Trivia
[Difference] Lacking glass noodles (Wun Sen), it focuses directly on the 'squid texture' and the 'strong Thai celery aroma', making it a specialized bar snack.
Eating tips & etiquette
Eaten while the squid is still slightly warm, not cold. The bouncy squid, crunchy celery, and intense tartness make beer disappear.
