Noodles and hot-sour Thai soups
Phat khi mao noodles, tom yam and Isan-style tom saep offer three distinct ways into Thai dishes. Expect different uses of chilli, herbs and sourness rather than one standard spicy flavour.
Order phat khi mao for stir-fried noodles with chilli and holy basil. Tom yam is a hot-sour soup whose name may specify shrimp, seafood or chicken; tom saep is a northeastern hot-sour soup. The names help you choose a dish by preparation and main ingredient instead of relying on a broad English menu label.
What to look for
Phat khi mao combines stir-fried noodles, chilli and holy basil.
Tom yam can be named for shrimp, mixed seafood or chicken.
Tom saep is a hot-sour soup associated with northeastern Thailand.
