ร้าน ข้าวอุ่น Northern Thai Cuisine

🍃 "Khao Aun Northern Thai Cuisine" — Delicious, hearty Northern Thai cuisine, just like eating your mother's cooking. 🥢🌾

Our first meal on our Chiang Mai trip...of course, could only be "authentic Northern Thai cuisine." 😋💕 We chose to start our trip at "Khao Aun Northern Thai Cuisine," a charmingly named local Northern Thai restaurant located near the Khwang Sing intersection. It's easily accessible, has parking, and the atmosphere is filled with the aroma of fragrant herbs even before you sit down. 🌿

The restaurant is located in a small alley with simple decor, but it feels like dining at a Northern relative's house. 🤎 The portions here are small, allowing you to order a variety of dishes, perfect for those who want to "try a variety" without getting too full. 🍽️

Let's start with our recommended dish! ✨
👉 Deep-fried Krabong — A delicacy rarely found in other restaurants. "Krabong" is young gourds cut into bite-sized pieces, coated in batter and deep-fried until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's so delicious you won't be able to stop eating. 🥒✨
👉 Roasted Pork Larb — Fragrant with larb spices and Northern Thai chilies. Minced pork stir-fried until just the right amount of dry, served with hot sticky rice is the best! 🍚🔥
👉 Hang Lay Curry — Rich flavor, intensely fragrant curry paste, tender pork that's not greasy. 🐷
👉 Eggplant Chili Paste with Boiled Egg — Freshly pounded chili paste with the aroma of roasted eggplant, a well-balanced flavor paired perfectly with boiled eggs and vegetables. 🥚🥦
👉 Fried Egg with Fermented Pork Sausage — A simple yet perfect dish. The slightly sour and fragrant fermented pork sausage is stir-fried with eggs, creating a rich aroma that fills the table. 🍳

Every flavor is authentically Northern, yet easy to eat and not too spicy for non-natives. ❤️ I love how the restaurant uses fresh ingredients, and every dish is carefully crafted. Even the small details, like the glazed bowls with traditional designs, create a warm, inviting atmosphere. 📸

💬 Fun Fact: Northern Thai cuisine tends to emphasize saltiness, spicy flavors, and the aroma of herbs. It's not overly sugary, and uses freshly pounded curry paste. This creates a harmonious and healthy flavor. 🍀 Some dishes, like "Krabong Tod," also reflect local wisdom, transforming local vegetables into delicious snacks!

If you're in Chiang Mai and want to try authentic Northern Thai cuisine in a friendly atmosphere, without worrying about being too spicy or heavy, "Khao Aun Northern Thai Cuisine" is the answer to your heart's content from the very first meal. 🥰
