If you're a fan of the mouthwatering Thai dish, Tomyam, you're in for a treat.
A netizen named @arfdy12 on Twitter just reshared a post by Zatty Roslan that revealed the top three Tomyam paste brands that are making waves in the kitchen among Malaysians. Whether you're a spice enthusiast or prefer a milder flavour, there's a Tomyam paste for everyone on this list.
Now, let's delve into the details of these delectable Tomyam paste options.
1. Tomyam Paste Bottle With Thai Wordings
Zatty's Review:
"The one with Thai words is the ultimate winner. It's a bit of a treasure hunt to find, but trust me, it's worth it. I scoured Padang Besar and found only two bottles. While it's a bit pricier than other brands, the cooking process is a breeze. Just add water, the paste, and all your Tomyam ingredients. No need to fuss with salt, sugar, lemongrass, and the like. But here's a tip: don't skimp on the paste. Load it up for that irresistibly rich Tomyam!"
2. Nang Fah Tomyam Paste
Zatty's Review:
"Next up is Nang Fah Tomyam Paste. Notice the tiny circles on the packaging? This one's a close second in terms of taste. It's also a bit more budget-friendly than the Thai-labeled bottle. The cooking method is just as straightforward. Throw everything in without any adjustments. But here's a twist: try adding some fresh milk to your Tomyam. It tones down the acidity a bit. If you go heavy on the paste, it might get a tad too sour for some, so keep that in mind!"
3. PUM Tomyam Paste
Zatty's Review:
"And lastly, we have PUM Tomyam Paste. You'll spot the small circles on this one too. However, it's not as beloved as the others, and many have found it requires some tweaking. It's readily available in Padang Besar, and it's more budget-friendly than our top two picks. But be prepared to do some culinary alterations. Think salt, sugar, lemongrass, galangal, onions, and more. It's like starting from scratch. If you're up for the challenge and want to save a few bucks, give it a shot."
There you have it the top three Tomyam paste brands according to Malaysian taste buds. Whether you're hunting for an authentic Thai experience, seeking budget-friendly options, or ready to experiment with flavours, these pastes have got you covered. So, spice up your kitchen adventures and indulge in the delightful world of Tomyam!
