| - Holy mother of mary, jesus, and any other gods you can think of, the food is hot!! But then, I should have known better than order it extra spicy. My other two dining mates knew better and ordered their food medium. But, being the snob that I am (kidding, I am a very pleasant person in real life, this is all a persona), I had to say "make mine spicy, extra spicy".....oh, and they did. I can hear the conversation going on in the kitchen:
Waiter: two mild, one extra spicy.
Chef: Extra spicy? for real? nobody orders regular spicy and this one wants it extra spicy?
Waiter: Yep, the Indian ova there probably thinks he is da sh*t. He thinks he can handle our spices just because he is Indian.
Chef: oh hell no!!
Waiter: Let's show him some Cambodian love, with extra spices
Chef: I've got it covered. Just make sure he doesn't start screaming after the first bite.
Waiter: I've got the fire extinguisher ready
So, our food arrives. I ordered the Taprom: sweet and sour flavored Cambodian dish with fresh mushrooms, onions, scallions, napa, green peppers, in a light lemongrass sauce, and tamarind, with chicken....extra spicy. The dish looked RED. I tells ya, it looked like fire. And then I took the first bite with some rice. mmmm, tasty. Took few more bites. Mmmm, chomp, chomp...nice....wussies, they were trying to scare me with their spice factor.
That is when the fire hit. First my lips started burning, then my tongue, then my throat, I felt like my insides were on fire. Damn, that felt good!! I haven't felt that good since I ate in the motherland. This is what real heat feels like and I am glad I ordered it. Needless to say, I finished the entire dish. It was incredible.
My friends got the Chha Kreoung Ma Rass Prowt. I know, right?!?! Let me explain it to you. It is an exotic flavor, mixture of lime leaves, garlic, turmeric root, galanga root, coconut whip, Mass Rass Prowh (a special vegetable from Asia), and lemon grass; stirred with onion, green or red pepper, chunky chopped roasted peanuts with chicken and served with rice. They ordered it mild...wussies!
That's right people, the food is not only good, it is complicated!!
Let's just say the dish with complicated name was incredible. The flavors blended quite well giving it an indescribable taste. It was phenomenal. The chunky roasted peanuts drizzled on top made it extra special.
Overall, an out-of-this world dining experience in a very unpretentious setting. Love the simple and beautiful decor. Service is impeccable, they came often to check on us. In fact, for a second, our waiter got worried when i started to sweat. I had to assure him I am OK.
One last bonus point: it is BYOB.
Totally worth setting your insides on fire!
