virginprune Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Papaya salad, or som tam to give it's correct name is very easy to make. For a really authentic recipe try ThaiTable, an online recipe site.

MacBubba Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Filipinos have pickled papaya too. It's called acharra. Here in Toronto, we can buy them bottled at some Filipino restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram (Tim) Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 where do you get it? I can only get young papaya at certain of the year. Various restaurants. I have never bought it anywhere. It comes as a side dish and I get to eat both hers and mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginprune Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Filipinos have pickled papaya too. It's called acharra. Here in Toronto, we can buy them bottled at some Filipino restaurants. som tam is not pickled. It is a fresh salad made with green papaya, green beans, tomatoes, dried shrimp, lots of chillies, palm sugar, fish sauce, fresh lime juice and fresh coriander. Acharra is a completely different thing. Edited August 16, 2015 by virginprune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris49 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Lugaw or congee or goto as they call it. Here in the market, not our town, a 20 km ride on the bike, 40 km round trip. Original lugaw with coconut milk, green onions, crunchy garlic unlimited, calamansi and the chili made into a paste. 15 pesos a large bowl but no goto. Add one egg, so 25 pesos a bowl. 2 bowls will pull you through almost until afternoon. Nice waitresses enhance everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris49 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I like Thai, the chicken curry, green with coconut milk. But the Filipino's have trouble adapting new recipes other than the ones they have in their head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
