Pad Thai

You would hardly believe the convoluted story behind the most popular of Thailand’s street cuisines. It starts with political affiliations, ties to national unification, ambiguous and contested beginnings and finishing in the forefront. Seriously! And who could resist? From the fragrant calls of a hot-fired wok working a night market stall or an up market restaurant; it’s just packed with sensory delights that result in one of the most popular and flavoursome meals Thailand has on offer.
