Mama brand, instant pad kee mao
Mama makes a wide variety of popular instant noodles such as namtok and classic tom yum shrimp.
Mama kee mao is unique because you eat it "haeng" (or "dry", not as a soup). The noodles are thicker than traditional Mama noodles, and wavy.
Place the noodles in a bowl, add boiling water, let sit for 3 minutes then drain all of the water before adding the three different spice packets. Mix together and serve. Add a bit of cooked seafood and fresh basil if you'd like. The noodles are spicy and delicious. Kee mao means drunk in Thai language, and here is a kee mao recipe for the original, from scratch.
Ingredients: wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, salt, msg, garlic powder, basil leaf, bergamot leaf, chilli powder. Product of Thailand.

They are typically made with a good deal of spicy heat, and we like this dish served with a cold beer. We also offer instant kee mao.
Drunken Noodles and Chicken with Tofu, 'Gai Pad Kee Mao'
Kee mao dishes in Thailand are widely served as bar snacks in much the same way that Spanish bars serve tapas (and serve to make you thirsty, when used for this purpose).
