<\/p>\n
It is typically served with peeled prawns and bean sprouts. It leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste.This dish feels fairly light, but in fact fills you up nicely. Always a great choice for lunch or dinner.
\nEasy to find on the streets of Bangkok.<\/p>\n

Bangkok Must Eat #2: \u00a0Papaya Salad (Som Tam)<\/strong><\/h3>\nShredded unripe papaya in a mixture of sweet, sour, spicy and tangy flavours – with a crunch.
