Pad thai is among the most popular Thai street foods.

While getting a pad thai recipe on the internet is as easy as counting 1-2-3, cooking it right is a whole different story.

Fortunately, two Thai chefs from Millennium Hilton Bangkok hotel, Nauwarat Worabutr and Noorong Charornum, wanted to share some foolproof tips for cooking pad thai.

The two chefs will be showcasing the authentic Thai flavors in the Thaime food promotion at the DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta-Diponegoro hotel in Central Jakarta until March 11.

Furthermore, the duo suggested cooking it on a low heat.
