When Dad is the best cook in the family, it sure is a good idea to put his recipe on the menu.
At Fish Cheeks in SoHo, brothers Chat and Ohm Suansilphong celebrate the dishes they grew up eating in Thailand. Noi’s Fried Chicken is named after their father, who owned a restaurant in Thailand and taught them how to cook from the time they were 7 years old. The chicken pieces are crackling crisp after a double deep-frying treatment. A seasoning of lemongrass, garlic, cilantro, white pepper, and soy sauce, coupled with a generous pile of fried shallots on top, make them especially moreish ($12).
