BANGKOK AMAZING GOURMET
.
Chilled summer begins
Khao-chae, or literally means rice-soaked (chilled), is rice soaked in icy cold jasmine-scented water served with Thai tidbits.
Benefited from a 19th century (khao-chae) recipe from the Princess Chalermkhet Mongkol's Palace, Lai Rot Thai Restaurant proclaimed its khao chae set as khao-chae-chao-wang (the royal people's chilled rice soup).
However, Lai Rot doesn't play hard enough with it, turns out its khao-chae is one of the most so-so (though not yet of garbage grade) sets I have ever sampled!

April 13 to 15 have quite some events for me, one of those is the IRS deadline for tax filing.
Look forward to some Khao Chae from here soon.
:) I'd look forward to Khao Chae again.
Ok the once a year khao chae festival has come!
The Khao Chae in Grand Hyatt I had with the Angel is the best.
I suggest they shall serve Kaho Chae all year around to benefit more tourists.
Khao chae at Lai Rot is very famous. Now no aroi anymore!
Even my local friends once told me to try Lai Rot, but they are not much into Khao Chae somehow; so they may have the picture of many many years ago. Personally I like the one at Tea Room by Grand Hyatt.
Erawan Tea Room is good, but if u hv tried Baan Prachachuen real royal recipe khao chae, then u will love khao chae in a new degree .. :-)
Khao Chae is good over all during hot weather.
Is that royal recipe about "low heat" cooking, like Blue Elephant?
royal (khao chae) recipe - about the "correct" jasmine-scented water soaked overnight and palace-style tidbits!
Thanks for the note. Should go there for a try, and will be in fact.
@Sea: chao chae at Lai Rot not worth ur limited quota, shall try other places instead ..
