YFC Yaowarat Fried Chicken in Bangkok Chinatown เจ้ปุ่นไก่ทอด (Japanese Fried Chicken)

I made my first trip to Thailand (in Hatyai) in 1981. One of the most memorable things from that trip was the taste of fried chicken leg from a street side stall. I can't remember how it actually tasted, but from that moment on, I must have a street side fried chicken leg every time I am in Thailand. It is one of my favourite foods ever since.
