When it comes to Thai food, there may be many options in Portland but none as unique as Nong's Khao Man Gai. A one dish wonder, the cart offers the Hainanese staple of Khao Man Gai, which is essentially poached chicken served with flavored rice punctuated with the pungeon sauce and a few fresh veggies that achieve the infamous Thai balance. Nong keeps it simple wrapping up the meal in Butcher paper and the side of soup in a paper cup. To keep it from getting too mundane, choices include different cuts of protein, varying degrees of spicy sauce and Khao Man Gai Piset that simply up sizes the staple and adds bits of chicken liver. Wholesome, flavorful and at a great price making this food cart, a must stop while in the city.
