Bangkok Food ~ The Mango Salad

We have two missions to complete at the Chatuchak weekend market. First, to SHOP!!! Shop till we PK! hahahahaha and secondly, we have to look for the delicious mango salad. During my last trip to Bangkok, we bumped into this lady, which carries 2 baskets selling some food. Out of curiosity, we ordered one to try. The lady doesn't understand English, therefore we asked the shop owners at the Chatuchak weekend market to help us translate. I can't forget the taste of this mango salad ever since i tasted it last year. So hopefully we were lucky enough to bump into this lady again this time.

Guess what, i think we really have fate with this lady. While we were shopping shopping shopping, suddenly i saw a lady sitting in the middle of the street with two baskets besides her. Yes, that's her! That's the lady!!! hehe.. YES YES YES!!! Again, we point point point our fingers to the stack of mango, and i think she understand lar. hehe.. While waiting for her to prepare, i took pictures of her baskets.

the right basket, full of mango slices,
onions, red color fruits which i'm not sure
what is it, hehe, onions, peanut, garlic...

the left basket got chili padi, mango slices as well,
onion, small little crabs, and a bottle of dono wat..

We tried to ask them what do they call this thing. But they don't seems to understand what we are trying to ask. So let just refer this as mango salad. hehe.. I believe besides mango salad, this lady is also selling something else, too bad she doesn't understand english, else i think we probably can try some other stuff too!

She showed us a chili padi, asked us want or not, and we said yes, then she add in mango slices, onions, garlic, peanuts and a few teaspoons from the bottle, which i don't now what's that. Mixed around and that's it. She doesn't gave us the little crab, i guess that is for some other dish..

Mango Salad, 25 Bath (RM 2.50)

This is so so so so delicious. Sweet, spicy, sour.. it just taste so good! This is the food i missed the most in Bangkok. hehe.. If you go to Chatuchak weekend market, pls pls pls, do not miss the opportunity to try this mango salad else.. you will regret. HAAAHAHA.. trust me lar, it's really nice. You can't really try this in any where else.
