Tom kha gai

Thai coconut-milk and chicken soup whose name describes the cooking (tom), the galangal (kha) and the poultry (gai). The silky broth marries coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice and fish sauce, milder and creamier than tom yum. Fragrant and comforting, it illustrates the balance of Thai flavours in the refined cuisine served in palace hotels.
