Come for the Chicken Rice and stay for the Khao Soi, Northern Thailand's signature dish. The red and yellow curry is Burmese inspired. Handfuls of bright yellow egg noodles are scooped into bowls and topped with a braised chicken leg, ladles of fragrant, oil-slicked broth, a handful of fried noodles and a drizzle of coconut cream. Add a little chilli to it with fish sauce, onions and other Thai herbs that come as condiments to the dish for an amazing meal. At Sirichai, the Chicken Rice and the Khao Soi are served with the most delectable poached chicken imaginable. There are two other well-known versions of Khao Soi in Chiang Mai. The version served at the original Lamduon Fahrm (celebrated by Serious Eats) is quite sweet. The superior version at Khun Yai, championed by Bangkok ExtremeFoodies expert Mark Wiens, is a spicier, tastier version.
