Hey Riya,

Thank you very much for your comment and the clarification about the color of my soup. While you might be absolutely right on your part, I have actually had versions of Tom Kha Gai at local Thai restaurants that do have the reddish/orangish tint to it.

Also, as have I written in my post above, “My recipe is no standard but more of a framework.” I am definitely no authority on authentic Thai food. What I present on my blog are my ideas, my creations and the recipes I come up with – my very own “signature concoctions”.

“tom kha Kai” (ต้มข่าไก่ )is not red nor orange. it should be “white” or “off-white” colour. you are not supposed to add “red paste” in it.

it looks more like “tom yum num kon” (ต้มยำน้ำข้น)

Munnu, Thai food is my absolute favorite!! The soup looks yummmy!! =) I am absolutely salivating sitting at my desk at work. Great way to start my Thursday. (Never get time to try anything, but am going to start with the chicken biryani, you have a post about that, right?)

Your Tom Kha Gai looks exactly like the ones I used to slurp as a kid when I went to the markets with my Dad. I found it so spicy at the time, but still finished it all and spent the rest of the morning chewing on the lemongrass.

This is definitely bookmarked for later!

Oh, the Tom Kha Gai had me at hello. Then, you mentioned it was a cure for sore throats and colds…if only I’d seen this recipe about a week ago! Alas, I’ll have to save it for the next cold (as there is bound to be one). Or maybe I’ll have to try it sooner. Through your photos one can almost taste the citrusy notes playing off the “creeping heat” of the chiles as you call it. Beautifully done!

Anyway, I found you through TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.

Best,
Casey
