Beef Pad See Ew from Ping Pong - $9.00

3322 North Broadway Street, Chicago, IL - (773)281-7575


Rice noodles are the friggin' bomb diggity, especially the fat ones. Drool.

If you've never had rice noodles, they're a more tender, doughy noodle than the standard spaghetti noodle. Anyway, these Thai noodles were mixed with broccoli, carrots, onions, and crush peanuts. Although the dish is pretty awesome, I couldn't detect anything unique about this particular recipe. Translation: if you find pad see ew somewhere else for cheaper, then go with that one.

Ping Pong gives you the option to substitute shrimp instead for $3 more, but those would have to be some monstrous shrimp to be worth $3 more.

Never seen this before. Doesn't look like noodles to me. There's a chinese dish that's similar to that look... flat square pieces of dough (same dough that you can use to make noodles with). But since this is Thai.... no, never seen this one.

pity... these rice noodles are awesome. i've seen this dish with longer noodles, but still usually wider than fettuccini noodles - perhaps about twice the width.
