A little sour, a lot of savory, and a big roasted chili pepper floating on top. Complex. It was fabulous. Where else can this be found? (Not so much the Kao Soi, at least tonite. perhaps it's me).

But it's still good. Just not as deeply flavored. I wonder if any of the people who've enjoyed this at Ayada would care to weigh in on why they liked it, compared to Sri or Chao Thai~ Wed Oct 07 17:10:31 -0700 2009 4461232 54570 daiquiri ice 3 5087867 i found the ayada one very pungent, nice "dry" taste from the lemongrass, so sour yet, with good spice as well. sure offal parts will be tastier but i liked the cornish hen one quite nice.

There's not that much "offal" in it - just some odd cuts of beef with tendons, tiny bit of tripe, etc. There are also a lot of the seasonings floating around in the soup, you might end up with a mouth full of lemongrass or ginger or something.

It will hold up two or three days in the refrigerator an, due to the chili peppers, get increasingly hot. Fri Oct 09 14:00:31 -0700 2009 5088889 20276 wew
