UC Oriental Market

I’ve spent just over a year living in Thailand so naturally when I came back I want to try my hand at cooking some of my own Thai food… I’m still perfecting my craft. Nonetheless, you’ll find many spices and sauces that you’ll need here. Most importantly there’s a lady in the back, known as the «papaya lady», which makes the BEST som tum papaya salad I’ve had since being back, really close to what you’d get in Thailand or Laos. It’s one of the only things she makes to sell and after trying it you’ll know why she’s known as the «papaya lady.» I’d highly recommend getting yourself some.
