- Food Travel Log
- Near Yaowarat in Bangkok’s Chinatown is a hidden gem. The Gai Yang (grilled chicken) here is so good it’ll make you shout! The garlic and black pepper aroma from the charcoal grill drew me in. The juicy yet firm meat and the crispy skin with rich fat made my throat slide smoothly. I gulped down the beer in seconds, feeling pure joy.

- Gai Yang is a traditional Thai grilled chicken dish believed to have been introduced through cultural exchanges with Laos. It is slowly grilled over charcoal, resulting in a juicy and flavorful interior. The key to charcoal grilling Gai Yang is the marination time and cooking technique, ensuring that the flavors are well absorbed and the skin is quickly crisped at high heat. This dish is usually enjoyed with a spicy sauce and sticky rice, but Gai Yang seasoned with black pepper and garlic pairs exceptionally well with beer. By the way, "Gai Ban Prik Thai Dam" is renowned locally for its black pepper flavor, and it's a highly popular restaurant among both tourists and locals. But author, the expression "guzzling beer in a split second" is quite out there! If the Gai Yang is slipping, it's not because of the taste, it's more about the pace at which you're eating!
