AMAZING
1st POMELO SALAD
Kompassion, Petaling Jaya
BRIEF: “Pomelo served with prawn, drizzled with our sweet & sour sauce & topped with chicken floss.” SOOT’S TAKE: Smaller than I expected (and seemingly devoid of chicken floss) but delicious nonetheless.
2nd YUM NASHI PEAR ยําลูกเพรปูนิ่ม
Khao Pla, Chatswood
BRIEF: “Nashi pear salad with crispy soft shell crab, coriander, shallot, roasted coconut, dried shrimp, chilli and lime juice.” SOOT’S TAKE: Refreshing yet chock full of flavor. Could not stop eating from this plate.
REALLY GOOD
3rd POMELO SALAD WITH ROASTED COCONUT AND PEANUT
La Moon Thai Restaurant, Kuala Lumpur
BRIEF: “Thai pomelo with yuzu lime vinaigrette.” SOOT’S TAKE: Something different. And nice! For once!
4th YUM SOM-O | THAI POMELO SALAD
Nok Yung Thai Cuisine, Kuala Lumpur

PRETTY GOOD

7th 青木瓜沙拉 PAPAYA SALAD
Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre, Singapore
From the KIN KHAO YANG stall. Vvvv spicy 🌶🌶🌶
8th MANGO SALAD W/ DRIED SHRIMPS
Royal Thai Restaurant, Singapore
Very tasty. Did not set my mouth on fire (which was a huge plus) but would’ve been enhanced by a tad bit of burn nonetheless.
JUST OK
10th THAI MANGO SALAD
The Spice Kitchen, Johor Bahru
“Fresh shredded raw mango with Thai herbs, tamarind pulp and red sugar” I wonder if no one was ordering mango salad for a while and by the time this sucker (yours truly) came around, and decided to order a Thai dish at a north Indian resto, those 🥭🥭 🥭 had ripened and...😑
