Pad Thai In Local Street, Pattaya

Back to my Bangkok trip (seems like endless, right).. we went to Pattaya for a day trip and during dinner, we requested to eat Pad Thai.   And our Bangkok tour guide took us to a local road side stall to taste this authentic Pad Thai...

Ok, what is Pad Thai?  It is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at local eateries in Thailand.  Here are some pictures I took while we were waiting to be served....
Along the road in Pattaya, our tour guide parked his van and told us to alight...
He told us that this was his favourite Pad Thai stall....
 Quite popular among the locals....
Obediently we quickly took our seats and let our tour guide did all the ordering....
Immediately after we sat down, a few plates of the above were laid on our table...
"Hey, what's this for?  Raw eating?"   Yumsssss...
Leaving the raw materials aside, I went to "steal recipe...."  hahaha....
hmmmm....very busy at the wok....
 Lots of shrimps..... best!
Finally our food came....
From left, our tour guide and driver.... 
See the plates of raw vegetables?
Those were supposed to be taken with Pad Thai...
Introducing .... PAD THAI WITH SHRIMPS...
For those allergic to seafood, this is another option.... 
Crispy fried lard with BBQ meat (char siew)
So how's the taste?
Well, I wouldn't mind having Pad Thai again..
The taste is totally different... and he Lard is really someting! :)

  6. Char kway teow, rite.Looks good. From the look and colour of the char siew, it gives the impression of imitation ones.
