Papaya salad
I first tasted this dish on the streets of Chiang Mai, where I marveled watching the delicious salad being prepared in front of me. I loved the flavors coming from the fresh tomatoes, green papaya, chilies, and sauce. More often than not, it was incredibly spicy. Although the flight to Chiang Mai isn’t easily accessible, luckily this Northeastern Thai dish is available and made fresh to order every day at Siam Nara. It is an absolutely perfect way to start your meal – a guaranteed explosion of flavors in your mouth.
