Description

Khao mok gai is the order here: yellow rice fragrant with spice, tender chicken, a fried egg if you fancy it, and a bowl of chicken broth alongside. The rice has proper depth, not the fluorescent yellow sadness found at too many roadside counters.

There is no printed menu and no theatre around choosing. Eight or so cooked dishes sit in the chilled cabinet, changing through the day, and you point at what looks good before taking a table. Beef curry, spicy fish, chicken dishes and rice plates cover the useful ground, with white rice available beside the yellow chicken rice.

Vanairlor cooks Muslim Thai food with the blunt confidence of a place feeding its neighbourhood. Portions are cheap, flavours are punchy, and the extra soup and vegetables turn a rice plate into a full breakfast or quick lunch.

This suits Foodies and Budget travellers who enjoy letting the cabinet decide dinner. The best seat is one near the front, where you can inspect the curries before committing to a plate of mystery liver.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Choose your food at the counter before claiming a table, and point directly at the tray you want to avoid culinary roulette.
