One of the most popular dishes on street food vendors is “Stir-fried
Crispy Pork with chilies and holy basil" In Thai called "Phad Krapaow Mou Krob". (Please follow the link for see how to make crispy pork) There are any versions such as minced pork, chicken, beef, Shrimp, Squid,
Seafood, Preserved Egg etc.. There are no so hot and you can ask for more or
less chili and It is served on hot streamed rice and most of the time we loved to topped
with a fried egg. Though usually you have to ask for this "khai dow" and you will have to pay extra
about 5-10 THB. Without the fried egg,
you might still be able to find this dish for 30-40 baht..but this price is not
for the Patong Beach. ;P
