Eat Sichon Chicken Biryani, a Southern specialty in Nakhon Si Thammarat
When talking about Nakhon Si Thammarat, an ancient city full of stories and authentic Southern culture, one of the must-try dishes according to mr.hotsia is “Sichon Chicken Biryani.” This dish truly represents Southern cuisine in this area. The chicken biryani here is not just plain steamed rice with boiled chicken; it is simmered with bold Southern spices until the aroma fills the air and the rich flavors deeply penetrate every bite of chicken.
For mr.hotsia, who had the chance to travel to Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, the first impression was the atmosphere of a small seaside town that still preserves the traditional Southern way of life. From fresh markets, seafood markets, to local restaurants that operate simply but warmly, all are filled with unique flavors.
How mr.hotsia enjoyed eating Sichon Chicken Biryani
Most chicken biryani shops in Sichon focus on using fresh ingredients. The chicken used is free-range, making the meat tender but not mushy. Importantly, the spices are perfectly blended, including turmeric, pepper, coriander seeds, and Southern spices that mr.hotsia could smell as soon as entering the shop. Some places serve it with a special dipping sauce that is sour, spicy, and slightly sweet, enhancing the chicken biryani’s flavor.
While waiting for the chicken biryani at a shop in Sichon, the fragrant aroma of steaming biryani filled the entire place, making my stomach growl louder. The first bite revealed a unique Southern spice simmering unlike anywhere else. The flavor was rich and deep but not overly spicy, perfectly balanced with soft and fluffy jasmine rice.
