I apologize if I missed it but I looked through this thread and did not see this Thai dish listed:
Meang Kum
Fresh Chapoo leaves on top of which sit roasted coconut, sun dried shrimp, diced ginger, shallot, lime, peanuts and Thai hot pepper, served with sauce that one spoons onto the the whole pile of items listed above. One then puts the whole thing in the mouth to eat.
This is an amazing dish, I've only seen it once before on a Thai restaurant menu. I spoke with the restaurant owner who grew up in Bangkok and said this dish has always been one of her favorites since a young age. Anyone else like this dish or have seen it on a US menu?
