Mi krop
Mi krop is a Thai dish. The name means "crisp noodles". It is made with rice noodles and a sauce that is predominantly sweet but can be balanced with an acidic flavor, usually lemon or lime. The sour/citrus flavor prominent in this dish often comes from the peel of a Thai citrus fruit called som sa.
The dish has a legend, when King Rama V visited the people by boat in the Talad Phlu area and smell the noodles that a Chinese immigrant named "Chin Li" stir-frying at that time. He stopped the boat, ate it, and very much liked it. This led to the dish receiving another name: Mi krop ror ha.
There are two notable restaurants in Mi krop of Bangkok viz Talat Phlu in Thon Buri side and Phra Nakhon near the Giant Swing and [|Bangkok City Hall], both are old recipes from the reign of King Rama V.
