Is last night's Pad Thai good for my late beakfast/early lunch?

1. Looks perfect to me. I don't like breakfast food so I always eat lunch early.

2. That looks good enough

for the local art museum!

Enjoy your encore.

14. it's a Wikipedia pic from a street stall in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Phat Thai kung sot ("fresh" prawn phat Thai), costing 35 baht, from a street stall in the Chang Khien neighbourhood of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The kung sot ("fresh prawn" ) acts as a contrast to kung haeng ("dried prawns/shrimp" ). Dried shrimp should feature in every version of phat Thai except in the purely vegetarian variations.

15. It just so happens

that I was planning on stopping by Chiang Mai today, so I think I'll pay a visit to that street stall!



That's pretty fancy stuff for a street operator. eh Celerity?

3. Sure, it'll work!

Reheating rice noodles like in pad thai is not my favorite but it's decent. I think wheat-based noodles have a little better texture on reheating (rice noodles can get gummy and stuck together in my experience) but it's not a huge difference. Certainly not inedible, like reheating, say ... french fries is to me.

4. I would have it unequivocally

The faint of heart may shy away from savory dishes like that for breakfast, but I’ve always been an iconoclast when it comes to cuisine.

5. If you leave it out over night in a nice warm place the flavors will

really come alive the next day.

6. Extremely bad advice, obviously offered in a jocular fashion.

If that Pad Thai (one of God's genuine food gifts) was properly refrigerated overnight, toss it in the microwave and have a wonderful breakfast.

7. Wai not? n/t

8. Day old Pad Thai is great for lunch.

Just add more crushed peanuts for a bit of fresh " green" crunch to the dish; I find the day old nuts have been so incorporated into the sauce the taste and texture isn't as distinct as it was the night before.
I like the difference the peanuts make as much as I love the house tamarind sauce from our local family Thai/Cambodian restaurant.
They also make some kicking hot curries.

9. The same place also makes mee goreng too. That might be lunch.

BTW I love diversity ... I have some really good places close that have Thai, Malaysian, Mexican, Vietnamese,
and El Salvadorian food.

10. One of the reasons to stay in San Diego -

We have food -and markets - from everywhere here, Real Chinese dishes. A variety of Indian/Pakistani/Afghani/Nepalese restaurants that are specific to different regions. Persian, Turkish, Georgian and Ukrainian/Russian food. East, West, and sub-Saharan African restaurants.
Brazilian, Peruvian, Argentinian, Panamanian, Jamaican Restaurants. Philippine and Indonesian restaurants.
Not to mention a wide range of Central and European restaurants.
We even have a Central American place that serves crickets. All sorts of regional US food is available

I joke that the only food we can't get here is Tim Hortons...

11. San Diego when I was there had some world class Mexican too (no surprise)

I remember a little cinder block Mexican places in O.B. or P.B. that was amazing.

12. I knew that place, Don Jose's? It closed a decade or so when the owner died.

There's still a couple of the classics still open, and of course, there's all the 'Bertos still around with their huge burritos and variety of Cali-Mex and Baja or Oxacan extras, depending on the shift cooks.
We also have the best Shawarma place in the US, a food truck run by brothers.
Also some really great pizzas from everywhere in the US or the world.
And most pretty reasonably priced that also make sure they serve enough food for leftovers, specifically for people on a budget.
These local places know San Diego is expensive and giving customers basically a meal and a half or two meals for the price of one keeps people coming back.

If you're a gastronaut, one of the best places to be is here; our hole-in-the-wall and pop-up places are great.

13. It was kind of a low slung white cinder block building on a hill about 1 mile in from the ocean.

I remember they had good tostadas and a rice, black bean, and cilantro dish that I mixed with
some pico de gallo and had on chips. Pozole too. I will l always remember eating there and sitting
outside with a really cute girl from L.A. who was wild. The waiter called me gringo amigo and gave
me some marijuana.

My new go to place in Columbus.
