Staff Meal Lunch: Tom Yum Curry Chicken

Such a privilege to be able to eat tom yum cooked by a Thai chef. Not every day you get that and I'm lucky to be able to have a meal like this.

I was expecting it to be above my spice tolerance level but it was just the right amount of heat and you could taste all the aromatics used like lemongrass and Kaffir Lime leaves.

It also had milk or Santan I can't really remember coz this was from a weeks ago but it was slightly creamy and had such a smooth mouthfeel to the tomyum broth.

I had my meal without any carbs although the rest of the staff loaded up on rice for this meal which is what pairs perfectly for this dish. Without the rice, I loaded up on the chicken and it was so so delicious!

Definitely gonna want to learn to cook this dish from auntie or wait to enjoy it when she make it again.
