                     THE MEANING AND ORIGIN OF PAD THAI
             Pad Thai is Thailand’s national dish and a true culinary symbol of the country. Its fame extends far beyond Thailand's borders, and for many travelers, tasting Pad Thai is an essential part of their journey. The dish has its roots in Chinese-style stir-fried noodles, once called "kuay teow pad". Later, it was renamed Pad Thai to reflect a more distinctly Thai identity.

             The flavor profile of Pad Thai is a perfect balance of sour, sweet, salty, and spicy—representing the essence of Thai taste.
