Tom Ka Gai

Last night, me and Sandra went out to dinner at my favorite restaurant in Huntsville, which is Surin of Thailand. I love everything about it, from the amazing martini bar (with top shelf liquor), fresh sushi and their huge entrees and it is set in an amazing, modern, dim atmosphere. The one thing that I order almost every single time along with everything else I eat is the Coconut Chicken soup. I don't understand how it has such an amazing flavor and makes me want it everyday of my life. Anyways, I think I am ready to try making it at home. I am going with this recipe, so please cross your fingers, as I try this over the weekend. Here is the recipe that I am gonna try and if you are in the mood, you should try it too!
