Golden fried bags filled with chicken, shrimp, chestnut, corn and vermicelli noodles. Thai-style vegetable egg rolls served with sweet and sour sauce. Krua appetizer sampler, $11
Krua Thai, San Francisco

The gold bags were so cute!  Alan told me that they tie them closed with vermicelli noodles and they shrivel up once they’re deep fried.  Ingenious!  This is pretty much the same appetizer served two different ways – in bags and in rolls.  They were both very tasty!
