I really do not understand how I got so outdoorsy these days. I could not believe I just went to Tai Mei Tuk. It was one sunny morning and a couple of friends and I decided to go cycling around Tai Po and after of sweats under the burning sun, we reached our destination and decided to go have some food as a reward for a hardworking morning.
There were not that many options there but we saw one place called Thai Thai Kitchen and it has got all those pictures with celebrities going there, we thought it should be of decent quality. So we went there. It was rather quiet there and not many diners nor travelers so we easily became the loudest group there. There was quite an array of food to choose from. More or less food that were somewhat spicy so I expected the worst (my friends loved this but certainly not me) to make it worse, my friends ordered Tom Yum (seriously who ordered that knowing I could not handle that at all?) So for those who had not tried that before, Tom yum is a spicy and sour soup in Thai style. The main ingredients for the broth include lemongrass, lime leaves, lime juice, fish sauce, and lots and lots and lots and lots of chili peppers.
We also ordered quite a few more but to me, that tom yum was the best (surprised? Yes, me too!)
I was rather reluctant to try at first as I remember last time I tried I could not speak for a while as it completely burnt my throat. However, due to peer pressure, I had a spoonful and to my surprise, I liked it. Of course it was spicy but it was not overly spiced and I could also taste the fresh ingredient there. All in all, I would come here again for some authentic thai food if I for some reason, agree to go cycling again. read more
