You can get Green Papaya Salad all over SE Asia, but one of the best I had was off a street vendor in Phuket. The vendor grates the papaya in front of you and then chops up chilies and other delicious goodies before mashing them all together in a bowl. What comes out is a refreshing , spicy (tell them how you like it), juicy salad. A good sidedish or a light snack.
Pros: refreshing, healthy, lite
Cons: can be too spicy
Rating: 3/4
Details: street vendors, restaurants
