Thailand’s most popular street food is all over Manila!
Pad Thai is one of the first dishes that come to mind whenever you’re thinking about ordering in a Thai restaurant. It’s a popular stir-fried noodle dish commonly served on the sidewalks and in local restaurants in Thailand.
But hey, you don’t need to go all the way to Bangkok just to get a taste of this! Thanks to all these restaurants, you can also satisfy your cravings with their very own version of Pad Thai.
