BKK 78 Street Food

Ran into this tent during a visit to Desert Hills, was intrigued by their unique taco offerings. They offer Thai-inspired tacos like Tom Yum, which I had to try. I was also curious that their menu did not have prices listed, and frankly I was taken aback when an order of taco and their green sauce (which came highly recommended, according to their menu) came up to 20 bucks. But I digress, I was already committed to try their food.

Firstly, the food was prepared individually, one batch at a time. The meats were already cooked, only needed a quick sear with the right seasoning. My Tom Yum taco came with generous portion of shrimp, which was seared with Tom Yum sauce, garnished with cilantro and fried shallots. The taco reminded me of an actual Tom Yum soup, which was a good point in their favour. The green sauce gave a good compliment to the taco with slow burn (my wife still felt the burn minutes after we were done eating), but not necessary to enjoy the food.

So the Tom Yum taco was a great dish to try, though I still wonder if it was worth the price.
