Spicy fruit salad is kinda common here. Whatever kinds of fruits you like, with lots of fish sauce (yes! I said it, fish sauce), melted palm sugar, chili flakes, fresh chilis, red onions, and deep fried little shrimps or fish. All that gives you the flavor that's called '3-flavor taste' where you get sour, sweet and salty.
Thai old-school pomelo salad
The other day at a beach fest, they featured this Thai old-school pomelo salad. I know I just said that fruit salad is kinda common but this exact old-school pomelo saladItalic. Not many people sell it so, since the even is to feature all the Thai traditions, Thai food and Thai culture, pomelo was one of the highlights there.
Just the same 3-flavor taste plus the spiciness of the chilis. The pomelo makes it real refreshing. The banana leaves folded & used as a little bowl also looks so Thai.
This is the real perfect snack in a hot day or served as an appy before the meal would a great meal starter.
Spicy Fruit salad buffet (in a bowl)
You're sure used to the word 'buffet' but that's normally when you can eat whatever for how much ever to fill your stomach. This fruit salad buffet, even though with the word 'buffet', it works a little differently. This one, you eat whatever fruits for whatever amount you'd like but not more than a size of bowl you choose.
The other day, I also saw this same business model in the TV. People can pick as many kinds of fruits to fill any size of bowl they choose. The shop will take all those fruit pieces, toss it in a bowl with a choice sauce you prefer. Mostly sweet, sour, salty and of course, spicy...
It's a win-win bowl. We as a consumer, get more variety of fruits in one bowl. Them, as a business owner, can charge a little more for the fruit because they offer more varieties and also have it ready to eat. That's quite convenient for us both, don't you agree?
I went with the small size, 60THB or roughly a little less than $2. I picked really more than 10+ kinds of fruits. Those were already chopped up ready to be eaten. Once done picking, hand the bowl back and they will toss them all together with their secret sauce (of course, contains fish sauce, that's what makes it umami!) Served in a bigger bowl with some crispy small fish on top.
Totally one of the most refreshing & nutritious snacks I know of!
Looks very good and fresh π ππππ₯ now you need good fresh drink also πππ

Sounds like a really interesting combination. I wouldn't have thought of pairing fruits with fish and spices. Would love to give it a go.
