When the rainy season arrives in Bali, evenings in Seminyak call for warmth, spice, and comfort.

At Eden Hookah Club Seminyak, the Tom Yum Soup stands as a signature highlight—an aromatic dish priced at 140k and served with rice. This bowl blends Thailand’s culinary heritage with Eden’s modern lounge dining, making it a perfect choice for rainy nights.

Origins of Tom Yum

Tom Yum Soup (or Tom Yam) is one of Thailand’s most iconic soups, known for its hot and sour profile. The name itself reflects the cooking method: tom meaning “to boil” and yum meaning “mixed” or “spicy-sour” (Eat & Geek).

Its origins trace back to central Thailand, where it began as a rustic broth simmered with local herbs. Over time, the soup evolved into two major variations: Tom Yum Nam Sai, a clear broth, and Tom Yum Nam Khon, a creamier version enriched with milk or coconut milk (Tom Yum Kung).

Ingredients and Flavor Journey

The most common proteins include shrimp or mixed seafood, with mushrooms, onions, and coriander adding body and aroma. A final touch of nam prik pao (Thai chili paste) often gives a smoky sweetness .

Cooking is brief and intentional: the aromatics are simmered just long enough to release fragrance, seafood is added toward the end to keep it tender, and fresh lime is squeezed just before serving for brightness .

Eden Hookah’s Twist

At Eden Hookah Seminyak, the Tom Yum Soup is transformed into a complete entrée by being served with rice—turning a traditional Thai soup into a more filling meal.

The kitchen elevates the recipe with premium seafood: fresh prawns, octopus, and scallops, alongside shiitake mushrooms, onions, red chili, and coriander leaves.

Guests can complement the dish with other items from the Seminyak Main Course menu, or enjoy it as a starter before sampling the Seafood & Light Dishes.

For a complete evening, pair the soup with one of the signature blends from the Hookah Menu, turning dinner into a full lounge experience.

Perfect for Bali’s Rainy Season

The rainy months in Bali often bring cooler evenings, and Tom Yum Soup is an ideal companion. The chili and lime bring warmth and invigoration, while the seafood provides nourishment without heaviness. Its bold fragrance turns a rainy evening into an opportunity for indulgence and comfort. At Eden Hookah’s stylish lounge, guests can enjoy this iconic dish while listening to the gentle rhythm of the rain outside.
