Noodle Soup, No Noodles
Noodle Soup Sign
Traveling in Thailand, it’s a real advantage to be able to read Thai, particularly at restaurants. When I was teaching myself how to read, I got a menu from one of our favorite restaurants – My Choice, in Bangkok – and learned how to read all the dishes. If nothing else, I could order food.
This sign is a good example of why. The second item down is “soup from a noodle shop without noodle.” In essence, noodle soup without the noodles. In Thai it would be called gao lao and is a perfectly good option – broth and the other items, just no noodles.

If you saw that sign it’d be hard to choose anything other than the 2nd item down just to see what it is!
