Restaurant review — Tom Yum Soup that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Tom Yum Soup well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The bright and lively base was authentic and the use of galangal showed real knowledge. fresh herbs and aromatics are added at the last moment to preserve fragrance. The atmo…

Traditional versus modern Tom Yum Soup — which wins?

I've now had Tom Yum Soup prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting.

Cooking class experience — learning Tom Yum Soup properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Tom Yum Soup correctly. The instructor explained why kaffir lime leaves is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it.

Tom Yum Soup as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Tom Yum Soup is absolutely in that category. The balanced between sweet, sour, salty, and spicy quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. palm sugar does work that no substitute can replicate. Thai cooking philosophy balances …
