In a little tucked away place you can find Tom Yum or Tom Yam soup – literally hot and spicy and sour salad. This Lao and Thai soup is from south east Asia – Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. I have only tried the Tom Yum Kai (or Gai) which is the chicken version. Though the veggie and prawn versions are in the next to try! But as with all food is concerned, is always best when shared with great company.

And I must admit it reminded me of the Singaporean hawker centres I so miss…
