Somtum Der offers authentic Northern Thai Isan food but is most famous internationally for the Thai papaya salad best known locally as "somtum". Hence, it is without a doubt, that we ordered a two versions of the spicy papaya salad and other mains : · Tum Pla Dook Foo Crispy fluffy catfish on top served with spicy papaya salad. This is certainly a dish not to be missed. Super crispy fish and mixed with the spicy salad is simply divine. Tum Poo - Plara · Spicy papaya salad mixed with field crabs, peanuts, long bean, cherry tomato, lime, eggplant, dried shrimp and fermented fish dressing. Toss them together and add a little chilli powder for the additional zest. It's a must try if you have never eaten this with small crabs before. Moo Ping Kati Sod · Grilled marinated pork skewers deliciously glazed with coconut milk and served with steamed rice vermicelli and a special Thai 'Nam Jim Jiew' Spicy Dip. Their version is very flavourful and the dip makes it even more savoury. This is of course a better quality from the ones you get from the local street food carts around the night markets and street stalls. Moo Rong Hai Der · House Special Grilled Marinated Pork. Pork neck meat grilled to perfection with their own special spice blend and super tender and juicy. Nue Dad Dieo · Deep fried Sun-Dried Beef served with Sriracha Dip- a house special. Another dish you can try if you are still meat hungry lol. Other dishes worth trying include : Tub Tim Fish Meat Wrapped with Vegetables served with House Egg Sauce · Phad Thai - Stir fried flat rice noodles with shrimp, peanuts, scrambled egg, bean sprouts etc a traditional local street food staple and a personal favourite of mine. Thailand most famous street food fried noodles ! If you need some carbs, you can also order their glutinous brown sticky rice to fill your stomach together with the meat :) Lastly, finish the meal with drinks like the traditional Iced Thai Milk Tea, Iced Thai Lemon Tea and even a local Leo Beer ! Note : They also have another outlet in Thonglor, Sukhumvit if you stay near there instead. They also received a Michelin Star in 2016 for their outlet in New York, USA. Okay do pop by and tuck into a hearty, traditional Thai meal there ! #culturewalk #foodtrip
