Reminder: Today, Kun corrected me - we say NOD the head. Thanks for correcting! Another common mistake is "one year once", which should be ONCE A YEAR. Only Chinese-educated people will make these mistakes, due to direct translation from the beautiful language :)
On 28 Jan 2008, the local Thai girl, Love, brought us to taste Lanna Noodle after the Safari tour.
The Lanna Noodle mentioned by her, is actually the Khow Soi, which is known as curry noodle soup by foreigners.
Lanna was a kingdom in northern Thailand since 1259. Sometimes it's also referred to as "Lanna Thai".
As we know, the northern part of Thailand stretches up to the Mekong river, as well as the border of Loas and Myanmar (Burma). It is known as Lanna (ล้านนา), which means "one million rice fields".
In 1262, the King Mengrai founded the northern city of Chiang Rai, which then grew quickly. Later in 1296, Chiang Mai was established and the city wall was built.
The Lanna Kingdom had its heyday between the 13th-16th centuries, emcompassed all of northern Thailand and parts of the present Loas and Burma/Myanmar.
Similar to the Lanna alphabet, Lanna cuisine differs from that of modern Thai. Its sticky rice and pork sausages remain distinct from the cooking of southern Thai.
The Chiang Mai staple Khow Soi testifies to Lanna's hybrid origins, with its blend of Indian-style curry broth and crisp Chinese noodles.
However, Lanna made its greatest mark in art and architecture, so that the temples in the northern Thai are more modest than those in Bangkok. Perhaps we talk about this next time :)
Lastly, I'm not too sure of the price, coz someone else paid the bill, not me ^_^

This was the restaurant we went - Khow Soi Lamduan Faharm. I don't know what the last 2 words mean.
Truly local... by having NO ENGLISH at all on the menu.

We ordered tea, khow soi, as well as grilled pork.

Not only these, they came with quite a number of side ingredients...
You can add in what you want to the Khow Soi. I will normally squeeze all the lemons, but maybe not finish all salty veges and onions.

These came with the grilled pork. Quite similar to our satay, but there is no peanut in the sauce dip.

See the crispy noodles?
