Chiang Rai Mae Chan Night Market
Fried Khao Fuean at Mae Chan Night Market http://www.hotsia.com > Chiang Rai > Mae Chan Night Market Eating fried Khao Fuean at Mae Chan Night Market. I came down from Doi Tung and stopped by the fair at Mae Fah Luang. It was already dark, but I continued driving to Mae Chan intending to find accommodation there. Unable to find any, I stopped to eat at Mae Chan Night Market before heading up to Doi Mae Salong to look for a place to stay. At Mae Chan Night Market, besides ordering regular dishes, I also tried fried Khao Fuean, a Tai Yai (Shan) dish.

Also known as Khao Ram Fuean or Khao Ram Fuen, this Tai Yai dish is made from flour. There are two types I saw: one eaten as is without frying, and the fried version. At Mae Chan Night Market, they serve the fried type, which is crispy, fragrant, and very delicious. They make a lot, so it seems very popular. If you pass by Mae Chan, try stopping to taste it. Fried Khao Ram Fuean is also available at fresh markets in Mae Hong Son, prepared like noodle dishes, and you can find Khao Fuean sold around the Golden Triangle area as well. Since northern Thailand, Chiang Mai,
Mae Hong Son borders Myanmar, Shan State, and Kengtung Province, which are Tai Yai lands. Therefore, finding Tai Yai food in this area is not difficult.
