Mom and I wandered around the streets inside the city walls of Old Chiang Mai and came across The Rose House restaurant. The numerous plants and fountains were pleasant enough to lure us in. We had fried rice with chicken (my staple food over here—they make it less greasy than at home). The food was nothing special. It was reasonably priced, costing about $4 to $5 for the two if us. The ambience was enjoyable due to the profusion of foliage, fountains, and very interesting rustic folk-art chairs with very tall (over 5 feet) backs. We still like The Zest better.
