My Favorate Tom Yum Gong





There are variety of delicious food in Thailand, one of the famous and also my favorite Thai food is Tom Yum Gong, the meaning of "Gong" in Thai mean Prawn or shrimp, usually we will choose the prawn not too big and not too small, a medium size prawn make the best taste.



There are many Tom Yum sellers stall along the main road in Bangkok area and trust me, the taste is much better the the food you can find in some good hotel, sometimes a tourist might think that preparation of food along the road side may have some hygiene problem, but we take the food a lot without any problem.






Here is my Recipe for making Delicious Tom Yum Gong
