When it comes to flavor, Thai food is the best, especially som tum (papaya salad) and spicy yum salads. Today we're eating at Sian Tum, a fiery, zesty, top spot in Bang Yai.
As we said, if there's one food we Thais can't live without, it's som tum and spicy salads. The spicier the better, and tossed with good pla ra (fermented fish sauce), wow, you can't stop eating. Just imagining it makes your mouth water.
Today Meeting Point tried a well-known restaurant in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi. It's an Isan (northeastern Thai) restaurant that we can vouch for as one of the tastiest around. If you get the chance to try it, we bet many of you will come back for more. Just hearing "spicy som tum platter" and "crispy fried chicken" makes your stomach growl, right? Ready? Let's eat at Sian Tum.
Let's look at what Meeting Point tried.
Loaded seafood som tum platter
This is the standout dish everyone orders, the real star of the restaurant: the loaded seafood som tum platter. It's grand, impressive and great value. The tray is packed with loads of seafood, including oysters, cockles, mussels, blue crab, shrimp and salmon. We guarantee everything on the tray is fresh, and the som tum itself is fiery, zesty and delicious. You have to try this one; you'll be impressed.
Delicious fried chicken
As we said, where there's som tum, there has to be fried chicken, crispy with tender meat, or grilled pork neck to eat with sticky rice. The recipes here are seriously good. We kept saying how delicious it was while eating. Everything was tasty. The fried chicken comes hot with dipping sauce, the skin is truly crispy and the meat is soft and tender. It was so good we felt we had to order lots of dishes to try.
Spicy salmon with lotus shoots
Another dish you have to order. You won't be disappointed by the restaurant's punchy salad dressing. It's super spicy and zesty, and the salmon is very fresh, not fishy, cut into bite-sized pieces. Eaten with lotus shoots, it's a perfect match. If you come, order it, or you'll miss out on another delicious, fiery dish.
So what do you think of the dishes Meeting Point brought you today? Wow, so spicy and satisfying, just looking at the photos makes you drool. If you don't want to miss out on these bold, unique flavors, we recommend Sian Tum Bang Yai. You'll love it.
