It was in the middle of a heavy downpour when I set out to visit this popular hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant many years ago. It was dinner time, and the place was packed when I arrived, with customers waiting to be seated even at the outdoor tables despite being exposed to the elements.

If you find yourself in this kind of restaurant situation, the food must be worth the wait. After almost an hour, I took my place at one of the outdoor tables and started going through the menu. Under the not-so-favorable weather conditions, there’s only one go-to Thai dish I just had to order: a steaming bowl of tom yum goong.
