Lao papaya salad differs from the Thai version due to the addition of crab stock. I couldn’t detect much of the crab though. Tasted quite similar to the Thai version imo.

Colourful and visually appealing but I don’t taste any rempah in the chicken.

Mint, coriander and spring onion are key in this local salad. Tossed in a sweet creamy dressing and topped with crushed peanuts.
