Laab Gai Yang, or Spicy Roast Chicken Salad, by Somtam Nua, Bangkok, Thailand (Siam Square)

Laab Gai Yang, or Spicy Roast Chicken Salad by Somtam Nua, Bangkok, Thailand Somtam Nua is one of my favorite restaurants in Bangkok . This classic Issan restaurant is a Bangkok icon and has been serving up spicy northeastern Thai dishes for generations. It's one of the first places I like to take people when they come to visit Thailand . A friend was in town the other day, so we met up in Siam Square for lunch at Somtam Nua. Laab, or larb, is traditionally made from minced meat, but the dish that I ordered was made from juicy pieces of bone-in roast chicken instead. laab gai yang, or spicy roast chicken salad by Somtam Nua, Bangkok, Thailand
