“The hot weather is not so bad after all because you get to enjoy the Royal Osha’s annual Khao Chae. It’s both delicious and beautifully presented. Absolutely amazing! Everyone who tries it falls in love. The preserved rice water here is extraordinary, sourced from Iceland with a pH of 8.8. It’s available only until the end of this month, or you can order a delivery set for someone special. They even provide pictures for your enjoyment. It’s truly delightful!”

“Feeling the heat this hot season? Well, why not cool down with Royal Ocha’s Khao Chae Takeaway Set? It comes in this nice red gift box.
Inside, you’ve got this fragrant jasmine rice floating in this super refreshing Thai flower-scented water, and it’s all served up with 7 really delicious condiments.

“Royal Osha is like the ultimate Thai food experience! Their Palace-style Khao Chae is so good, especially on those scorching hot days when you just need something refreshing.
If you’re thinking of spending Songkran there, let me tell you, it’s fancy! The place itself is gorgeous, with this grand staircase all golden and a chandelier right in the middle shaped like a crown. And get this, they’ve been in the Michelin Guide for five years straight! So you can bet the food’s top-notch.
Their main deal is this Khao Chae called ‘Khao Chae Royal Osha,’ cooked up by Chef Wichit Mukura. It’s jasmine rice soaked in flower- scented water, served with a bunch of sides that they’ve put a ton of effort into. Shrimp paste balls, stuffed shallots, stuffed bell pepper with minced pork and shrimp, fried salted egg yolk, stir fried shredded pork with tamarind sauce, sweet stir fried black stingray and stir fried sweet preserved radish, all that good stuff, served with fancy veggies.
The rice is soft, they’ve got chilled water to sip on, and those side dishes, man, they hit the spot. And don’t even get me started on their desserts—ice cream and sweet Marian plum? Yes, please!
But it’s not just the Khao Chae; everything else they make is delicious too. Their Tom Yum Goong with big river prawns? Amazing. The Green Curry? Fragrant and tasty. And then there’s these wraps with Foie gras that are sweet, salty, sour, and smell like heaven with all those spices and flowers. Trust me, you gotta try it all!

“In this heat, Thais turn to Khao Chae for relief. The fragrant jasmine rice in flower-infused water paired with sweet and savory sides like shrimp paste balls, stuffed shallots, stuffed bell pepper with minced pork and shrimp, fried salted egg yolk, stir fried shredded pork with
tamarind sauce, sweet stir fried black stingray and stir fried sweet preserved radish complement each other perfectly. It’s a delicious and harmonious combination. If you haven’t experienced Khao Chae yet, you should definitely give it a try at @royaloshabangkok. Chef Wichit Mukura makes it incredibly tasty and satisfying.”

This summer, I got to experience Khao Chae at Royal Ocha for the first
time . I already knew Chef Vichit Mukura’s Khao Chae would be
amazing, based on my previous experiences with his cooking. The presentation was impressive, with dry ice adding a nice touch. But what really blew me away was the rice itself! Cooked with fragrant jasmine rice, it was just perfect and aromatic. Using Iceland Spring mineral water with a pH of 8.8 made it even more refreshing.
The 7 accompaniments for Khao Chae are absolutely delightful! You’ve got the full spread with shrimp paste balls, stuffed shallots, stuffed bell pepper with minced pork and shrimp, fried salted egg yolk, stir fried shredded pork with tamarind sauce(which is a unique touch), sweet stir fried black stingray and stir fried sweet preserved radish. Plus, there’s beautifully carved vegetables to complete the ensemble, topped off with fresh, refreshing slices of sweet Marian plums in syrup.

“Let me start by saying, I have never tried Khao Chae before, ever. So, this time, I tried the “Khao Chae Chao Wang Recipe by Chef Vichit” at Royal Osha restaurant, which was a first in my life. It was quite an experience, everything was meticulously prepared and detailed.
Personally, I liked the salted eggs and the stir-fried shredded pork. The pork had a slight spiciness from being stir-fried with tamarind sauce, which balanced the sweetness perfectly. Even though they were fried, every time I ate the accompaniments, I alternated with Khao Chae to cleanse my palate, making me ready for the next bite. It was truly enjoyable.
As for the rice, it was fragrant jasmine rice floating in Thai flower- scented water. Rose thought the aroma was exceptionally special, not overpowering at all. Another special thing was the water used by the restaurant, with a pH value of 8.8, which helped to enhance the scent of the jasmine flowers.
After finishing, we ended with a dessert of sweet Marian plum in syrup, Traditional Ice Cream Rosella Flavour and fresh coconut”

“Having Khao Chae at our regular spot at home every year, it’s convenient, beautiful, and delicious. @royaloshabangkok The presentation is superb from start to finish. The restaurant even got a Michelin star! I brought my mom along, and she was so pleased. This year, we started with sweet Mariam plum, which was refreshing and sweet. We especially loved the rice; it was individually separated, not dry and hard like some other places (my mom loved it so much). All the fried accompaniments were done perfectly, not oily at all, crispy every time. We particularly enjoyed the fried salted egg yolk, which had a nice texture. The stuffed shallot with dried fish was sweet and salty; my mom loved the stuffed bell pepper, saying the pork was excellent, unlike anywhere else, along with the black stingray.
The complimentary desserts were incredibly delicious! The intense ice cream wakes you up with every bite, we loved it so much. It’s like a wake-up call, especially with the pineapple and salted chili. We loved it!”

“@royaloshabangkok #TheUltimateKhaoChae!! From someone who’s never had Khao Chae before, this place is the real deal! Delicious to the
point of singing praises! Backed by a fine dining establishment
that’s been awarded the Michelin Guide for 5 consecutive years .
They even provide instructions on what to eat with what to make it taste good, and following them doesn’t disappoint. No wonder they’ve earned Michelin stars! 🤩 Truly delicious. I wish everyone could try it. Each dish is meticulously crafted, with flavors that are incredibly refined. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into them.”

“Whenever it’s Khao Chae season, I always think of
@royaloshabangkok as my first choice .
The highlight of Khao Chae here is the incredibly fragrant flower- scented water, served with all 7 traditional accompaniments: shrimp paste balls, stuffed shallots, stuffed bell pepper with minced pork and shrimp, fried salted egg yolk, stir fried shredded pork with tamarind sauce(which is a unique touch), sweet stir fried black stingray and stir fried sweet preserved radish, enjoyed with fresh vegetables.
One great thing about this place is that they provide a menu leaflet before the course starts, indicating which dish should be paired with
which condiment and vegetable to complement each other perfectly. This enhances the dining experience. And for desserts, they serve sweet
Marian plum in syrup, a refreshing end to the meal .”
