Tangy and spicy, a delightful taste on the tip of your tongue~ Thai Spicy Sour Shrimp Soup::TomYamKung

When it comes to Thai cuisine, that aromatic blend of spiciness, sourness, and subtle flavors can get your salivary glands going just by imagining it. The golden-hued Thai curry infused with coconut milk aroma, the herbs, small eggplants, and red chilies floating in the broth—all you have to do is look at those vibrant colors and your appetite starts to grow. Not to mention the crisp and tangy green papaya salad, or the seemingly light yet richly aromatic Tom Yum soup, filled with the fragrances of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, bursting with the sweet umami of seafood, impossible to stop eating once you take the first bite... The allure of Thai food is one of the many reasons people keep coming back to Thailand. And when in Thailand, one dish you absolutely must try is Tom Yam Kung—Thai Spicy Sour Shrimp Soup. This tangy and spicy dish stimulates the taste buds and cools you down, and is considered one of the proudest dishes of the Thai people. The restaurant located on Khao San Road even takes its name from this iconic dish. A small neon sign reading “Tom Yam Kung” hangs at the alley entrance; step through the covered walkway into the narrow lane, and you’ll find two white wooden houses dating back to the reign of Rama VI. The open-air seating area lies in the courtyard surrounded by the three buildings, with a semi-open-air bar on the right-hand side...Click to view detailed attraction information
