For delicious royal Thai food and marvelous curries go to Krua OV ( OV. Get all the information here - Khao gaeng is a Thai term that means rice and curry. Normally the dishes are prepared and waiting to be ordered as soon as you arrive at the restaurant. It's an everyday food in Thailand and you'll find khao gaeng stalls throughout the country and all over Bangkok. But there's one restaurant known as Krua OV ( OV) that's located within the lush Dusit government district of Bangkok, and they serve not only curries, but a selection of amazing royal Thai food as well. The chefs of the restaurant have long routes of royal cooking in the royal courts of Thailand. That being said, I can tell you for sure, you're in good hands when you eat at Krua OV ( OV. As many Thai food connoisseurs say, Khao Chae ) is one of the best and most important examples of royal Thai food cooking - and they happen to be very famous throughout Bangkok for it. So that's exactly what I started out with, not wanting to miss it. The platter came neatly decorated with a full plate of mixed goodies included fried pork, sweet pork, and a chili stuffed with pork and deep fried in an egg net. Along with the deep fried selection of fragrant tidbits, Khao Chae ) would not be complete without the essential jasmine rice in a pool of ice water. Yes, it's a bizarre combination, but after you try them ingredients and jasmine rice water together, you'll realize just how refreshing it is. When it comes to royal Thai food cuisine, you should try Khao Chae. Along with Khao Chae ) we ordered Gaeng Garee Gai ) which is chicken curry simmered in spices and coconut milk. It's similar to the famous massaman curry, but I prefer this version as it's a little less sweet and a little more flavor. With some rice, it was fabulous. Then came Pla Duk Foo Pad Prik King, a deep fried fluff of catfish that was super flavorful and topped with fried basil leaves. It was crispy and offered a ton of flavor and texture with a good kick of ginger. Then came Kai Paloe, which is a Chinese inspired Thai dish that consists of thick chunks of pork belly simmers for a long time in Chinese five spice and combined with eggs. It's a little sweet, and kind of a comfort dish rather than a royal Thai food. A few plates of rice and I was a very happy diner at Krua OV ( OV. While not all the dishes at the restaurant are royal Thai food, they do have a few dishes that are authentic and royal, and other that are occasionally cooked and perfected in the royal Thai courts. This restaurant is peaceful, unique, and the food is fantastic Address: 199 Thanon Pichai, Kwang, Nakhon Chaisi, Kate Dusit, Bangkok

Wow, the kao shae takes me back to my childhood in Thailand. Two things, I love the way you use both spoon and fork to eat your rice like the traditional Thais. Secondly, the condiment that you ate with the jasmine rice water should be eaten first and then follow by the rice water so that you don't get those floaties in the jasmine rice water bowl. Either way it all just look incredible. I didn't even know they still sell this dish since it's so old fashion. Great find

Hey Mark, where has the usual chili sauce been, lately? :) I noticed some people in your videos comments always asking, how you stay so slim I have a few thoughts about that LOL I think maybe you have a fast metabolism, eat healthy overall with many meals being light, and I also think. you walk a LOT; ) Am I right about the walking? And how tall are you? I think it takes a lot of calories and protein to keep a young man of your build going

Wow, Mark. You're eating food fit for a king And at bargain prices to boot. The Khao Chae is so interesting, I don't think I've ever seen it on the menu here in the states. I wonder if this array of dishes is so specialized that you wouldn't find it in regular Thai restaurants in the region? And I also noticed your rice is portion controlled as opposed to the usual heap. haha So extraordinary. and so delicious looking

Hey man, me and my friend have been watching your videos and can't wait to get out there, the food looks completely sublime. I want to buy my own place after I've been there for a few years but not sure exactly how to go about it yet. Do you know how long I will need to be there for before I can apply for citizenship? Are you on facebook btw?

Hey, well there are things I don't like as much as other things, but I really do enjoy just about anything. I will say that I don't like food that's too greasy, and I don't like eating too much fat - so meat that's full of fat is something I don't like. But I usually enjoy weird / bizarre looking or sounding things

Khao chae is served during the summer and could be expensive when served in a real restaurant. Duck eggs are used in the pork stew. What's the phone number of the OV kitchen? Please consider including the phone number when doing reviews; it helps the viewers to locate the restaurants

Hey Mark and Ying. Have you ever thought of self-publishing your books along with your videos through Amazon. com for the e-Kindle and other e-readers? Your approach is quite unique and you could reach a much wider audience. Just a thought. Love your videos.
