May Kaidee Tanao VegetarianのMay Kaidee Special Salad —davidのレビュー（2024年1月19日）

With my heavy curry (see last review), I wanted a Thai salad 🥗 Vegetables (and maybe some fruit) with a dressing - that’s my picture of a salad. Of course you can get all fancy and add different topics. In my opinion, this dish here doesn’t deserve to be called a salad, because it isn’t a #salad lol. But maybe that’s why it’s called a SPECIAL SALAD. #veganbangkok

When it was served, my thoughts were: #MASSIVE. I was still eating on my curry so I didn’t dig in immediately. But when I did I was… a bit shocked. The supposed salad 🥗 turned out to be deep fried vegetables, mushrooms and seaweed with a tangy sauce. Topped with fresh onion, tomato and herbs, some peanuts and sesame seeds. #mushroomlover #sweetdreamsaremadeofgrease

As I expected something light - especially having just indulged in a heavy curry, and it being 35°C, this was an experience to say the least. It was damn tasty but the portion was way too much in combination with a curry. I still ate it all because we hate food waste! Should’ve opted for the well known som tum (green papaya salad) - there I would’ve known what I’d get haha. I’d get it again - as a main, and only dish for lunch, that’s how filling it was. It definitely filled me up for a heavy day of sightseeing.

Does this qualify as a salad for you?
