The unique flavour of this iconic soup dish offers the perfect mix of spicy, sweet, sour, and salty. It takes an extraordinary blend of aromatic lemongrass, chilli, shallots, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, galangal, juicy prawns, and a good deal of fish sauce to prepare this delectable dish. While tom yum goong is popular as a shrimp soup, you can add other meat as well, such as chicken, pork, or beef. This dish can be ordered in two variations- with or without coconut milk.
Tom yum goong is one of the most popular dishes served throughout the country as well as in restaurants in Mai Khao Phuket, including the likes of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas.
