Som Tom is a favorite food in Thailand. They serve it at most of the dinners at my Thai friends’ house and this is one of those times.
This week I have been posting about food I don’t like and this another dish I am not fond of. It is very spicy and the ingredients are barely cooked if at all. The normal cooking method is bashing everything together in with a mortar and pestle.
Seafood is included and tasted very fishy to me if I get get past the spiciness.
Sometimes I may see a shrimp in here, and if I do, I pick it out and go throw it on the grill. Once the shrimp is cooked it is wonderful and I do not know how anyone eats them raw. The version here has raw squid. Oh no!
My post is for this week’s foodphotography @photocontest by @juliank. I use a Canon ELPH160 point and shoot camera for my photos.

Lol, its Som Tam....its basically a simple papaya salad with dried brown shrimp thrown in but they often use various seafoods to get the saltiness, normally I see it with little whole crabs in.
The more its pounded, the spicier it becomes so get them to pound itmless and leave the chillies as whole as possible.
TBH I cook quite well a lot of Thai foods but I really don't like it as I dont really eat meat and never eat seafood lol
I didn't know that about it getting more spicy with the pounding. I don't really like anything about this dish, so I will leave them to it lol. I love seafood and I eat as much meat as I can when I can get it. I'm not cooking much at all now since I can only boil water here. But I have been eating pretty good most of the time. Soon I will be in Malaysia, so it will be a whole new world of food.
Ahhh you're moving to Malaysia ? good luck with that. Whereabouts in Malaysia ? I must confess its not my favourite place in the world but the food is great :-) when you going ?
I plan for KL - but I'm not sure and I am making plans now. My visa is done Aug 1, so that will be the day. I have been there twice and enjoyed my time there, so I hope it will be a good stop.
The food was the only thing I had trouble with, so I hope for the best :)
MacDs is so cheap there, they have happy hour between about 1 and 5pm lol....of course, theres no pork anywhere!
How are rental prices there please compared to Bangkok ?
ohhh look delicious
I think it is for most people, but it is just not to my taste :)

Som tum is one of my favorite. Whenever I am visiting my parents in Bangkok I pretty much get my som um fix for the year. For me if it's not spicy, it does not taste right but I like my version pretty boring. Just the basic without the crabs or raw seafood. Thanks for sharing your photo, it sure does look spicy!
