Greetings:

I followed the recipe posted here yesterday, as my Mom and I have been dreaming about that soup from the Tamarind Restaurant since we got off the Nieuw Amsterdam! It tasted almost exactly like it, but I remember bean sprouts... On their menu they mention mint and bean sprouts, but it's not on the posted recipe. Was this recipe from a culinary demonstration? The only item I never found was the galangal, even at an Asian market. Just a word of warning: use gloves when you cut the red chilis and serrano peppers. I burned the tips of all fingers last night, and made the mistake of putting in contact lenses this morning--major burn!!
