Yam Som-O is how people in Thailand call Pomelo Salad. I first got introduced to this salad a couple of years back when my sister took me to eat at People's Palace - a modern Thai cuisine restaurant in Greenbelt 3 ran by Chef Colin Mackay. The salad was so good I was blown away by the mix of fresh flavors with just the right amounts of acidity and seasoning. I remember listing the ingredients after we ate the salad but I never got to try and make the dish myself. That is until recently, when sacks of Pink Pomelo from Davao, landed on our doorsteps. I do not claim this to be anything like the Pomelo Salad at People's Palace because only emotional remnants of that experience remain. I have to back there and eat that salad again. And then maybe I can come up with a new version of this refreshing and healthy dish. Regardless, this version of the Pomelo Salad by A Billion Chefs is as good and memorable as well.
