[Mali the Spicy]

Hello, there!

I am called Mali the Spicy.

All of my dishes always amaze

my customers with their tempting scents and deep flavors.

I am especially proud of my

Tom Yum Goong, which is the

best in the village. I suppose

it's my fate to cook the greatest Tom Yum Goong ever.

Oh I see...

You want me to cook

Tom Yum Goong for you,

don't you?

Honestly, I've been really

busy ever since I opened this restaurant. If you really wish to taste my Tom Yum Goong, would

you do something for me?

First, would you get

the ingredients to make

Tom Yum Goong for me? I'll need some Shrimps, Chiles and Lemons.

Remember, Shrimp is the main ingredient of this dish. So, the fresher the Shrimp, the tastier your food will be.

I expected you

to ask me that.

For Shrimps, look around

the beach. You should see

a lot of them there.

However, you might have a hard time finding them since you haven't done that before. So just buy some Shrimp from the guy who sells

the freshest Shrimp around.

Hmmm...

If you mention

my name, that guy

might give you a discount.

His name is Thongpool.

He will be somewhere around the village selling Shrimps. Go and ask him to give you 20 Shrimps to cook Tom Yum Goong.

I understand this might be difficult to do, but it's worth

a try if you really want to taste the best Tom Yum Goong.

Errr...

What's wrong with these Shrimp?

They all have these scratches and rips in them! I can't believe Thongpool sold such bad Shrimp

to his customers!

I'm so sorry, but

I can't cook the best

Tom Yum Goong with

these Shrimp.

I know it's an inconvenience, but would you go back to Thongpool

and ask him to give you the freshest Shrimp to cook the best

Tom Yum Goong?

Ah, you came back!

Now, let me see what

you've brought. Hmm...

These are...

The freshest Shrimp that

I've been looking for! Well done~

With these big and fresh Shrimp,

I can cook the best Tom Yum Goong for you! Thank you so much!

It will be a perfect food with the natural sweetness of the Shrimp, the sourness of Lemons and a little bit of fish sauce!

Oh... Right.

But we only have Shrimp.

Now, I want you to bring

me some Lemons.

A few days ago, I saw a good

Lemon tree while taking a walk.

But this tree belongs to an ordinary man who's not a Fruit Merchant.

I'm not sure whether

or not he'd sell Lemons

to you, but you can try,

I guess.

What a stupid...!

If you quit just because you really hate sour flavors, you must not be that eager to have my Tom Yum Goong!

Once you taste my

Tom Yum Goong, you'll

regret what you just said!

Huh...?

What did you do

with the Shrimps?

You didn't eat them

on the way here, did you?

Make sure you ask

Mr. Thongpool to give

you 20 Shrimps.

Now hurry~

You think these are

the best quality Lemons?

Take a closer look!

The skin of these

Lemons lack luster

and they don't even smell

fresh! They're just

common Lemons!

Welcome back!

Wow, you came back

really fast! Okay, let me

see the Lemons

you brought?

Wow, great!

These are really fresh Lemons!

How could you bring all of these by yourself? Thanks for your trouble~

Now, you should go buy

some Chiles and some

other materials in the Market.

When you talk

to the Merchants

in the Market, they

will know what you want.

See you in a bit~

It's your call.

But remember...

The Shrimps might go bad

while you're taking a rest.

What did you

do with Lemons?

all on the way here, did you?

Alright...

I'm counting on you

to get the best Lemons

from the guy that owns that tree.

Somehow, you've got

to get those high quality

Lemons so that I can make

some Tom Yum Goong!

I don't understand...

Where did you get these

bad ingredients?! Didn't

I tell you that my

Tom Yum Goong

requires the best?!

I know you've been working hard to do me this favor. I hope you'll put forth that last little bit of effort to finish this.

[Malli the Spicy]

Please go take a look in the Market. I don't doubt that it will be a good experience. After all, my fantastic Tom Yum Goong is waiting for you!

Now...

Everything is all set!

Before we start, let me

check the materials.

Shrimp, Chiles, Lemons...

Fish sauce and other little things...

Perfect!

Shall we begin?

Wahahahhhhaaaahhh!

.........

Here's your

Tom Yum Goong!

Ah~ This taste,

this scent... Yeah.

I know I did a good job.

Do you know what is the secret of Tom Yum Goong? It isn't simply just food. This has the power to heal you, and help you get into better shape.

Because...

It contains the

power of God.

Okay...!

I'm giving you

10 Tom Yum Goong

free of charge~

Thank you for all the trouble that you have been though to get these ingredients. It would make me happy if you shared Tom Yum Goong with your friends.

Share the flavor of Ayothaya, and let them know how beautiful our land is. It was good to see you, take care now~

Huh? What did you do with the Chiles? You didn't eat them all on the way here, did you?

Hmm...

You seem to be carrying too many things. Why don't you free up some space in your inventory first, and then come back?

Ah...!

So busy, so busy!

My customers never get tired of

the taste of my Tom Yum Goong!

Heh heh heh~!
