Upon arriving at Tevada Market Sichon, a small market located in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, the first thing you feel is a warm atmosphere filled with locals buying fresh produce and traditional food, along with the fragrant aroma of spices and herbs wafting unintentionally. It’s a scent that clearly signals you’ve arrived at the home of authentic Southern chicken biryani. mr.hotsia has been searching for this market for a long time after hearing rumors that the chicken biryani here is truly delicious.

The chicken biryani here is unlike anywhere else because it uses genuine jasmine rice cooked with various Southern spices including turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, and carefully roasted garlic to create a rich aroma. The chicken is fresh free-range meat marinated with herbs and spices until fully infused, then boiled and grilled until the skin is crispy but the meat remains tender and juicy.

The first time mr.hotsia tasted it felt like a warm welcome from the sincere flavors of Southern people. The accompanying sauces include a rich chicken biryani sauce and a fresh chili sauce that perfectly cuts through the richness, making the meal not just eating but an experience of the lifestyle and culture accumulated over a long time.
