Kampuchea
Pickle Plate red radish, red cabbage, daikon cut 2-ways, cucumbers. cukes had some serious heat. Daikon too sweet for me. Red cabbage bland, but good texture. Red radish was my favorite.
Grilled Corn with Mayo. My guess is that they were boiled first, then grilled? The mayo had some heat. Drizzled with coconut and mayo. Too sweet for me.
Grilled Pork with honey glaze, with rice. Nice.
Chicken Crepe with basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, butter lettuce. Nice texture. Not sure why you wrap twice, but I know nothing about Cambodian food, I won't ask.
Oxtail Sandwich. The best Asian sandwich ever. The vegetables serve the salty meat nicely. Apparently Chau uses a particular bread which is a mix of semolina and wheat. It's bread that won't hurt your mouth. It's bread that remains chewy after it's been toasted.
Chicken Katiev. Clean broth with a nice kick. Thai green chilies kicked my ass. Didn't like the ultra fine noodles.
I find that Chau does good work with meat. His rubs are all his own. The filet was expertly cooked. The oxtail was wonderful. The pork was perfectly marinated and grilled. Even the chicken in my katiev was moist and flavorful. (Usually, meat in broth is a place where you can hide stringy, overcooked, bland meat. Not here.)
