Thai Soup Goodness

    A few months ago my mom and I woke up early one Sunday morning to travel to a beautiful Buddhist temple in Tampa, FL. The Wat Mongkolrata Temple is located on Palm River Rd in Tampa. Every Sunday they have a Thai Market from 9:00am to 1:00pm. The ladies of the temple get together and cook authentic Thai dishes, which they sell to the public. The food there was so delicious and so flavorful. Wat Mongkolrata Thai Temple
