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

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
