WHERE TO EAT The best Pad Thai in the world (according to food experts)

"This pad thai strikes the perfect balance of the sweet, salty and sour flavours central to Thai cooking. While the original is excellent, the “superb” version, which comes wrapped in a whisper-thin omelette, is a dish that finally does the nation proud."

"This is one of the best places for Pad Thai - piping hot noodles cooked to perfect, boldly flavoured and with a distinctive smokiness from the charcoal stove."

"Another very positive aspect is that she serves her Pad Thai with the banana flower, an ingredients that really fits Pad Thai as it add a slight bitterness to the dish together with the Chinese spring onion. The dish is beautifully presented."

"A full menu of hearty Thai dishes like tomyum, pad Thai, green curry chicken… and the list goes on. Cheap and good local food sounds overused, but is just about right. We’d say Inter redefines ‘cheap and good local food’."

"Place where you can enjoy authentic Thai dishes in a comfortable and clean setting. Prices are slightly steeper – THB 180 for Pad Thai – than the usual restaurants, but what you get in return is classic Thai dishes that will never go wrong."

"Better was the classic pad Thai noodles, the noodles having nice texture though cooked right at the edge of verging into overcooked territory, the prawns with it tender."

"C&C’s Pad Thai Goong Sad was delicious. So this version is the Pad Thai was wrapped in egg. It looks so appetising specially when you open it and all the ingredient are popping out with goodness."

"The pad Thai was still pad Thai, but it was well-balanced in flavour and the addition of jumbo prawns made it a worthy add-on."

"Chef Nuit definitely knows her way around a pad thai. Her version has a nice balanced sweetness to it – quite addictive! I doubt you’ll be able to eat just a spoonful."

"Yet another must order during a thai meal, noodles were fried too long and ended up too soft as much as the flavours were wonderful."
