If you love Singapore Noodles, you have to try our latest noodle special at Rachada Thai Cuisine.
Singapore noodles have become a very popular Asian noodle dish, especially here in the US. You might think that Singapore Noodles originate from Singapore. But the truth is, you’ll very likely have difficulty finding this dish anywhere in Singapore.
This popular noodle recipe was actually created by chefs in Hong Kong and Singapore Noodles commonly appear on the menus of many eateries all over Hong Kong.
Singapore noodles are typically made with stir-fried rice vermicelli noodles (thin rice noodles) and the curry flavoring makes this dish distinctive. There are quite a few varieties of this noodle dish, sometimes accompanied with shrimp, beef or small slices of chicken. And Singapore Noodles can be served as a vegetarian dish without any meat as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Kaffir lime (makrut) is a distinctively fragrant citrus fruit that adds a truly unique flavor to Thai cooking.
There really is no other citrus substitute that can replace the distinctive flavor of the Kaffir lime.
Surprisingly, the juice of the Kaffir lime is not actually used that often in Thai dishes. Rather, the Kaffir leaves (bai magrood) and the zest of the Kaffir lime peel (pew magrood) are the more commonly used parts of the fruit that introduce the unmistakable and unique essence to many Thai dishes.
