21. Pad Ga Pow Moo Kai Dow
If a local Thai doesn't know what to order, it almost certainly comes down to pad ga pow. A stir-fried dish that can be trusted to turn out delicious and satisfying every time and at almost every eatery.
Chicken, pork or minced meat is stir fried in oil with garlic, chilies, small green vegetables like green beans and the vibrant basil that gives the dish its flavor.
It's fashionable to eat it over a pile of rice accompanied by a fried egg. Neighborhood eateries tend to serve the best pad ga pow, though it's available almost anywhere.
