Confirming the Rumor of Ladna in Bangkok Chinatown! Crunchy Grilled Rice Cake
Rad Na
ThailandBangkok, Krua Porn La Mai
- Food Travel Log
- Heard rumors about an amazing rat na (noodle with gravy) near Bangkok's Chinatown, so I had to investigate. I ordered, but it wasn’t noodles—it was crispy rice! And it was the perfect choice. The crispy, chewy rice cake with the delicious gravy sauce made my beer disappear. The rumors were true. Incidentally, the rumor about a drunk guy taking cheerful selfies was also true.

- Raat Na is a traditional Thai dish influenced by Chinese cuisine. It typically features Chinese or rice noodles with a thick gravy-like sauce, topped with various meats and vegetables. However, the version using crispy rice tried at Krua Porn La Mai is particularly popular for its roasted flavor and texture. Near Bangkok's Chinatown, you can enjoy such unique variations, where diverse culinary cultures intersect. Incidentally, the drunk person jovially taking selfies at that location during the day was actually the author themselves, who later looked back at the blog post thinking, "What was I doing...?" It's a memory from the trip that brings a small laugh.
