank you so much for watching, I'll keep more videos coming!
Ok, thanks for sharing. I have had biryani in Thailand a few times when the meat comes on the bone, but this restaurant serves it boneless. I also had some mutton biryani in East Africa and it came with the bone on.
