One of the first things that I order when we eat out at Thai restaurant is Pad Thai. This is my attempt to bring the flavors of the delicious noodles dish which happens to be the National food of Thailand. mycookingjourney/2014/02/pad-thai-national-dish-of-thailand.html A little history about Pad Thai - Pad Thai did not exist before the 1940’s. Its birth and popularity came as a result of National campaign done by field marshal Plaek Pibulsongkram who enabled Thailand to come out of Monarchy. He established this dish as a sign of patriotism and he established that whoever ate this dish were patriotic. He promoted the nation to eat more of the Pad Thai and encouraged street vendors to sell them at a very affordable cost. Making it affordable for everyone to eat drove more people to eat and sell this dish and this way he also promoted rice exports of the country. Ever since then, Pad Thai has become a National dish of the country.
