When he complained to me, I didn’t know what else to tell him. I had no answer. Most non-Chinese food found in Changzhou can easily seem inauthentic. For example, just the majority of pizza places here are extremely underwhelming to Americans and Italians. At the time, the Thai places I knew of wouldn’t satisfy his high standards. Yet, I think I now have an answer for him: Sawadee Boat Noodles. They offer something their competition lacks.

This is a unique dish that offers thin noodles and a choice of pork, beef, or seafood. Boat noodles got their name in Thailand for an obvious reason: they were made on and sold from boats. Since they were first created in 1942, some vendors have gone ashore and now they are sold on land. As for China, they are not a readily common thing. Shanghai has a place selling them, and now, so does Changzhou. Sawadee offers both spicy and “clear” versions of these soups. These versions do not extend to the solid ingredients, per se, but to flavor of the base broth. There are three basic selections: beef, pork, and seafood. It should be noted that the seafood option doesn’t have a spicy version. The owner said she didn’t want to overly complicate the flavors the squid and shellfish bring the dish.[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]各式各样的咖喱在常州应该很好找，但是船面不多见。这是一种泰国很流行的街头小吃，它主要是一种细米粉，然后你可以选择加猪肉牛肉或者海鲜。通过名字不难猜到，最早在1942年的时候，他们主要在船上制作和售卖，但是现在很多摊贩已经在泰国很多街边路上售卖。船面在中国不是很普遍，在上海有，在常州，你也可以品尝到了。这家船面店提供辣汤和清汤两种选择，至于添加料，你可以选择猪肉、牛肉和海鲜。老板也特别强调海鲜不建议辣汤，因为不想掩盖鱿鱼贝类这些海鲜带来的鲜味。[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]The spicy broth, while very delicious, doesn’t pack the heat the same way their papaya salad does. This is a dish where the papaya is shredded into thin strands. Chili peppers are mixed in, and the first couple bites bite back, a little. But, the heat is a slow build in intensity, where all of a sudden, a quarter of your way through this dish, your mouth is suddenly on fire, tears are streaming from your eyes, and your sinuses are suddenly cleared. But that’s just me, and I am just a mere chili pepper weakling. Sawadee’s owner pointed out how Laotian college exchange students from Wujin always ask for more chili. The basic serving with this dish is not hot enough for them.[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]辣汤非常鲜美，但是辣度跟他们的木瓜沙拉还是不能匹敌。这道经典菜是将木瓜切成细丝，然后加入尖椒，刚开始的几口还没感觉到辣度，慢慢你会发现，你口腔感觉要喷火，眼睛湿润，鼻腔也顿时通畅，对于我这样不怎么能吃辣的人来说是这样的一种体验。老板说武进的老挝交换生来这里还经常要加辣，正常的辣度对他们来说都不够。[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text][Modula id=’106′][/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]While Thai food can be known for some of its spiciness, not everything here fits that flavor profile. Sawadee’s larb moo is beautifully simple. It’s a mixture of seasoned ground pork and onions served with rice. There are also some general appetizers, and some of these may be friendly to parents of finicky, picky-eating children. The menu features chicken wings as well as fried chicken shaped like onion rings. Two of the desserts are also simple but good. They have jackfruit halves stuffed with rice. For those new to this fruit, it tastes a lot like a mango, but less juicy. Sawadee’s coconut pudding is also simple comfort. There are specialty drinks like a highly authentic Thai styled milk tea, as well as a chilled floral tea that changes color once fresh lime is squeezed in. There is also a lemongrass-based drink.[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]当然泰国食物在很多人印象里是辣的，也有很多菜品其实不然。萨瓦迪的这道生肉沙拉就非常的简单和经典。用调味过的肉沫和洋葱搅拌并配上米饭，食材不复杂，口感却很棒。他们还有很多其他的开胃菜，有非常适合那些即使是挑食的小朋友的家庭。他们有炸鸡翅也有形状像洋葱圈的炸鸡肉。2道甜点也很简单和美味，菠萝蜜糯米饭，对于没有吃过菠萝蜜的朋友，它口味近似芒果，但是没有那么多汁水。芒果布丁也是很可口。饮品方面，他们有经典的泰式奶茶，他们的花茶更是只要加入新鲜的青柠汁就会变色。除了这些，他们也有一款柠檬草口味的饮品供你选择。[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]For the most part, the menu is relatively simple. Yet, it chooses to focus on what Changzhou’s other Thai places do not highlight or showcase. There is one more important thing to keep in mind. Yes, the food is very delicious here, but the even greater thing is the price. Sawadee is a very cheap place to eat. When compared to all of the other Thai places in town, this is a very affordable place to find a satisfying lunch.[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]他们的菜单很精简，但是却有很多在其他泰式餐厅吃不到或者没有特别推的菜品，在这里都可以品尝到。更值得一提的是这家店的性价比非常高，如果在犹豫午餐吃什么，这里绝对是值得一试。[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-justify”]Sawadee Boat Noodles is located near Nandajie. It’s part of the greater Laimeng complex. However, it’s on a side street. Laimeng is a huge place, and McDonald’s can serve as a point of reference. It’s not a far walk from there or from the bar street. But, it’s not part of the shopping center’s interior.
