Honestly, it’s been exciting for me to take a break from Korean, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine to explore something unfamiliar with me: Southeast Asian food.
After experiencing Indonesian food a few weeks ago, I was looking forward to trying the Phnom Penh street cuisine at critically lauded @nyumbai.

1. Koh - caramelized pork belly, bamboo shoots, fried egg, simmered in coconut water, ginger, palm sugar
Pork belly just melted and broke apart. Loved the way the creamy yolk caressed the rice and became one with the broth. I haven’t had Cambodian food so unsure if the dish is supposed to have a sweet aftertaste.
2. Fried chicken with ginger sauce
The ginger really makes this the most refreshing rendition of Asian fried chicken as of late. Batter was perfectly crispy without being oily.
3. Kuy Teav Phnom Penh - rice noodle soup in pork broth, sliced brisket, minced pork, shrimp, herbs, crispy garlic, lime, meatballs
Wow - clean, homey soup that was comforting and not salty. Kept drinking it without getting taste fatigue.
This quick introduction has me intrigued. Are there any good Cambodian spots in LA?

My last meal in Oakland was my favorite one. Welcome to Vientian Cafe where the cuisine is a mix of Laotian, Cambodian, Vietnamese.
Absolutely loved the Nam Kao, deep-fried rice that has the crispy texture of paella socarrat.
The fried tilapia was flaky and tender with a mild gravy that deliciously blanketed the whole dish, seeping into each crevice of the fried skin.
The yellow curry was also pretty mild (is this a trend in Laotian cuisine?) Not as boldly flavored as Thai curry and a little too watery for my preference since I’m used to creamy coconut milk.
The next two dishes were awesome. The Laotian sausage was packed with spices and juices and we ordered a second one because it was just that good. Ribs had a nice, smoky flavor which was perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the red chili sauce. One of Oakland’s gems!
