Tom Yam Poktek Part I

We were having our lunch in this Thai Restaurant at Paya Terubong last weekend. We ordered Tom Yam Poktek soup. It taste so GOOD and yummy-licious!It's a clear soup and has grind lemongrass,red bird chili,kafir lime leaves,galangal,and a little bit of ginger. All this ingredients grind together and turn it into clear soup served with oyster mushroom,prawns and chopped coriander leaves. It has some sour and spicy taste. To my assumption they have grind the red bird chili together with the rest of the ingredient as I saw some chili flakes in the soup. And also they have added the 'asam keping' in making this special soup. I've tried to google the recipe online but I did not come accross of any similar cooking as the one I had.

It's about time for me to use my taste buds to do the cooking. Hope it turn out to be a good one. I have all the ingredients needed for this cooking stock up in the gridge except for prawns and coriander leaves as this two ingredients I will need a fresh one. Let's see this is going to be my Saturday project or Sunday project.
