Green Papaya and seafood salad

We had a Thai meal tonight. Look away if you don’t like prawns. Very tasty, low carbohydrates. With mussels, squid and scallops.

Sometimes it’s good to try something new, rather than having the same food every day. But then I am lucky to have that opportunity. Its difficult to know how the first world can do so much when so many other people in the world have nothing or next to nothing….

Green papaya salad

Went out for a belated birthday meal, everywhere has been shut down for months except for takeaways.

We had simple starters including small vegetable spring rolls, chicken wings, small spare ribs, satay chicken and chicken dumplings. Then I had a papaya seafood salad. It was delicious, spicy, lime and lemony, mixed green papaya and shredded carrot and sliced tomato and cucumber and other vegetables. Also a pile of spicy noodles and beansprouts, broccoli and other veg. The seafood were large king prawns, squid, and mussels. So tasty. Good prices too. Not to expensive, all cooked fresh.

Tonight was busy, I don’t think I’ve seen so many people in there for ages but it was worth the wait.
