Tom Yum Kung - Thai dish

This is a favourite amongst the Thai people. It is very spicy so if you are not used to spicy food, ask them to make it a little spicy first. "Ped Ned Noi" - "Little spicy" . These words will help you tremendously.:)

This dish comes in two types. One has a cream base, and the other a clear soup base. It is quite tangy and strong, consisting of tomatoes, lemon grass, lime, cillantro, kaffir lime leaves, galanga, mushrooms, prawns  and of course chilies...
To enhance the flavour, sometimes nam phrik phao or roast chilli paste is added to the soup before it is removed from the heat. It has a unique sour and spicy taste that you will certainly need it more and more if you try it just once.
