Mae Sai (แม่สาย), a small noodle shop in the city of Chiang Mai (เชียงใหม่) and named after the northernmost town of Thailand in Chiang Rai (เชียงราย) Province, has earned itself a Michelin Star by preparing and serving a typical northern Thai dish known as khao soi (ข้าวซอย) which consists of thin flat egg noodles that are poured with a curry-like broth served with chicken, beef or pork and topped with the same noodles fried crisp, some small red onion slivers and cuts of pickled Chinese lettuce. Fresh lemon and nahm phrik phao, a sauce of dried chilies fried in oil are used to spice up the dish. 回
