Larb is a meat salad that is mainly found in the country of Laos but also has regional variations that can be found in the Isan province of Thailand, the Shan state in Myanmar, and the Hunnan region of China. Larb is a mixture of minced chicken, beef, pork, duck, or fish that are mixed with a variety of spices and fish sauce. Although not the same thing, it could be compared to the North American steak tartare. Unfortunately, many people are hesitant to try Larb due to the potential health risks associated with it. If not cleaned or prepared properly, consuming this dish runs the risk of suffering from rabies, salmonella, or trichinosis. Another risk includes the consuming of parasitical worms from eating raw fish versions of the dish and possible bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) due to issues associated with fermentation of fish products.

Answer: Ice Cream

While the concept of ice cream has been around for thousands of years, it was only introduced to Thailand during the reign of Rama V which began with his first coronation in 1868 and ended upon his death in 1910. During his reign, the first ice cream machine was imported to Thailand and ice cream was served as a special treat for the upper class. Initially, it was merely coconut water blended with ice. As years passed, ice cream was made using coconut milk, sugar, milk, and flour. By the 1970s, the Pop Company set up a manufacturing plant in Thailand, imported machines from overseas, and became the first company to mass produce ice cream in Asia.

From Quiz A Day in a Thai Restaurant with Abby_91

Answer: Green Papaya

Green, unripe papayas have a slight tang, but almost neutral in flavour. To get the flavour into the papaya strands, they need to be pounded in a pestle and mortar with the other ingredients to the salad. Green papaya is able to withstand the beating and retains that crunchy texture. This is a very popular dish at the restaurant, and I pride myself for working at the salad and dessert station.
