I was astounded by the vibrant flavours on this plate.
Simply inhaling the “perfume” wafting up from the thickened “Tom Yum Gai” (Thai coconut chicken soup) had my salivary glands going into overdrive. Brightened with a squeeze of fresh kaffir lime, it was a flawless match for the crunchy deep-fried fritter of plump oysters from Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture.
