Tom Yum Goong is one of my favorite soup. So spicy, refreshing and sour too! This is a must order dish when I dine at a Thai restaurant. However, it's quite easy to prepare at home.

A Thai dissident who had been jailed for his views and was in the U.S. as a visiting scholar at Columbia U. first taught me how to make this soup. Beautiful photos! I keep coming to your blog, so I must add you to my blogroll. Thanks for a great blog.
@ SteamyKitchen: Hey Jaden, a compliment from you means a lot to me. Thanks so much :D
@chocolatecup: I guess we both love Tom Yum soup!
@Ninette: You're most welcome and thanks for adding me to your blogroll ;)
Gorgeous photo! Is the roasted chili paste homemade or from a jar? The one time I made tom yum, I made the paste myself, but if it's available in jar form, that would certainly make things easier!
The roasted chili paste was homemade. Thanks for the compliments.
Thank you very much. The information was very nice and the service was excellent.
I hope you can take the time to visit the website, www.thai-food.in.th. It is only just beginning but I think you will eventually find it to be a great resource to learn about Thai food basics and beayond.
