Flavor: Shrimp Tom Yum
Country: Thailand
When Seen: July 2019
In a Bite: Tangy and salty, but missing the spicy notes that are normally found in actual tom yum soup.
In a Haiku: Like a Tony Jaa; kick in the mouth of sour. But where’s the chili?
Origin Story: Like green curry, shrimp tom yum (aka tom yum goong) is an obvious choice by the Lay’s flavor department to kick off their Thai Taste series.
