Weird Thai Soup Made Of Shrimp Paste

Thailand is not just a tomyum land. Come to think of it, I have not had tomyum for such a long time.

 

Thumbs up to gaeng liang goong sod
I just tried ‘Gaeng liang goong sod‘ (แกงเลียงกุ้งสด) not long ago. It is a Thai spicy vegetable soup with prawns, and made of shrimp paste, southern style.

Shrimp paste soup sounds weird and yucky, but it was yummehlicious!

Blessed D for introducing a new Thai dish to me. It is always a risk, as I could be totally indifferent to a new dish, or fall over heads in love with it.

Do give it a try .. If you like Malaysia’s assam laksa soup texture, then you might like this soup too. Herby soup, with lots and lots of veges. Enjoy!

Not Your Typical Tourist

Travel opens up a whole new world, which is cliche but true. I am a strong advocate for independent and solo travel. I was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but now live in Bangkok, Thailand, resulted from a chance encounter in 2009 with my why-are-you-Thai bf. I am now split between two countries. One country for my bf, another for the family, for the occasional weekend together.
