The khantoke dinner at Chiang Mai Cultural Center was a special memory from our trip to Chiang Mai. The service was friendly and the food was delightful. We recommend that you take a trip through Chiang Mai's past by experiencing ancient Chiang Mai dance, food and hospitality.
What is a Khantoke dinner? A Khantoke is a pedestal tray used as a small dining table that you can sit next to on the floor. Since earlier times, khantokes have been used as dining furntiure in a wedding party, a funeral party, a housewarming part, etc. The food served is Northern Thai food and can be anything. However, the regular food at The Old Chiang Mai consists of 1. fried chicken 2. Burnese pork curry 3. fried cabbage 4. pork tomato-chili paste (mildly hot) 5. fried pork skin (for dipping into the paste) 6. fresh cucumbers (also for dipping into the paste) 7. fried bananas 8. fried rice crisps as dessert. Two kinds to rice are also served; sticky rice (in bamboo baskets) and plain rice (Islamic and vegetarian food can also be ordered).
