The one bowl to order

Khao soi gai: the curry noodle soup with chicken leg, crisp noodles on top, pickled mustard and shallots on the side

The line to expect: Busy at lunch, and it closes in the early afternoon when the pot is empty. Beat it: 9 to 10:30am.

The khao soi bowl Chiang Mai sends visitors to, on MICHELIN's Bib Gourmand list; a curry broth that's coconut-rich but not sweet.
