Tom Yum Goong soup

　　   Tom Yum Goong soup: The most representative Thai seafood soup, known for its sour and spicy flavor. In the name of this soup, "Tom Yum" means sour and spicy—the spiciness comes from chili peppers, while the sourness is derived from lemons and tomatoes. "Goong" means shrimp, so the literal translation is sour and spicy shrimp soup. The main ingredients are often seafood such as prawns or squid. However, Tom Yum Goong can be extremely spicy and contains a large amount of curry, but many people grow to love it after getting used to the heat.
