Som Tum - Thai dish.

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.

Food court and kitchens outside are a common sight in Thailand and caters to passers by or working people on a quick lunch break...

Some of the wonderful people making the food. . .

Buh mee Tom Yum Gai Krob - Thai Dish

I replace the chicken with vegetables so my dish's name is Buh mee Tom Yum Puk Krob :)

This has also become one of my favourite foods. Thailand has a wide variety of noodle soups with all the flavours you can possibly think of. It is very popular here and I have fallen in love with this particular dish.

It has egg noodles, vegetables, nuts, chilies and wonderful herbs and spices adding to a delicious flavour. I hope with more practise to give you a better description. lol

Som Tum - Thai salad.

Although apprehensive at first,  I've come to enjoy this spicy salad with the help of  my ability to communicate in thai that I'd like only a little Chili please..... :)

Green papaya salad is a spicy salad made from shredded unripe papaya. The dish combines the four main tastes of the local cuisine: sour lime, hot chili, salty, savory fish sauce, and sweetness added by palm sugar. Despite the use of papaya, which one may think of as sweet, this salad is actually savory. When not yet ripe, papaya has a slightly tangy flavor. The texture is crisp and firm, sometimes to the point of crunchiness. It is this that allows the fruit to withstand being beaten in the mortar.
