Thip Samai is a famous Michelin-starred restaurant with many special Pad Thai dishes. To create the impressive flavor, the restaurant has maintained the recipe to make these dishes for 84 years. In Thailand, you can find Pad Thai anywhere but the taste is definitely not comparable to Thip Samai.
Pad Thai has long been known as the “national dish” of Thailand, born during a difficult time for the country, when people had to mix all available ingredients into one dish. Basically, Pad Thai includes noodles, eggs, shrimp, bean sprouts and other vegetables. With Thip Samai, the unique sweet and sour flavor that is not too greasy and the sophistication and sophistication in the decoration of the dish are plus points that help attract diners.

Pad Thai Hor Kai Goong Sot (Pad Thai wrapped in thin egg omelet)
At Thip Samai, there are two dishes that are the restaurant's "best-sellers": Pad Thai Sen Jan Man Goong (Shrimp Pad Thai) and Pad Thai Hor Kai Goong Sot (Pad Thai wrapped in thinly sliced egg). In particular, you will be overwhelmed by the image of the chefs "dexterously" stir-frying Pad Thai on the pan. To create an impressive flavor, the chef uses a charcoal stove with a large and even fire, making the noodles more fragrant. The processing stoves are located right in front of the store with all the ingredients cooked hot. After the noodles absorb the flavor of the soy sauce and oil, the other ingredients are also prepared.
Not only enjoy the famous Pad Thai, when coming to Thip Samai, do not forget to order a bottle of squeezed orange juice with orange segments. The orange used is a sweet orange, with a characteristic yellow color, and when drunk, it has a cool, sweet taste. In the hot weather of Bangkok, enjoying a plate of Pad Thai with a glass of cool orange juice is an interesting experience in Thailand that you should not miss.
