Abalone Fried Rice at Pat Radna Moo Noom (พัฒน์ ราดหน้าหมูนุ่ม)

Pat Radna Moo Noom (พัฒน์ ราดหน้าหมูนุ่ม) might look just like an ordinary Thai Chinese restaurant for the outside, but it’s actually quite a gem of a restaurant. All details here - http://www.eatingthaifood.com/2014/09...

Pat Radna Moo Noom (พัฒน์ ราดหน้าหมูนุ่ม) is a restaurant in the Bang Kapi area of Bangkok, about 30 minutes or so from the center of the city. It’s an area I don’t know too well, but an area that’s full of wonderful local restaurants to be explored. One day, Ying and I were in the area, and we were hungry for lunch, so Ying had heard of this place, and we went to check it out. Pat Radna Moo Noom (พัฒน์ ราดหน้าหมูนุ่ม) is just a local neighborhood, sort of hole in the wall restaurant, that specializes in Thai Chinese food. But they don't’ just serve typical Thai Chinese food, they serve some really unique dishes, things I had never seen before on Thai menu, especially a Thai street food menu like this.

The first dish we ordered was khao pad kana bao heua (ข้าวผัดคะน้าเป๋าฮื้อ), Thai fried rice, stir fried with Chinese broccoli and what I think was abalone. This was the first dish I tried, and it actually proved to probably be my favorite dish of the meal as well. The rice was fried on an incredibly hot fire, so I could taste the slight burnt charred flavor. There was egg in it and also that beautiful broccoli and abalone. But the most interesting part of the fried rice, was that they had mixed in raw little dices of cucumber, which gave the entire dish a nice crunch and a freshness to it.

We also ordered radna pla dao si (ราดหน้าปลาเต้าซี่). Radna is a common Thai dish, made with wide rice noodles, covered in a thick gravy sauce usually made from pork and Chinese broccoli. Their version did use wide rice noodles, but the sauce was made from black bean sauce, and had pieces of fried fish in it, and also some small vegetables. It was very good, and with a splash of chili vinegar, it was even better.

Pla pad keun chai (ปลาผัดคึ่นฉ่าย), fish stir fried with celery, is a dish I often enjoy eating, especially when I go to any Thai Chinese restaurant. They didn’t disappoint at Pat Radna Moo Noom (พัฒน์ ราดหน้าหมูนุ่ม), the fish was fried and crispy, and it was stir fried with plenty of baby celery, ginger, and chilies - great flavor and nice dish.

And the final dish we ordered, something I had never before eaten in Thailand, especially at a street food restaurant like this, was nguong kway goong (โหวงก๊วยกุ้ง), a stir fry combination of shrimp, gingko nuts, jujube Chinese dates, and cashew nuts, all fried in a glaze of what I think was oyster sauce and soy sauce. It was a very interesting combo, but it was quite tasty.

Overall, a very good lunch, and I especially loved that abalone fried rice.
