The Yam Naam lady in Banglumphu

We did find a guy selling Yam Naam earlier on our trip .... It was okay, but we'd been hanging to go back and see if the lady in Banglumphu was still there.

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.

Oh how I love Thai salads ...

On our walk back from Yong Lee we were contently full ... Until we spotted a hawker selling the delightful yam nam.



This is one of my most favorite Thai salads, fermented pork along with boiled pork skin is tossed with crispy red curry rice cakes, ginger, shallot, peanuts, lime, chilli and fish sauce.



Served along with it, a bag full of crunchy cabbage wedges, cucumber and a forest of Thai herbs. We sat back at the outdoor oasis at Suk 11 and enjoyed this tasty treat.



It was a fair effort, but we both much prefer the hawker we've found over the Phra Artit side of town and her flavour packed yam nam.
