Bangkok 9 | This is a great bowl of tom yum goong soup
🍲 Bangkok 9: Helsinki's Massive Tom Yum Bowl That Won't Break the Bank 📍 Address:Kaivokatu 8, 00100 Helsinki (opposite Central Station, inside CityCenter) 🚇 Easy Access:Just steps from Central Station—perfect for a post-class or work lunch. 🌟 Why I Keep Coming Back: The Tom Yum Obsession Third visit, and I’m still hooked on their Tom Yum. This time, went big—real big. 🍅 031 Large Tom Yum Soup (€22) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Portion Shock:Huge pot loaded with shrimp, mushrooms, lemongrass, and lime leaves. Flavor Fix:Tangy tomato-based broth with the perfect balance of spicy and sour. Pro Tip:Share it—seriously, this could feed two (or one very hungry person with leftovers). 🍜 044 Phad Thai with Chicken (€18) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sweet & Savory Win:Tender chicken with rice noodles, peanuts, and a hint of tamarind. Texture Goals:Noodles stayed intact, not mushy—hard to find in Helsinki! 🐙 063 Crispy Squid with Salted Egg Yolk (€23) Disappointment Alert:Previous visits had creamy, golden egg yolk coating; this time, it was watery and barely clung to the squid. Silver Lining:Squid was still crispy—just needed more egg yolk magic. 💡 Ordering Strategy for Next Time Stick to Classics:Tom Yum and Phad Thai never disappoint. Skip the Egg Yolk Squid... unless they bring back the old recipe. Bring a Friend:Large Tom Yum is meant for sharing (and saving $$). 📝 Final Slurp Bangkok 9 remains my go-to for comforting Thai flavors in Helsinki. Just promise me you’ll try the Tom Yum—you’ll thank me later (and maybe need a nap after). #HelsinkiThaiFood #TomYumAddict #PhadThaiLover #Bangkok9Review
