tom kha gai
Coconut chicken broth
Tom kha gai is a Thai soup made with chicken in coconut milk, flavored with galangal, lemongrass, lime leaves, and fish sauce.
The broth is rich and aromatic, balancing creamy, sour, and savory elements.
Sometimes spelled tom kha kai.
I ordered tom kha gai and pad thai.
