I had a bowl of the “Lapats’s Special Noodle” ($9.95), described on the menu as “Sliced Pork, Ground Pork And Fish Ball In House Special Pork Bone Soup.” This dish resembled the Vietnamese dish hu tieu nam vang, which also has a pork broth and similar toppings, but came without shrimp and had the addition of a smooth-textured pork patty on top. Maybe this is the Thai version.
It was good. Nice broth, maybe a little high in the noodles+toppings to broth ratio, although this may be typical in Thai noodle soups? With the number of hu tieu options in the general vicinity may not rush to have this again soon though.
