| - When we walked in, there was only one guy working. I don't mean one waiter, I mean, there was the waiter, who was also the busboy, who was also the chef. I love restaurants like that actually. It feels homey.
I've never had Cambodian food and so we asked the owner to give us some recommendations. He suggested we try the pan fried noodles. We got the pan fried beef noodles, Cambodian spicy. I almost died.
The spice is not the kind of spice that just tickles your mouth. This is the kind of spice that rocks your world and then stays. It's the fact that it stays that really overwhelms your mouth. So I had to get one of their fresh smoothies to help cool down my mouth. I got the guanabana, which I had never had before. I always like to order things that are different and new, but when I don't like them, I tend to hand it over to my boyfriend. I wasn't a huge fan of the guanabana. It is very light, barely sweet, but has this strange after taste. I described it as fishy, but my boyfriend says he couldn't taste it. I guess it's a matter of taste.
Overall, the experience was okay. I liked the food, but the smoothies weren't really my thing. Also, I think because I didn't drink it and my boyfriend did, he ended up getting sick. I don't think it was anything wrong with the food, but the guanabana is some crazy beast. Drink at your own risk.
But despite that, I'd still definitely come back. The food was good. I'll just know what to avoid in the future.
