If you are wondering what Pakchi Leaves is, i can't answer it yet because I too searching on what do they call it exactly. When you look at it, its similar as Sup Leaves. I even order from my mother in law from Kelantan! You can't find it here. Weird.

The spicy of the tomyam sup is depended on how much of Cili api you put in. You can put chicken and cut beef to add more variety and would definitely taste even better! I will upload some pictures of the tomyam i did.

But in the mean time, best of luck trying this recipe and let me know how yours become!
