Just a simple TOMYAM

Dulu kat Penang selalu jgkla makan tomyam tapi tukang masaknya orang Thailand. Memang dorang ni terer masak. Cukup rasa dengan pedasnya. Sambal belacan dorang pon sedap! Bila duk kat sini,teringin nak makan pape kenalah buat sendiri ye...sepanjang duk sini saya x jumpa lagi lengkuas. So, tomyam ni takde lengkuas tapi the taste is not bad.
