I ate lunch at an Asian Mall in the fast food court the other day. I decided to have Tom Yum soup as pictured from a Malaysian/Thai place. The dish came with a different type of drink called barley water which I had never had before. It tasted slightly sweet and was simple and plain. I didn't mind it at all. The Tom Yum soup on the other hand was VERY spicy. I've had it before, but at a different place and I didn't remember it being that spicy.
I noticed quite a few business people there having lunch. In fact, 2 gentlemen next to me were conducting a serious business lunch and debating on sales strategy. One guy was having a bowl of delicious looking Vietnamese food, and the other got Pad Thai noodles. It was an interesting lunch hour! Yum!

The two look interesting. I haven't tried either. When I order Thai food, I always ask for mild. With my stomach issues, I need to be careful of what I eat.
The soup looks delicious, my mouth is watering. I love spicy stuff. Never heard of the barely water though.
Sounds good! We used to get barley water to drink in England when I was small, especially if we had been ill, as it was supposed to be very healthy! Valerie
when we had an exchange student from Japan stay with us she kept a jug of this barley water in the fridge all the time, it was quite refreshing, you had a very interesting lunch,
Now, did your torrential rains inspire your post?!
The storm came our way, but living in a wetland, but up on a hill, I must go see if the water level has risen!
What a storm.
Greetings from Cottage Country!
I first read it as "barely water" and was like "lol what?"
My girlfriend and her family are Laos, I need to ask them if they know what Barley Water is.
I found Tom Yum soup to be a bit too salty for my taste. I can't remember ever having barley water.
Pad Thai and Pad See Euw are my favorite!!! Gosh... I haven't had those in such a long time. Doggone it! Now I'm hungry!
