@broadsheet_au: Hungry? This week on Tonight’s Noodle, resident expert Tri Nguyen (@tri015) is diving into a bowl of kway teow ruea – better known as Thai boat noodles. This iconic dish originated in the bustling canals of Bangkok and Ayutthaya, where vendors sold them from small boats on the water. The canals have mostly been replaced by concrete roads, but the tradition lives on. The star here is a deeply aromatic broth, slowly simmered with pork bones and over ten imported Thai herbs and spices. Yellow egg noodles turn a rich, glossy brown as they soak up the thick broth, acting as the perfect base for springy beef balls, tender braised beef, liver, tripe, and gelatinous tendon. 📍 Pinto Thai Food, 231 Exhibition Street, Melbourne #tonightsnoodle #noodles #Melbourne #melbournefood #thaifood #boatnoodles
