Raw and delightful

EATING raw leaves does not sound like an appealing prospect at all, but the Mieng Kam at Royal Thai was a delightful treat.

With shredded coconut, roasted peanuts, diced ginger, diced onion, cili padi, lime dried shrimps and sweet sauce wrapped in the fresh betel leaf parcels, the acerbic flavour of the leaves could hardly be tasted.
