Pad Thai
Rice Noodle dish from Thailand
Pad Thai was originally called "Kuai Tiao Pad Thai" but
this was later shortened to simply Pad Thai.
Kuai tiao (ก๋วยเตี๋ยว) is a Thai borrowing of the Teochew word guê2
diao5 (粿條),
a type of thick Chinese rice noodle also known as shahe fen.
The word kuai tiao has cognates in several other Southeast Asian
countries where Chinese immigrants settled
with kuyteav in Cambodia, hủ tiếu in Vietnam, and kway teow in Malaysia
and Singapore being analogues.
