Tried it last week with the fried chicken skins and I was hooked. I vowed to “forget my lunch” several times this week, but when I finally got ’round to it, they were sold out!

And so, when I went into a nearby store and told them that my first choice had sold out, she said “the chicken and rice lady? She’s always sold out.”

This is only a minor setback. I plan on eating it till I’m tired of it, which I think will be a very long time…

Perfect with an iced vietnamese coffee!

Damn. The secret’s out; the last great food of Bangkok is now officially introduced to the world. Ah, well, enjoy it!

*The literal translation is “Greasy rice chicken”. “Mun” means “oily/greasy”, and is sometimes used derogatorily.

Went there for lunch with my family yesterday. The food was really awesome. Taste just like food in Thailand. They are very polite and honest. It was really busy when we got there. She said it’ll be a while to get our food ready which was fine. After we got the food it was really worth the waiting. By 1:30-2pm They sold out. That’s just how good they are I guess

Ninjabear! What on earth are you doing getting your food cart info from the Oregonian? You should have been reading food carts portland 1st, instead!

It was a nice day and I was intrigued by the (June 26) Oregonian article on Nong’s Khao Man Gai, so I walked from the Lloyd Center all the way to SouthEAST 10th and Alder, just like the article said.

Naturally, there was nothing there but a bunch of industrial shops and garages. What a burn.

I’m just posting this message here so others who might have read the article and want to try Nong’s offerings can be forewarned: Her cart is on SouthWEST 10th and Alder.

Vince, couldn’t agree with you more on the Cafe sua da. Fantastic! And using Stumptown classes the whole thing up.

Yesterday at Nong’s, I sat next to a glamorous lady from Thailand. She said that the Kao Man Gai here was very good, very authentic. Needless to say, it was better than most Portland restaurant Thai food.

Anyway, this Thai lady kept folding her paper in on all sides, forming a bowl out of the paper.

I tried the Kao Man Gai again today, and did the fold technique. I found it helps keep all the food in your arms, instead of all over Alder! Give it a shot.
