Bangkok: Tom Yam Kung (spicy shrimp soup), a popular Thai dish, has been included in CNN’s list of the world’s 20 best soups, said the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
Governor of TAT Yuthasak Supasorn said: “The ongoing international recognition of Tom Yam Kung and other signature Thai dishes, displayed in the awarding of such titles, perfectly supports the inclusion of gastronomy tourism in the destination marketing of Thailand in visitor source markets everywhere.”
Gastronomy tourism is a key element of the ‘Visit Thailand Year 2022’ campaign showcasing the amazing and diversified culinary scene prevalent throughout Thailand.
“Sweet, sour, spicy, and salty, this soup’s magnificent broth is the ideal foil for sweet, tender shrimp. Aromatic ingredients include galangal, lemongrass, and lime leaves, while slivers of bright red bird’s-eye chillies add additional heat” is how CNN describes tom yam kung.
In terms of its global popularity and profile, tom yam kung is up there with other famous soups of various different cuisines; such as, French onion soup, Japan’s ramen, China’s wonton soup, Italy’s minestrone, and America’s chowder soup.
