Som Tum : Green Papaya Salad, as observed

Dsc01022We are guilty of clinging and attachment. In our efforts trying to manage post-holiday blues, or more aptly described, not wanting to face the mundane reality we’ve temporarily left, we try to talk about our holiday as often possible. To as many people possible. So if you actually see many different people, you’ve effectively prolonged your holiday mood.

Yes, my admission to such attachment and action come with guilty shame.

Sorry, back to the food. Som Tum was ‘Dish of the Day’ everyday in Thailand.

Day 1 : Some unmemorable cafe in Khao San Road, fresh out from the plane.

Day 2 : Bahn Khanitaa on Sukhumvit Soi 23

Day 3 : Sawasdee Restaurant opposite Hilton Hua Hin

Day 4 : Nongnat Seafood Restaurant (more like a shack) on Cha-Am beach

Day 5 : Anna’s Cafe on Saladaeng Road, Bangkok

Green Papaya Salad is just not imitated decently anywhere else out of Thailand.
