🌿✨ Huen Muen Jai, Chiang Mai — A Must-Try Northern Delight! ✨🌿
If you're in Chiang Mai and don't stop by "Huen Muen Jai," you'd be missing out! 😆 This restaurant serves authentic Northern Thai cuisine with traditional recipes. 🐃🌶️ Located not far from Nimmanhaemin Road, it's easy to get to. 🚗 Parking is convenient. The restaurant is a lovely and warm Lanna wooden house. 🏡💚 Just walking in makes you feel like you've truly arrived at a relative's home in the North. ☀️

The atmosphere is amazing! 🍃 There's both seating inside the wooden house and in a small garden. 🌸 The tables aren't too crowded, and there's soft Northern Thai music playing in the background. It's incredibly cozy. 😌

🍛 Menu Items We Ordered (and Really Want to Share)
• Nam Prik Num + Crispy Pork Skin 🥒🐷 This is a heartwarming dish that I fell in love with. 💚 The Nam Prik Num has a subtle roasted chili aroma and a perfect balance of flavor, not too spicy. Mix it with hot sticky rice and bite into crispy pork rinds. Oh my, so good! 😍
• Northern Hors d'oeuvres 🍽️ A collection of Northern delights in one dish — Sai Ua, Naem, Pork Rinds, Nam Prik Ong, and Nam Prik Num. The flavors are packed in, vibrant colors, and it's so tempting! 🤩
• Hang Lay Gaeng 🍛 Super tender pork with a rich flavor, fragrant with authentic Northern Thai curry paste, ginger, and garlic. 💥 It's so good with sticky rice!
• Jin Som Mok Kai 🥚 This dish is often overlooked, but I must say it's absolutely amazing! The sour, fragrant, and creamy flavor of the eggs baked with the pork is truly amazing! 💯
• Northern-style Laab Kua 🐮 The aroma of the Laab spices is incredibly smooth, unlike anything Isan-style Laab, with a rich, authentic Northern flavor.

Every dish is beautifully presented 🍃, like table art. You can sit and take photos before you eat! 📸🌸
