It’s a simple, easy lunch that originated in West Africa before gaining popularity in France. Le Poulet Braisé Bangkok is a delivery-only shop currently based in Nana serving up braised chicken with fun sauces and baguette sandwiches. 

 

Opening in May this year, the new spot serves an elegantly simple poulet braise (braised chicken) on a bed of rice with an array of creative sauces and fried banana. 

 

Simple it may be but it’s a fulsome lunch shedding light on an unappreciated dish. If you’re thinking “braised chicken on rice, big deal” then you should know that this dish is all about the sauce. 

 

Here you get four creatively designed homemade sauces and maggi. The white sauce is a sweet onion sauce to pair with the rice, a strong green sauce to slather on your chicken, and a tomato based sauce and chili sauce that pairs well with both. Also on the menu at this spot is their baguette sandwich, boasting the same chicken with lettuce. 

 

For now, this dish is available on Line and Grab, but the shop tells BK that they’ll be opening a permanent dine-in spot in the future so keep an eye out for more.
