 | | For som tum lao, though, Borriboon recommends that we pay a visit to Riam Rimbueng Restaurant, owned by Ream Somrub, a friend of hers, and known for its particularly good rendition of the dish. |
 | | We order a double-size som tum lao, with extra yard-long beans, limes, and garlic, and from a neighboring stall purchase another local specialty, pla chon paow, whole freshwater tilapia stuffed with basil and lemongrass, crusted with salt, and grilled. |
 | | The som tum lao is even more vibrant and intense than the one I ate in Khon Kaen, with large chunks of lime and both green chiles and red ones. |
