"It’s debatable whether khao soi is soup, stew, or noodles, but we’re not interested in the semantics—we just want hot liquid in a bowl. The combination of coconut milk, curry, egg noodles, and a slight zing from lime makes E Jae Pak Mor’s khao soi the perfect thing when you're craving both soup and something that has creaminess and spice. Try the guay tiew gaeng, too, which uses rice noodles that soak up the curry like a water-expanding sea creature toy." - aimee rizzo
