We are Thai Food fans. I mean I could eat Thai Food everyday. But then if I were to eat Thai everyday, when would I eat Indian or Bengali food?

I think ours likes are pad Thai and Penang, but last night I felt like having soup. And not just some chicken and noodle soup. I wanted best flavors.

Plus, Karl is tasteless so I really needed to put some main flavors for him to basically be able to taste something….poor guy, he is not often sick but when he come to be it’s bad!

Anyways! Since we can’t pay for to actually go to Thailand just up till now, I thought this soup was a respectable different.
