It was exceptionally cold today that it drove me to wear socks. But that didn’t help. I could feel the cold creeping inside my skin! Yikes! This is a great time to eat something spicy and hot! What could it be?

Tom Yum was the first food I thought of. I still have few packs of Tom Yum paste my brother sent us and I also have frozen mushrooms from my mother-in-law. What I lack are the seafood, lemon grass and other spices to make a mean Tom Yum soup. When I voiced out my craving for spicy food at M, he was quick to search in the internet where we can find Tom Yum in Prague. It wasn’t only the spicy soup we found, but a lot of other Thai food as well that I’ve wanted to eat!

An hour and a half after our conversation, M arrived home carrying a brown bag with the food I ordered – tom yum kai and phad thai kai. I was battling between phad thai and nam tok mu but in the end I chose the former as I won’t have to cook rice. Heheh I was really feeling lazy!

The tom yum kai. Doesn’t look appealing at all!

The verdict: the soup wasn’t as yummy as what we usually make with mixed seafood. It has a strong taste of coriander but lacks the taste of lemon grass.

The phad thai kai.

The phad thai was so-so. I didn’t taste the peanuts and the bean sprouts were close to nil. But it was yummy, it just didn’t taste what phad thai should be. Even so, I devoured it with gusto.

If you’re curious where M bought the Thai food, it’s from:
