Recently, I went on a holiday to Bangkok, Thailand where I got to taste many of their local delicacies. Almost every street is crowded with food vendors, selling a variety of snacks at very cheap prices. Although hygiene is an important concern when it comes to street food, I am sure there are many daredevils out there like me, who simply cannot miss this opportunity to try them.
Out of everything that I have tried, the famous Papaya Salad aka Som Tam is the one that I found most suit my liking. Although it was a hard decision-making process, the Papaya Salad stands out from the rest because it is a mixture of sweetness, saltiness, sourness and spiciness.
Upon ordering, you can request if you want to add chili or not so do not worry if you cannot take spicy food! Most of the vendors will let you taste the sauce of the Papaya Salad before they serve you, so you get to decide if the taste is just right for you!
So next time you visit Thailand, do not forget to try out this unique dish or alternatively, you can make your very own Thai Papaya Salad. Do comment and recommend your favorite Thai food for us to review. For now, Ciao~
