Koi pla, a cheap raw fish ground with spices and lime, is a popular raw fish dish usually eaten by Thais and Thai food lovers. It is also believed to kill up to 20,000 Thais per year.

My favourite Thai dishes come from the Esarn region of Thailand which is essentially sticky rice with Som Tam (raw papaya salad) served with grilled dishes like Khaw Mu Yang (grilled pork neck). That was the kind of food that my fellow Thai students used to bring me to eat for lunch when I was doing my MBA at Sasin GIBA. The presence of sticky rice at any Thai restaurant in Singapore is one of my gauge for the authenticity of the food being served.
