Yum Tua Pu: ยำถั่วพู

The photo shows Yum Tua Pu (Thai: ยำถั่วพู). I had this Thai cuisine at a Thai Vietnamese place of my hotel in Bangkok, Thailand as my arrival dinner in October 2013. The restaurant wrote down a long name for this food on their menu to describe the food for their foreign guests; it said Winged bean salad with fresh prawns and soft-boiled eggs (Thai: ยำถั่วพูกุ้งสด ไข่ต้มยางมะตูม), but it goes by Yum Tua Pu. I love the exotic looking winged bean (Thai: ถั่วพู). The winged bean looked funny and tasted yummy.
