The great taste of this dish comes from the soya sauce, honey onion, garlic, chilies and pepper, and verities kind of vegetables like a carrot.
It heady spice because the red chili is mixed both with chicken and cashew nut.
If you can handle the heavy spicy food you can enjoy it most. But I suggested you try not to order it for your children.
If you ask my personal opinion, I must say that I have been traveled to Thailand several times in a different season. I also stay there long time couple of months and I have tried lots of street food, indoor food and also restaurants foods.
They are all amazing while each of them has its own style of taste. Keep in mind though, that visiting Thailand for short time will not allow you to try all the food there is to try there.
Getting a street food tour of Bangkok might help you try as many as possible.
Bon appetite.. 🙂
