Night Market+ SongLocation: West Hollywood, CaliforniaIt feels funny to venture beyond the densely packed neighborhood of Thai Town in search of the best Tom Yum Los Angeles has to offer, but one trip to Night Market + Song and you will be so far transported, you won’t care what your coordinates may be. Tom Yum, the classic brothy soup, is quite literally a soup and salad mash-up. The Thai word “Tom” means to boil, while “yam” refers to a Thai spicy and sour salad. This the Thai take on hot and sour soup, characterized by its generous use of fresh lime juice, lemongrass, makrut lime leaves and galangal, a Southeast Asian root most reminiscent of ginger.Too often, Tom Yum made in America is prepared with more sugar than it needs, making it syrupy over tart, but not at West Hollywood’s Night Market + Song. Their take on the classic is delicate, fragrant and well-positioned to outshine your mother’s chicken soup on any winter day. The setting does well to round-out the experience too. The kitschy interior plays off the aesthetic of Thailand’s hawker markets, while the food mostly hails from the North of the country where the food is a little less four-alarm fire spicy, and features tons of veggies, pork and the beloved larb (a minced meat salad). -- source link
