Finding the best Tom Yum Soup in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Tom Yum Soup I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled Thai basil with genuine knowledge and the deeply aromatic result was noticeably superior.

fresh herbs and aromatics are added at the last moment to preserve fragrance. The winning restaurant had the right a traditional home kitchen feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. Singha beer was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Tom Yum Soup is made properly it's a completely different experience.
