Dimulai dari Tom Yum Goong kemaren, hari ini gue bikin Pad Thai. Apaan sih Pad Thai? Gimana bentuknya yah?? Ternyataaaa.......Pad Thai tuh mie goreng-nya Thailand......welehhhhh mie goreng tohhhh, kirain apaan.....weitsssssss........nanti dulu jangan anggep enteng, soalnya mie goreng thailand ini rasanya beda banget ama mie goreng yang biasa kita makan. Buat yang suka asem, gue rekomen untuk nyoba mie goreng Thailand, tapiiii kalo yang ga suka asem, yaaaa bole aja sih kalo mo nyoba juga :)....hehehehheehe...... Kalo gue yang emang doyan asem pedes sih suka banget ama Pad Thai. Selain rasanya sedikit asam, juga ada crunchy2 nya karena ada taburan kacang yang dicincang kasar. Pokoknya enak dehhhh.....
