Ok. I have a new list of Thai places that I must visit and sample their drunken noodle.
Dok Bua Thai Kitchen in Coolidge Corner
Sugar and Spice in Porter Square
9 Tastes in Harvard Square
Spice in Harvard Square
Who wants to come try them out with me?? I’m also always up for a trip to the king of all, Brown Sugar…
(Yes, I am trying to make drunken noodle one of the biggest tags)

In the past few weeks I have conducted a highly scientific study of Thai food in the Cambridge area, in particular, of the drunken noodle dish. I have come to the following conclusions:
Montien‘s drunken noodle wasn’t very spicy (at *all*), and lacked on noodle, actually. I think there were only 3 noodles in the dish.
Pepper Sky has the distinction of being the closest Thai to our apartment, and therefore the best for delivery. Unfortunately their drunken noodle kind of sucks, isn’t spicy and also has too many of those baby corns. I hate the baby corns.
Brown Sugar is edible heaven. Their drunken noodle is so spicy that they always warn you when you order it (half the time they try to convince you to get something else). I have searched for an alternative, since we no longer live in the Brown Sugar delivery area, but alas. We’ll have to just go out to eat.
That said, I’ll still eat it, wherever it comes from. Ok, I admit it. There’s no baby. That belly is entirely from tonight’s dinner.

I love drunken noodle. More than should be legal. I mean, I’ve always liked it, but not to the ‘must have multiple times in one week’ degree before. Oh, pregnancy, what can’t you do?
After reading the description in the menu I just ordered from (what do people who live in the country do? How do they get good Thai food delivered), it makes complete sense. I mean, is this not the description of something a pregnant woman would crave?
Drunken noodles were originally stir-fried by a singing drunkard to starve off midnight hunger. Ingredients previously thought to be incompatible were tossed into the wok, and volia! Drunken Noodle! Soft wide rice noodle fried with onion, basil, bell pepper, chili pepper, bamboo, tomato, and string bean. (And tofu, if you’re an Abby)
Plus it’s spicy as all hell. Three hot chili icons spicy. Sprout likes it so hot that it makes my eyes and nose run. I love it so much I dreamt about it last week (I also dreamt I was in a shoebox under the Golden Gate bridge, about to be overturned by a splashing whale, so I guess we take that with a grain of salt). I love it so much I’ve taken to randomly texting Sara while she’s busy at work to inform her that we’re having it again for dinner. And again. I love it so much that I blog about it while waiting for delivery.
