On the other hand, as a Thai food lover, I can honestly say I've never had Pad Thai that either tasted the same or was even prepared the same between restaurants.
Whole peanuts, halves, crushed, peanut butter? Mixed in or on top? Egg or no egg. Same with cilantro. How wide of noodles? Etc.
I try not to be picky so just ask for Pad Thai, Thai spicy. Usually good, but definitely not consistent.
A chain like say, Applebees will at least give consistently OK food that tastes about the same across restaurants, IMO.
- monkeybutton 4y agoI once got a Pad Thai with crushed cashews and a tomato based sauce. It tasted like blasphemy.
- silisili 4y agoUgh, that sounds awful. I absolutely hate tomato based. If it's red, it had better be from stirring in too much chili oil! I noticed the good places slice up fresh chilis and mix them in well. The bad places just dump some red pepper flakes on top at the end.
