Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice - Is Thai Chicken Rice Better?

 Go-Ang Patunam Chicken Rice - Restaurant Front

Is there any difference between chicken rice in Thailand and Singapore? That was my first question when I saw the Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice at NEX.

Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice began as a food stall In Pratunam district of Bangkok in 1960. It became very popular in Bangkok and Bangkok Michelin Guide listed it as a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019.

Let’s check out this famous chicken rice shop from Bangkok and see if it lives up to its reputation. 

Go-Ang Patunam Chicken Rice - Interior 2

The interior of the restaurant reminds me more of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng with the brass dividers and pink neon words on the wall. The only tell-tale sign that this is a Thai restaurant are the brown motif tiles on the floor. 

Go-Ang Patunam Chicken Rice - Signature Thai Hainanese Chicken Rice

This is their Signature Thai Hainanese Chicken Rice (Single Portion) [S$4.80]. I honestly don’t feel that it is any different from the Hainanese chicken rice we have in Singapore. I wish the rice could be more fragrant and the chicken meat juicier. 

Go-Ang Patunam Chicken Rice - Steamed Sea Bass with Chilli, Lime & Garlic

Steamed Sea Bass with Chilli, Lime and Garlic [S$28.80] seem to be extremely popular, I saw it on many tables. Since I can’t really take spicy food, I ordered the non-spicy Steamed Sea Bass with Thai Fish Sauce [S$28.80] instead.

The fish comes in a fish-shaped steel plate with a burner underneath. The sea bass is very fresh and the salty Thai fish sauce further accentuates the fish’s freshness. If only they had cleaned the fish scales more throughly, it would have been perfect.

Go-Ang Patunam Chicken Rice - Homemade Lod Chong

Homemade Lod Chong [S$4.80] is a popular dessert that is enjoyed throughout Thailand. Lod chong is a combination of green noodles, sweetened coconut milk and crushed ice. I am used to the rich and flavorful cendol so I can’t really appreciate this watered-down version that is lod chong.

Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice serves well-executed Chinese and Thai dishes  at affordable prices. I won’t recommend their chicken rice but the steamed sea bass is a must-try.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
