Manee Thia serves authentic Thai cuisine featuring many of the dishes listed in the CNN Travel Survey, including award-winning Pad Thai, which ranks among the world’s favorite Thai cuisine and is the national dish of Thailand.
Pad Thai is a stir-fried noodle dish made with rice noodles, eggs, tofu or shrimp, bean sprouts, peanuts, and a flavorful sauce made from tamarind, fish sauce, and palm sugar. It is often garnished with lime and chili flakes for an extra burst of flavor. Although Pad Thai is widely associated with Thai cuisine, it was popularized in the 20th century as part of a national campaign to promote Thai identity and reduce rice consumption during World War II.
