![]() ![]() Now, the question is which tribe of the Chinese brought this dish to Thailand. The Confusepedia, that popular online user-generated encyclopedia which ANYONE can add their knowledge or ignorance as they wish, has put a spin to the word by listing this dish as “Rat Na”…Ewwwwww…gross beyond belief, isn’t it? Even more ridiculous is they show “Rat na…often pronounced lat na as many Thais substitute the r for an l…” My recommendation is if you don’t really know what you are talking about, help people by withholding the urge to express, and at least keep your denseness to yourself, you know. So, I will be using only the correct word here. The official correct word is to be “Rad”, not Lad, as announced by the Royal Institute of Thailand (ราชบัณฑิตยสถาน). Rad (ราด)= to pour, or sometimes you will see it as Lad (ลาด) = to cover, to lay something over on a flat surface, and it has another double meaning as angled surface, too. The photo normally is not going to justify the taste. This is a dish that doesn’t photograph well at all. It’s a dish mostly prepared with big, fat rice noodles, Sen Yai (see the description in my “ all about noodles” post) and has a thick brown gravy with meat-either chicken, pork, beef or shrimp- and Chinese broccoli, called Gai Lan or Kai Lan, poured all over. You might not have any idea what I’m talking about. Rad Na isn’t as popular among the foreigners compared to Pad See Ew or Pad Kee Mao, even though the ingredients for Rad Na and Pad See Ew are quite similar. Anytime I stress out and I want to eat Guay Tiew Rad Na. I didn’t even have time to post pictures on my Instagram or my Facebook pages.Īnyhow, I will have to manage my time better so I can spare time to blog, which I love to do. I’ve been so busy with many things I can’t begin to list them. I have had an overwhelming response to my absence in blogging sorry about that. I hope you all had a great holiday season. ![]()
