Mee Krob Rad Na Ham (ก๋วยเตี๋ยวราดหน้าหมี่กรอบแฮม)



This is one of my favorite Thai dishes and its called Mee Krob Rad Na Ham or ราดหน้าหมี่กรอบแฮม in Thai. Mee krob literally means "crispy noodles", and Rad Na that literally means "pour over the face". It is made with rice noodles (thin vermicelli), gain lan (kai-lan: a Chinese Broccoli/Kale) pork, ham, and a saucy gravy made of stock and tapioca starch poured over it. This is a common dish served in most Thai restaurants but this one comes with a Ham topping, the first time I found this combination in a restaurant in Bangkok. I had this for dinner near The Old Siam shopping mall near Phahurat.
