Shredded green papaya pounded with fish sauce, lime, chili, and cherry tomatoes. Bright, funky, and fiercely spicy — the soul of Hmong street food.
Crispy-edged waffle made with pandan extract, giving it a vivid green color and a fragrant, slightly sweet flavor. Served with condensed milk and coconut cream.
