Thread: Memory Lane (In my own language)

Khanom chin is made from rice flour that is left fermented for three days then boiled and after that, made into noodle shape by extruding the resulting dough through a sieve into boiling water. These noodles are used as a staple food in a variety of Thai dishes.

Although the word ‘chin’ means "Chinese" in Thai but this type of noodle is originated from the Mon people.
