Tom Yum!

I am lazy to follow recipes to a T...which is why I suck at baking. 

Anyway, I had an agar-agar recipe in my head for Tom Yum soup...(non-spicy version)...

I'd wanted to try it for the longest time but didn't have a chance to...

Finally wrote my recipe and instructions down yesterday and helper executed it....

Did a small pot as an experiment as I had an inkling the girls probably wouldn't like the taste of it. Since they're not used to such strong tasting spices yet...

Glad that this little experiment turned out pretty well! Yay to fish sauce, kaffir lime and lemongrass!

The kaffir lime gave such a lovely fragrance to the whole house haha...

Nadya didn't think so though and kept complaining about "that smell"...

Bah, she'll learn over time ;p 

The soup was good to me...comparable to outside soups! The flavours were almost down pat...

Except that the chicken pieces used were a little bland and chewy (maybe cos it's breast meat)...

Till the next experiment :)

Maybe it'll be better with seafood...
