Wow! Looks so yummy! "Phad Thai" is one of Thailand's national dishes. Actually, it has become very popular
during the World War II when our former Prime Minister declared it a national dish to
promote Thai rice. Actually, the noodle is made of rice, so we call it "Rice Noodle" or "Sen Jan" in Thai.
