Khao Pad: Thai fried rice

Khao Pad is the Thai take on fried rice. Base ingredients: jasmine rice, egg, garlic, onion, fish sauce, vegetables (usually tomato, spring onion). Served with a wedge of lime: the lime balances the flavour. Differs from Chinese fried rice mainly in seasoning (fish sauce vs. soy).

Methodology

The index is based on public sources: Wolt storefronts, restaurants' own websites, Google Maps ratings, Tripadvisor listings. Data collection date: 20 May 2026. Base version included (typically chicken, vegan when available). Prices include Wolt's delivery margin. Sample is 34 Thai restaurants in Helsinki; only restaurants where the dish appears as a main course are included. The value score combines rating and price index: same formula as the pad thai index.

Next release

The index is compiled annually. The summer 2027 release expands to 10 anchor dishes across six cities (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Tampere, Turku, Oulu).
