Origin


The origin of kung chae nampla is not clear but it believes that it has been a dish since in early Rattanakosin era (about 1782 – 1851) and it was originally found widespread in Thailand. It has become popular as an appetizer.


Controversial issue


Many people are afraid of sickness because raw shrimps that are used in this menu are risky of having Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria. It can cause  abdominal pain and diarrhea to ones who eat it (Germs from shrimp in fish sauce, 2014). 


Types


There are different types of kung chae nampla. First of all, the original one, is served with chunks of gourd, cloves of garlic, and chilies with a spicy sauce that is served separately. Second, another version is served with lemongrass added. Lastly, there is the pour over version, which is served with the spicy sauce poured over the shrimp whereas other versions keep the spicy sauce separate when serving.



Similarly, there is also another spicy shrimp salad (Thai: พล่ากุ้ง, RTGS: phla kung). However, it has boiled shrimp, lime juice, kaffir lime leaves and lemon grass as the main ingredients.
