(SPOT.ph) When you think of Thai food, pad thai is likely one of the first things that comes to mind—and for good reason. The stir-fried noodle dish hits the spot with its punchy and flavorful profile, and it's great with just about any kind of protein imaginable: Chicken, seafood, tofu, and so on. Even in its basic form, it's great—but we recently got to try a version that takes classic pad thai over the top with the addition of crispy, savory pieces of chicken skin. You read that right: Check out the Chicken Pad Thai that you can get from virtual food hall Off-Grid's newest concept (they've also got a dine-in stall at The Grid), The Pad by Samyan!

This tasty plate of pad thai is made all the more drool-inducing, thanks to the addition of chicken skin.

Also dubbed Pad Thai Gai, The Pad by Samyan's Chicken Pad Thai (P320/solo, P1,100/potluck) has al-dente noodles with a happy balance between savory, sweet, sour, and slightly spicy profiles—as is characteristic of any good Thai dish. (You can brighten the flavor further with a squeeze of the lime wedge included.) Adding even more taste and textural variety are meaty chicken pieces, crisp bean sprouts, scrambled egg, and crushed peanuts. And then there's the kicker—we're talking about the chicken skin, of course! Surprisingly, instead of making the dish overly indulgent, it adds just the right amount of saltiness and crackly crunch to amp up the mix without taking over.

Be sure to mix the noodles with the other components before digging in!

Into other proteins? The Pad by Samyan also makes other pad thai varieties—namely the Pad Thai Moo or Pork Pad Thai (P320/solo, P1,100/potluck), Pad Thai Gung or Shrimp Pad Thai (P380/solo, P1,200/potluck) Pad Thai Talay or Seafood Pad Thai (P420/solo, P1,300/potluck), and even the Pad Thai Pu or Crab Pad Thai (P590/solo, P2,200/potluck) with fried soft shell crab and lump crab. At the helm of The Pad by Samyan is Thai chef Thitid Tassanakajohn and The Grid's main resident Thai stall Samyan (which was recently awarded the Thai SELECT Casual Award!), so you can expect a lively, flavorful meal that'll transport you straight to Thailand at first bite.

The Pad by Samyan also makes pad thai with different kinds of seafood...
