Kway Tiew Nahm Sai (Clear Noodle Soup)

Kway Tiew Nahm Sai or Clear Noodle Soup is one of the most basic Thai noodles soups but don’t be misled with the word basic as this dish packs a lot of flavour. Just the soup alone is enough to make you crave for more and the key for making its soup taste really good are pork bones, radish and spices.

The piping hot soup is then poured in a bowl with rice noodles, minced meat, fish balls and an assortment of vegetables such as bean sprouts and kailan.

It is simple, it is light, it is a complete meal, it is delicious, the mixture of flavours and aroma is simply phenomenal. I guess I can’t further explain how good this is so I leave it for you to try.
