If you’re craving authentic southern Thai street food during your stay in Ao Nang, Krabi, don’t miss Muafar Hat Yai Fried Chicken — a small, humble eatery with a heartwarming story and flavor that packs a punch.
Located right in front of 7-Eleven Nopparat Thara Branch, this fried chicken stall is run by Fern, a local woman who has been perfecting her craft for over 20 years, having started frying chicken when she was just nine years old.
Today, she not only fries up some of the best chicken in town — but she also speaks excellent English, thanks to her own dedication and learning with me in private language classes. She’s warm, welcoming, and always ready to serve with a smile.
🍖 What’s on the Menu?
Muafar offers a true taste of Hat Yai-style fried chicken, which is famous for its rich marinated flavor and crispy golden skin. Whether you like dark or white meat, you’re covered:
• Fried Chicken Thighs
• Drumsticks
• Wings
• Chicken Breast
• Even fried chicken livers and gizzards for the adventurous eater
Every portion is paired perfectly with a scoop of steamed sticky rice, generously topped with crispy fried shallots—an absolute southern Thai signature. The texture and aroma are irresistible.
But that’s not all. Fern also prepares:
• Red BBQ Chicken Rice (Khao Moo Daeng-style)
• Thai-style Chicken Biryani (Khao Mok Gai)
• Spicy Mama Noodle Seafood Salad — a fiery fusion of seafood and instant noodles that you can customize to your heat tolerance!
The food is not only delicious but affordable—you’ll be amazed at the portion size and quality for the price. It’s a local favorite, and once you try it, you’ll be hooked.
🌟 A Woman with Dreams and Determination
What makes this place even more special is the story behind it.
Fern isn’t just a fantastic cook. She’s also someone with big dreams. Besides running her food stall, she once trained and aspired to open her own luxury Thai spa in Ao Nang—and that dream still lives on in her heart.
Supporting her stall is supporting a local woman who’s spent her life building something from scratch, day by day, with courage and care. She is proof that passion and persistence can flavor life as beautifully as any spice.
