Tom Yam Poktek Part II

I've made this tomyam soup this weekend. I had my first try on this tomyam last Sunday during our lunch at one of the Thai Restaurant nearby our place and it taste so good! I tried to make this soup based on the taste and when my tomyam poktek is ready I realize it does not taste the same as what I have tried on last Sunday. I've grind all the ingredients but my tomyam turn out to be very 'clear' perhaps I've added too much water in it. But no worries 'ikan bilis' cube to the rescue, I've added one cube into the soup base and it turned out to be so delicious! I only grind 3 stalks of lemongrass...kaffir lime leaves, ginger and some garlic. I should have grind the galangal together but I failed to get one from Tesco & Sunshine supermarket today so I've skip the galangal. I added some big prawn into the soup as well with oyster mushroom, carrot , kaffir lime leaves and crabstick. I will try this tomyam poktek again this Friday hope it can turn out to be as good as the one I had at the Thai Restaurant last weekend.
