Thai Spicy Sour Shrimp Soup
When it comes to Thai cuisine, that fragrant, slightly sour and spicy flavor can make your salivary glands go into overdrive just by imagining it. The golden-yellow Thai curry, redolent with coconut milk aroma, floating herbs, small eggplants, and red chilies in the broth—just the beautiful colors alone are enough to whet your appetite. Not to mention the crisp, tangy, and spicy green papaya salad, or the seemingly light yet richly aromatic Tom Yam Kung soup, bursting with the scents of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, brimming with the umami of fish, shrimp, and crab, making it impossible to stop after the first bite... The enchanting flavors of Thai food are one of the reasons many people find themselves returning to Thailand again and again. Especially when in Thailand, one dish you absolutely must try is Tom Yam Kung—the Thai Spicy Sour Shrimp Soup. This tangy and spicy dish can awaken your taste buds and cool you down, and is considered one of the dishes Thais are most proud of. And the restaurant located on Khao San Road, named after this iconic dish, is called Tom Yam Kung. A small neon sign with the name Tom Yam Kung hangs at the entrance of the alley. Walk through the covered walkway into the narrow lane, and you’ll be greeted by two white wooden houses dating back to the reign of King Rama VI. The central open area surrounded by the three buildings serves as the outdoor seating area, with a semi-open-air bar to the right...Click to view detailed attraction information
