  My favourite Pad Thai I had out of the many years and many trips across Thailand! Steak was tender and sauce was nice. On the expensive side for a simple meal at ~200 ฿ pp, but we were pleasantly surprised 😋

  I’m not a fan of Pad Thai but for some peculiar reason, I had a craving for it. Went to Pad Thai Chapaa (just off Asoke Montri Road). It popular for its Pad Thai topped with grilled pork neck but I went for the Prawn Pad Thai instead. Taste wise: Noodles: Excellent! Flavours were spot on to what I was craving for and overall had good “wok hei”. Texture was to my liking too. On the soft side (I generally don’t like pad Thai because I think the noodles are too chewy) and the cooking style here was to deliver the noodles on the “wet” side. The Prawns: Decent size but flavour was just OK. The marinade tasted good but merely coated the surface. The inside of the prawns were quite bland. Cost: On the high side for sure but I’m not sure if I’d say it was exorbitant at THB209 for the plate (S$8.10/RM25.50/US$6.30/VND165K/PHP386). This was a small hole in the wall shop lot restaurant, so should not be charging a premium for its ambience - perhaps a THB10 premium for the Air Conditioning. The size of the prawn was about 30% bigger than many other places. As a comparison, I believe other foodcourt type stalls will sell a similar dish (but with 50% smaller prawns) for about THB90-120. A non aircon restaurant would be charging around THB120-180 (20-30% smaller prawns). High end places would be charging around THB250-350 but with even larger prawns, perhaps 20-50% larger. Just my humble opinion and in the end, most importantly, I enjoyed my meal. 😊 #whiskydev #padthaï #bangkok #thailand #foodgasm

  Pad Thai had very strong wok hei taste, and the prawns were very fresh! Loved the steak! Just quite pricey

  I ordered tje pork pad Thai, pork is really good, pad thai for me it’s too soft and stick together, not my favorite. It’s very affordable though!

  We had the crab pad thai and prawn pad see ew. I was a little disappointed by the flavor and texture of the noodles - both were quite oily and the noodles were mushy and stuck together. The taste was not very flavorful, they could do better in terms of adding flavors to the noodles. The crab meat was very dry, the only star of the day was the perfectly cooked very plump prawns - delicious.
