I think green papaya salad is Khmer food because everyone knows it and now it is popular all around the country, she said. Chita has been selling this green Papaya salad for one year already. Most of her customers are Cambodian.

There are different kinds of green papaya salad such as Thai and Laos salad, but the reason that makes hers tastes like Khmer food is that it includes Prohok (left) and Kapi which are Khmer ingredients.
