Sadao - Nam Pla Wan is a dipping that is eaten during the cold season because it is the time that the neem flowers (dork sadao) and river prawns become plentiful.
In the old days the dish was eaten with baked river prawns which were plentiful during the cold season, as proved by the old saying: "kung pao, sadao luak, nam pla wan." Nowadays the dish is served with grilled catfish.
The dish shows off the cleverness of people in the old times who mixed a bitter vegetable such as neem flowers (dork sadao) with the sweetness of nam pla wan to bring about just the right combination.
