bari tais liur looking at this sour fish soup.....
does it taste like tomyam soup?... sia sia pun....
Hi reza, yes , this is like som tom, a lighter version of Thailand Tom Yam. No ground chili and susu cair, so, its very nice. Sometime I substitute the fish with fresh prawn and oyster mushroom. :)
mmmm.. gerenti nyaman ni, n a healthy recipe too esp for those on diet.. i shud try this out soon hehe
nyaman nyaman usulnya... I'll try to get my wife to try it out for me :)
Ucing itam, you should try this. The blast of flavour is very much triggered by the combination of corrainder roots and lemon grass. If you want it hot, taruh lada padi...lagi nyaman...
Reza... Ask your missus to try this for you... and serve it hot !
