Asian curries are popular all around the world, and as such when in Chiang Mai, you must give the Gaeng Hang Lay a try. This is a yellow curry involving a tamarind soup, shallots, fish paste and pork chunks. As coconut cream is not added in the cooking process, the texture of this curry is not that thick. However, it is very rich in flavour and spices. Some find it difficult to like it on the first try. These people usually adapt to the taste of the curry overtime. So, don't give up on it!
