And indeed she was, perched where she usually is just out front of the supermarket, just opposite the giant fridge full of funny sausages.
We're quick to jump in line and order 2 yam naam.
She methodically takes exact amounts of peanuts, naam, pork skin, shallots, ginger and crushes a red curry crispy rice ball through the mix, then makes the dressing over the salad with palm sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and chili. I think she's made fair few of these in her time .....
Each one is mixed individually, then placed in a bag with chunks of cabbage and crisp lettuce.
We make our way over to the park, sit down and enjoy what we like to call the greatest yam naam in Bangkok.

"a red curry crispy rice ball"?! What is this deliciousness?!
Well when you have some left over rice, you mix it with some red curry paste and an egg, maybe some finely sliced kaffir lime leaf and a bit of fish sauce. Then you mold and deep fry the resulting balls before crushing through a Thai salad or just eating as is.
Here's a sample:

Lovely blog. We're planning a weekend trip to BKK in the next few weeks and we're going to try some of your haunts!! Thanks for the info.
Thanks, I hope that she is still there, it's been a few years since we have been in Thailand. But if she is don't pass the salad up, it's the best we've had in Thailand.
