Som Tum or Thai Spicy Papaya Salad sure is a world-renowned delicacy. Even those who haven’t made their way to Thailand know Som Tum and might have tried it somewhere else in the world. As for travelers who’ve tried the real deal in Thailand, they usually finish the dish craving for more. What surprised us, though, is that only one version of Som Tum seems to make it to most tables. In reality, Som Tum comes in at least 5 different versions, varying in main ingredients, staple condiments, and spiciness.
Tum Pu (Spicy Papaya Salad with Salted Crab)
Not to be confused with Tum Thai Sai Pu, Tum Pu is Som Tum with Crab. The salted crabs are mostly rice field crabs which are marinated in salt for 3-5 days and boiled. Some restaurants offer salted blue crabs which are more expensive. Tum Pu is less sweet than Tum Thai and doesn’t contain peanuts. In case you don’t like the sweet Tum Thai but aren’t keen on chewing the salted crabs, you can still get Tum Thai Sai Pu or Tum Pu just to savor the aroma.
