It comes with crisp, fresh lettuce, so you can make little lettuce rolls with the delicious Mieng Pak Gad as filling. It was total tastebud titillation.
The Papaya Salad went along very nicely; it had a fresh crunch, slightly tangy, and was accented with fresh tomato, green beans, and cashews:
For mains, I had the Tum Yum soup; all the ingredients were very fresh and the broth was wonderfully aromatic:
My friend had curry fried rice; he ordered it with eggs, but you could also order it vegan by requesting no eggs:
