5. 2-3 stalks of lemon grass (ketuk hujung dia)
6. Kaffir lime leaves (daun limau purut)
7. Seafood of choice , recommended - lala (clams), crab, squid and prawns
8. Veggies - to your preference but i like to use straw mushrooms
9. Thai sweet chilli paste (you can buy in supermarkets in bottles, tutup biru)
10. Nampla (fish sauce)
11. Lime (for the juice)
12. Chicken stock/ fish stock/ water oso can
13. Coriander (daun ketumbar) - chopped

Method
1. Throw in the onions, lemon grass and galagal into the stock/water and bring them to boil
2. Add about 3-4 tablespoons of the thai sweet chilli paste (i like to put more, more kawww!)
3. Add the tomatoes, chillies, and kaffir lime leaves and put some fish sauce for taste
