After 3 weeks of voting and crunching through various flavour combinations and ingredients, home-grown Singapore gourmet snack company The Golden Duck (TGD) announced the winning recipe of their ‘The Great Snack Showdown’ campaign as voted by snackers worldwide – Tom Yum. This rendition of Tom Yum is reimagined into a gourmet snack pack coined ‘Bangkok Tom Yum Goong Gourmet Mix’ – featuring a juxtaposition of sweet, sour, hot and salty flavours in a tantalising blend of three unique ingredients in a pack: Lotus Root Crisps, Oyster Mushrooms and Shrimp Chins.

Collaboration with Blue Elephant Royal Thai Cuisine

TGD’s very own snack chef – Chef Maui, and Chef Noororfrom Blue Elephant Royal Thai Cuisine came together to reimagine Thailand’s signature dish as a gourmet snack with real flavours and real ingredients. The masterful recipe collaboration contains over 16 real ingredients and spices in one snack, from kaffir lime leaves to galangal to capture Tom Yum’s distinctive flavour.

The Tom Yum Goong Gourmet Mix features three unique ingredients carefully tossed in an aromatic blend of Thailand’s best hot and sour flavours. Enjoy a new take on the beloved Tom Yum recipe with the sweet, crunchy Lotus Root Crisps, earthy and buttery fragrance of the Oyster Mushrooms, and complete with the addictive Shrimp Chins that bring out a rich umami flavour. Also making a debut is TGD’s first-ever spice booster pack for snackers to hack and enjoy Tom Yum in their preferred mellow, or intense way.

We tried it, love it and can’t stop snacking once we took the first bite. The three assorted ingredients provide variety to the texture and flavours and it felt like three snacks rolled into a beautiful blend.

TGD is said to have assembled its newest snack meticulously from individual ingredients, gaining rich insights into the culinary techniques and traditions. Easily one of the most complex recipes from TGD’s R&D kitchens, Tom Yum Goong Gourmet Mix was finessed for over a year in TGD before perfected by Chef Nooror – one of Thailand’s top chefs and an ambassador for Thai gastronomy and ingredients for well over 40 years.

As voted by snackers all around the world, Tom Yum was the winning flavour chosen by over 12,000 snackers, earning 38% of the votes, while Laksa was a close second at 33% and Beef Rendang received 29%.
