Or Spicy Papaya Salad in english, this dish is fresh, delicious and very, very spicy!
I love spicy food, or at least I think I do, but I cannot handle the level of spice Thai’s put in their spicy salads.
I’ve eaten a few during my time spent in Thailand and I always find they blow my head off. So be warned, even if you love spice be safe and order the salad farang style first time you have it. Ramp it up a level if you can handle it, but for the love of your tongue don’t go straight into a locals version.
The papaya salad, made with green papaya rather than orange (which I do not like, yuck!) has a sweet and strong citrus flavour that is supposed to balance out the spice. The dressing is the key to the salad for me and if it is not balanced well then the salad is just not the same.
We ate a few Som Tam in Thailand before I found one that had the perfect dressing, unfortunately for me it was just too spicy.
I got a bit cocky, we’d been in Thailand for weeks, I was always eating spicy food and I ordered Som Tam while chilling at the beach. The waiter asked me if I like it spicy and stupidly I answered that question yes
