Papaya salad is hands down the best kind of salad. None of western type of salads comes even close in term of taste and complexity. I would be happy just eating this for the rest of my life

I went last year with my gf with very little Thai. Ordered the papaya salad and corn dish with the chicken wings. Easily the best dishes I’ve had during my trip! The staff was nice too despite no English on the menu. I have been thinking about the papaya salad since I left 😂. Can’t wait to go back

What a pleasant surprise to see Jay So featured on Munchies! I've tried to make it a habit of eating there everytime I visit Bangkok. The folks here are always so welcoming of tourists; even during the hectic office lunch hours! On my way out, Jay So always seems happy to ask about my meal/answer questions I have about how they prepare certain dishes 😁. My larb and moo yang are far off the mark... but I'll get the flavour nailed down... one day... hopefully 😂😂

@@tookitogo Yeah, but if its during peak hours she might be a bit busy preparing food to bother. There is also a younger employee that handles customers that speaks English too. Worst case, have some photos of their dishes that you want to try, or just point to the things you see haha. They're well aware that tourists know of them, since Mark Wiens has mentioned them a lot, so don't be deterred! If you want to avoid the more chaotic times, plan to go either before or just after office lunch hours.

I went here in Dec 2023, it was the best papaya salad ive ever had. Chicken wings were really yummy as well. They have a sauce that is reminiscent of a mexican salsa that i ate with the chicken wings and on plain sticky rice. The restaurant was indeed all DIY and very busy. Youre expected to get your own sticky rice, drinks, and condiments. There is a english menu but you have to ask for it. Jay So was constantly making salads and her husband was manning the grill. The smoke of the grill filled the restaurant. It was definitely an experience!

@@hedykarim3614 It's a liquid formed from aged and fermented raw fish that is kept in containers for months. My grandmother always made her own and I remember being a kid and seeing fish parts floating around in large jars full of dark juice. The Greeks used to make this as well back in the old days and they would bury theirs in a clay pot underground and leave it there for months as well. It's a very interesting cooking technique from both cultures.

Fermented fish sauce has a very high level of amino acids not wonder it tastes “meaty” as she says. One of the healthiest salads and most delicious too!❤

Can’t wait to go to Thailand 🇹🇭 and try her papaya salad 🤤

We have many Hmong and Southeast Asians in central California, I’ve eaten papaya salad many times! Good stuff! Love most of their food.

I can feel the passion of Jay So. I must definitely go there!

you are a lovely, charming couple. I’ve been following you for a while now and I enjoy all your videos. the filipinos love you just as much as you love them 💕

Definitely going there this summer for sure❤

What a inspireing lady the fact she has kept her passion of good food searved simply with love and integrity for her community over expansion and more money . She knows what real wealth is .

The padek, fermented fish, is the key to great papaya. I like mine with more tamarind and no crab paste. Sweet, sour and spicy. (Not too spicy). Best ❤

I like her attitude, outlook on life, and genuine care of/for her customers. We would be friends :)

So many many "Queen of Papaya Salad" in Thailand because yummy food is unique skill.

An amazing woman that makes a life out of what she is given, without complaining! Her outlook is heart-warming.

Such a nice woman. Her words at the end really struck me.

she seems so much cooler than like 90% of michelin starred chefs

A good papaya salad combined with a cold Singha is the best! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

When you see interviews with thai people/chefs and they're asked "what separates Lao and Thai papaya salad?" they ALWAYS ALWAYS say we don't use padaek (unfiltered fish sauce) but here you see that Lao style papaya is POPPIN in Thailand! For a long time thai people looked down on Lao people for eating padaek

i wonder how she got the name because i was there in Thailand this past winter. and there are plenty of food stalls that sell papaya salad and grill/fried chicien. I went to Polo chicken and it taste just like something you can get a different street vendor. I will have to go back and give this place a try. Papaya salad is a hit or miss in Thailand.

guess need to go back again to bkk to check this stall!
