Tom Kha Soup（トムカー） $3.50
ココナッツミルクのまろやかなスープ。レモングラスとガランガル（タイの生姜）の香りが爽やかで、カレーのようなコクがありつつ後味は軽め。寒くなるこの季節にぴったりです。
WilliamsvilleのEvanstown Plazaにある、タイ料理とベトナム料理のお店です。パッタイやカレー、カオソーイ（北タイのココナッツカレー麺）など、メニューが豊富。ベジタリアンやヴィーガン、グルテンフリーの料理もあり、アレルギーにも相談に乗ってくれます。気軽に立ち寄れる雰囲気で、友人同士の食事にもおすすめです。
Located in Evanstown Plaza in Williamsville, this casual spot serves both Thai and Vietnamese dishes, from Pad Thai and curries to Khao Soi, a Northern Thai coconut curry noodle soup. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available, and the staff are happy to accommodate food allergies. Our pick this month is the Tom Kha, a creamy coconut soup with chicken, mushrooms, galangal, and lemongrass. It has a curry-like richness but stays light and fragrant, perfect for a chilly October day.
