Pros & Cons
Cons
The medium was too big.
Highlights
Quality
The 4 main ingredients that cant be missed are kefir lime leaves lemongrass lime and a good quality fish sauce
Exactly as advertised and this stuff lasts us forever
Inflation but still beats going out to eat because a lot of this stuff can be cooked at home and be just as good as restaurant ... Read More
As for the tomato it’s added in right before your lime juice so that it’s hot but not falling apart
Price
I was a little nervous about trying this product but decided to buy it because a small serving of tom yum goong is 8 at the loc... Read More
For the price i think it’s pretty okay
Packaging/appearance
It came in a plastic pouch inside a plastic container
I think it’s good enough to just follow the directions on the packaging
Competitiveness
I use the 3 crab brand of fish sauce because nothing else beats it in terms of how both umami and fishy it is
This is similar to making thai curries from the paste that comes in tubs just like this paste
Its savory and tastes the most similar to the tom yum soup from archis thai bistro from las vegas in my opinion
The soup i made at home is just as good if not better than the restaurants

There is an ingredient that tom yum soup uses called nam prik pao or a really deep flavor spicy paste made with a lot of love which is hard to make from scratch
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Every single nam prik pao will taste different depending whos making it whats in it and which region its from savory vs sweet i prefer savory
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its why there are so many variety of tom yum pastes on the market ranging from cans packets to glass jars since this already includes some form of nam prik pao in it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its also why every restaurants tom yum soup will never taste alike assuming an authentic thai restaurant will make their own saucespastes but who knows
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Many other fish sauce ive tasted are always oversalty and not enough umami
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You still have to add some extra ingredients to make the most out of this paste as possible to make it restaurant quality

The 5th main ingredient is the protein itself of course
