Raw meat is back on the menu – and here’s where you can try it. Northern Thai food is famous for its laap, a meat salad that’s distinctly different from its Isan counterpart thanks to the addition of blood, cumin and a number of other jungle herbs and spices. Traditionally consumed in both cooked and raw forms, this roadside restaurant just out of town keeps culture alive (in both senses!) with their menu of raw buffalo salads, spicy soups and offal grill.
Their must-try dish: A safe space for raw meat, push the boat out and shove a warm ball of sticky rice into a spicy raw buffalo laap salad.
