Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice at Emquartier Phrom Phong Bangkok

The Khao Man Gai – Hainanese chicken rice at Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice in the Enquartier Shopping Mall is the best Khao Man Gai chicken rice I have eaten in Bangkok. Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice were listed in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand 2020. The price for the small Chicken Rice is 80 Baht which is a bit more expensive than what you can buy elsewhere but this is very delicious chicken rice.

The Hainanese Chicken rice served at Go-Ang Pratunam is cooked to a 50 year old family recipe. The chicken is moist and full of flavour. The rice is on point, not dry and also full of the chicken flavour. The small serve for 80 baht is a small meal. You can get the large for 95 Baht. The small was a good snack or light meal. I had a big breakfast so this was perfect size for a light lunch.

As well as the traditional boiled chicken, they also serve the chicken rice with fried chicken or you can do a 50/50 mix of the boiled and fried chicken. See the full menu at Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice.

The Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice store is in the Gourmet Eats Food Court, located on the Lower Ground floor of the Emquartier Shopping Mall, found right next to the Phrom Phong BTS Station (1 stop from Asok BTS Station or 2 stops from Nana BTS Station).

There is a famous chicken rice stall found across the road from Emquartier (exit 2 of Phrom Phong BTS Station) which serves chicken rice for only 50 baht but I prefer to eat in the shopping mall food courts in Bangkok as they have much stricter hygene practices. As well as having a clean shop, wearing plastic gloves, Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice (and all stores in Gourmet Eats) do not accept cash. There is a desk in Gourmet Eats where you can exchange cash for a contactless payment card which you scan at the POS at Go-Ang. Any money left on your card you can exchange for cash after your meal.

Even though the chicken rice is more expensive than other places in Bangkok, it is still a very cheap meal. I bought the small Chicken Rice meal for 80 Baht, and bought a bottle of water from the drinks stall for 20 baht, so my lunch was only 100 Baht – around A$3.50. Try getting a tasty meal like this in Sydney for that price!
