The restaurant is filled with antique furniture and decorations, making it a delightful place to dine.
This restaurant is so popular that it's often featured in travel guidebooks, making it a favorite not only among Thais but also among tourists.
On this day too, many tourists were lined up in front of the store, waiting.
I waited for about 20 minutes after writing my name down.
Pen MomsonPoomjaiHe was originally an artist,
Apparently, whenever acquaintances came to visit from far away, he would treat them to the Northern Thai cuisine he prepared himself.
The event developed further, and in 1986, it was renovated and reopened as a restaurant offering traditional flavors, with my mother's cooperation.
The Lanna Kingdom once included Burma and Laos in its territory.
Here, you'll find many dishes that incorporate the culinary characteristics of those neighboring countries.

This restaurant is apparently famous for its large platter dishes called "hors d'oeuvres muang."
In the center of the large plate is Nam Prik Num (a dip based on chili peppers and eggplant).
Set the Nam Prik Ong (a non-spicy dip made with minced pork and a tomato base),
Surrounding it were Cape Moo (crispy fried pork rind), Sai Oua (Chiang Mai sausage),
Naem (fermented, sour and spicy raw sausage),
This dish is made with moo yong (Chiang Mai ham), moo tod (fried pork), and boiled vegetables.
Since we're planning to go to another restaurant this time, we'll skip the shared platters and order different dishes à la carte♪
"Chang Beer" 80 THB (approximately 300 yen in Japanese currency)
This beer rivals Singha (Beer Singha), the most popular beer in Thailand.
This beer won a gold medal at the 1998 International Beer Competition and is characterized by the strong bitterness typical of Thai beers.
"Sai Ua" 80 THB (approximately 300 yen in Japanese currency)
Sai Oua (Chiang Mai sausage) is also one of the representative dishes of northern Thailand.
These are spicy sausages infused with herbs, and the taste varies from shop to shop.
The spiral-shaped pieces are then grilled on a wire rack.
They cut it into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
It has a unique spiciness and an addictive flavor that pairs perfectly with beer!
"Nam Prik Ong" 50 THB (approximately 190 Japanese Yen)
Nam Prik is a traditional Thai paste that is eaten with raw vegetables or sticky rice.
There are many varieties, and it is a historical local dish.
This restaurant also has eight kinds of nam prik.
This time, I ordered Nam Prik Ong, which uses a tomato sauce base and includes minced pork to give it a richer flavor.
It has a slight spiciness, but the tomato sauce makes it milder.
Dip the vegetables in it to make them more palatable.
I love this dish because it's healthy and you can get lots of vegetables in it!
"Yam Jingai" 85 THB (approximately 320 Japanese Yen)
Many dishes in central Thailand use fresh herbs,
Northern cuisine often features dishes that use spices such as long pepper, fennel, and coriander seeds.
This soup isMcWenIt is characterized by the addition of a refreshing and fragrant spice.
In Thai,Yam ยำ" means to mix, and "jin" is a word for meat in the language of northern Thailand.Gai ไก่" means chicken.
When I asked the staff for a recommendation, they suggested this place.
It's a soup made by simmering chicken with various spices such as galangal, lemongrass, coriander seeds, and long pepper.
The spiciness of the chili peppers and the aroma of unfamiliar spices and herbs overwhelm me, making my lips, tongue, throat, and stomach ache!!!
You can taste the sweetness from the vegetables, and there's also a nice tanginess,
The spiciness was so intense it completely overpowered the other flavors.
Even we, who are quite good with spicy food, were completely defeated by this soup! (lol)
Since it's a specialty dish from northern Thailand, I can't guarantee it will be spicy, but if you're good with spicy food, give it a try.
With my mouth stinging, I hailed a tuk-tuk in front of the shop and headed to the next place.
Next up is something that we chicken lovers absolutely must eat.
