Tom Yum is known for its spicy, sour, savory, and addictive! Trust me that one sip is NOT ENOUGH! Besides, Tom Yum is the BEST and most authentic Thai dish. Not to mention how easy it is to make.
In Thailand, it is called Tom Yum Goong where 'Goong' means 'Prawn' in Thai. There goes along with the specialty of this recipe that uses our signature Black Tiger Prawn. Erm...I guess enough talking, let's start cooking, shall we?
