I managed to get up early, one Saturday, and grab a bite at one of my favorite Thai restaurants. Although the sun was blazing, a hot bowl of noodle soup fit the bill. This one's a hard (although not 'bad') habit to break.
#56) Tom Yum noodle soup with thin rice noodles, medium spicy. This soup delivers all the elements of Thai food I love, with a punch! Sour, salty, sweet and spicy. Pork, pork and more pork! Topped with peanuts and a generous sprinkling of pork cracklins. Needless to say, my sensitive tummy only allows me to indulge in this soup once in a while.
Possibly the best coconut juice I've ever had, next to the real thing. No sugar, no pulp.
I highly, highly recommend eating at their Larkin St. location. Don't let the neighborhood deter you from the great food. Although avoid ordering Chinese-type dishes --they're bland and unexciting, in my opinion.

Strangely enough, I love their Tom Yum Goong, but am not a fan of their Tom Yum. Go figure...
Anyway, that place is amazing.
They go heavy on the fish sauce, with a strong porky (almost gamey) flavor. Perhaps this is where we part.
I have to try the tom yum goong next time. Damn, I'm craving this right now!

Hi Tallulah, thanks for your comment! I'm reading through your posts, and as an island girl, I'm especially loving the one on Gaza surfing and Doc Paskowitz. Aloha!
