Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา) is a famous restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that serves chicken rice and satay. More details here: http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2014/05/khao-man-gai-kiat-ocha-chiang-mai/
If you're searching for the best restaurants in Chiang Mai, you will surely come across a restaurant known as Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา). This restaurant has been around for a long time, and it's been a favorite for locals in Chiang Mai as well as Bangkok Thai tourists for many years. The restaurant is located right in the heart of Chiang Mai, in the middle of the center of the city, just south of Three Kings Monument. Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา) only really serves two different dishes khao man gai (ข้าวมันไก่), which is Thai style chicken and rice, along with the rare accompaniment of Thai pork satay, known as moo satay (หมูสะเต๊ะ). This combination is not really common in Thailand, but it is a brilliant idea and the two dishes go quite well together I must say.
So actually, if you order just a plate of khao man gai (ข้าวมันไก่), it will come with one scoop of rice on a plate with a small handful of chicken chopped on top of it - so it will be a single plate dish. For me that's just not enough protein, so when we ate at Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา), we decided to go for the full chicken plate and rice on separate plates - actually Ying and I each got our own plate of chicken because we each wanted a full plate to ourselves.
If you just order the normal plate of chicken at Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา), it comes with about 70% of white meat chicken sliced, and the other 30% is a mixture of different chicken organs like liver, heart, and gizzard. I like to go for the next plate, and I also told them to prepare it with no skin because I'm not a big fan of boiled chicken skin. Along with the chicken, you get a couple of plates of rice which is cooked in the broth and fat of the chicken. But while this type of rice can be too oily for me sometimes, at Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา) it was not too oily, and it was just fragrant and delicious. The absolute best thing about eating khao man gai (ข้าวมันไก่) is the raw chilies and raw ginger that are served on the side, and also the sauce. This version of khao man gai (ข้าวมันไก่) was prepared Teochew style, so the sauce was made from a blend of fermented soybeans - the sauce was awesome - but for me it's all about the chilies and ginger.
We ordered a platter of 20 sticks of Thai pork satay or moo satay (หมูสะเต๊ะ). I think everyone who eats at Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา) gets a plate of their pork satay. They are cooked in front of the restaurant, and you literally cannot resist them. I would have to say they were quite a good version moo satay (หมูสะเต๊ะ), the meat was nice and tender, not too sweet, and it had just the right amount of spice and flavor to it.
Kiat Ocha (ร้าน เกียรติโอชา) is probably the best restaurant in Chiang Mai for Thai style chicken rice, and it remains one of the most famous restaurants in the city. Chicken rice is not my favorite dish in Thai cuisine, but I have to say they do a really good job of making it here and I would gladly eat here again.
