Pomelo Salad (Yam Som O) with Kanten Flakes (ポメロサラダ-寒天フレーク入り)

One of my memorable Thai salad is this Pomelo salad (Yam Som O) while I have lived in Singapore where people can easily travel to Thailand. Luckily we are still able to get Pomelo here in Canada too thanks to many Asian supermarkets!

The salad is very refreshing and has exotic flavour.  And don't forget our KANTEN FLAKES! Kanten flakes are 100% made from red seaweed. They have virtually no calories and are an excellent source of dietary fibre (80% by content) intake. It's a great addition of chewy texture to salad as well.
