My First Taste of Fried Papaya Salad in Thailand

Fried Papaya Salad

Thankfully I saw my old post about Suvarnabhumi's Magic Food Point, as it reminded me to give this fried papaya salad a try (yes, the stall was still there after all of these years). To be clear, this wasn't served hot from the fryer. These were pre-fried slivers of papaya sitting at room temperature, waiting to be dressed with a mixture of freshly shaved corn and other goodies in the usual mortar and pestle. Yes, it was good. It was almost like a spicy Thai corn salsa on top of shoestring potatoes. I'm surprised that this isn't more common.
