Papaya Salad

Travelling to other countries is always interesting, in term of taking some challenges when it comes to ordering food.

Thailand is famous for their tom yam kung (sorry for the miss spelled) or for their chicken in pandan leaves.
But there are more in Thailand's culinary, tonite i try their papaya salad for my dinner. Yeah it is kinda light dinner, since i took heavy lunch (i eat rice with pork ... again!!!)

About this papaya salad, the way they prepare it looks like our Indonesian “asinan”, they put all of the ingredients in a pot, crazed it and serve it. The ingredient itself contains papaya slices, of course the name says so,mango slices (coz i taste something sour) ... small dried shrimps ... and small crabs. Oh yaa some vegetables too ... cucumber, tomato, and long beans (it is kacang panjang in bahasa). Since Thai food also famous for their spicy taste ... a lot chillies are included.

I cant eat spicy food basically .. my girlfriend knows this very well, but i learn to. This papaya salad, although really HOT for me ...i eat them all,if you see the attached photo .. i took it when a had a break ... drink a lot of water .. i really let my tounge burned! ! But, at the end i can finish it.

I told my girlfriend about what i ate, she warned me that i may make my stomach upset ... but yeah i took the risk, hoping i won’t have stomach problem tomorrow since i am planning to go to the warehouse tomorrow...even it is Saturday.

Now, i am in my apartment already ... need to take a bath and try to have some rest. Good night sayang, i know you have some parties on this Friday night .. so we talk tomorrow again or if you want to ring me ... please do

^.YO.^

See..because of your eagerness of consuming those papaya salad, you experienced stomach upset on saturday kan honey?

Take it easy on hot and spicy food, let your stomach get used to mild one first for a couple of days, then you can try the hot one..
