My first stop when I arrived in Portland wasn’t our Bed & Breakfast, but this place! As a fan of SoCal food trucks, it was a must to stop for a bite at Portland’s famous Food carts, and I saw this in a food show, and other foodie friends of mine said it was a must try when I had to pick a food cart.Nong’s specializes in Thai style Hainan Chicken, which is a poached style of cooking chicken. The chicken is poached, and then the broth used to cook the chicken is also used to cook the rice. The chicken looks pale, and some may say it looks undercooked, but trust me, its tender, moist and melts in your mouth. Nong’s serves the chicken and rice in butcher paper, and with a dipping sauce. Traditionally the Hainan version is served with a ginger onion sauce, and / or a dark soy dipping sauce. Nong uses a Thai dipping sauce which I couldn’t put my finger on what the ingredients were, but it worked great with the chicken. In addition, you get a cup of chicken soup with some sort of asian squash. Talk about a complete meal for less than $9!The only thing which kept this from being a 5 star was the chicken wasn’t all that flavorful. It was moist and tender, but it lacked… something. I guess I’ve been eating too many Hainan chicken, and this just didn’t blow me away as I had wanted. Still, I’m a fan of this food cart. callmemochelle.com
Popular and famous. However, we came after the lunch crowd, and there was no line. The chicken and rice is pretty basic, but it just works so well. The chicken was tender and juicy, the sauce perfect, and the soup a nice chaser. I appreciated the postcard directions.
Very good food and equally good quantity. The lady in charge was pleasantly surprised to see myself- an Indian- enjoy the pork which I had with the steamed rice. The food is generously laced with oodles of garlic.
So simple and so good. I always have at least a meal at Nong’s whenever I’m in Portland. Truly sublime and delicious. Can’t wait to have it again!!
Wow!. Amazing! A must eat! Chicken and rice and sauce. Plus a Thai iced tea. Perfection. Went there twice and we’ll make a beeline there again.
Who knew chicken and rice could be THIS exquisite?
