Recommended Dish A Dish to (Un)Die For
Posted by Susan Ellis on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 9:36 AM
On Saturday, after the Southern Women's Show, Pam Denney and I went to the Emerald Thai Restaurant.
I hadn't been there in years and was looking forward to trying it again, and Pam was craving their rich Tom Kha Kai soup.
Soupwise, I opted for the Tom Yum Veg.
Yowza, this is a delicious soup ... and one with consequences!
The soup has a tomato-rich broth and is filled with mushrooms and broccoli and other vegetables. Its chief characteristic, however, is its chili-spiked heat.
It not only cleared my sinuses, but I'm pretty sure it was the catalyst for a crazy, epic dream I had that night.
It involved: black kittens in the toilet, my childhood home, and a former coworker and his dad. My dogs Cricket and Violet were there, as were tons and tons of drooling zombies(!).
I cannot wait to get another bowl.

dislikeI love the Emerald too! You gotta get some sticky rice with that soup to kill the heat!
The Devil's Nest soup from Tao Too is hot and delicious enough to inspire the following haiku:
Oh, Devil's Nest Soup!
Holy fucking shit that's hot.
Oh god, I'm dying.
