My Happy Meal at Nong's Khao Man Gai 🍛

Drove three hours from Seattle just for this! Every time I visit Portland, my first stop is always Nong's Khao Man Gai. The familiar sign, simple menu, but it holds flavors you just can’t forget～😋 Their signature Khao Man Gai (chicken and rice) is always my go-to! Tender, juicy chicken, rice steamed fragrantly with chicken oil, paired with that special dipping sauce—slightly spicy with a hint of ginger and garlic. One bite and I’m in heaven! 💖 Everyone I bring here becomes an instant fan. This time, I also tried the chicken liver and gizzard—surprisingly delicious, no weird taste at all～👏 The owner is as warm as ever, smiling and asking, “Are you from Seattle?” She remembers her regulars! ❤️ Sitting by the window with sunlight streaming in, enjoying a warm bowl of comfort—it makes the long drive totally worth it.✨ There’s often a line, but it moves quickly, so you won’t wait long. 📝 I recommend adding a bowl of their light, savory soup—it’s the perfect match with the chicken rice! Next time I’m in Portland, I’ll try more side dishes. Heard you can’t go wrong with anything here～👍 I even packed two orders to take home—gotta keep the goodness going! 🚗💨 I truly envy Portland locals who get to enjoy such comforting food anytime! #PortlandEats #KhaoManGai #NongsKhaoManGai #FoodDiary #FoodieLife #SimpleButDelicious #WorthTheDrive
