Nest of Papaya Salad (Kerabu Betik)


Today I plan to have mango salad as a company for our ikan pari bakar and air asam, but I cannot find the good young mango. I try find the mango in few places, but still cannot get, and suddenly my eye catch small young papaya. :) i'm smiling, and and so many ideas come into my mind - to create a good dish with the papaya. i still stick to make salad... then when at home, i notice that i don't have peanuts but i have almond, so i use roast almond instead of peanut and add another unusual thing in our salad - quail egg - half boil quil egg!!!
