Reworking a perennial favorite, their Crispy Pad Thai ($8.95) was a scraggly nest of brittle threads strewn with shrimp, chicken, bean sprouts, scallions, egg and ground peanuts, sweet and sticky and sour, the whole inescapably recalling peanut butter (which, to me, is a good thing).

The total seems fewer than 300, but as Khao Sam Roi Yot is such a pleasant break from Bangkok, who's counting...
...Protestants were considered less threatening than Portugal's Catholic missionaries, the Chinese did business with the rest of the country through Nagasaki's port, though both groups were sequestered in one area of town. Nagasaki's traditional dish-a soup of thick Chinese noodles with bits of fresh fish, shrimp and pork called champon-originates here...
