Nice drink, but I won't reveal the place you can find it, because they don't deserve publicity.

Everything with Fries

The Girlfriend and I went on an "excursion" to the east during the weekend and came across "Everything with Fries". The curious taste buds ordered the Vanilla Mille Crepe and Garlic and Herbs Straight Cut Fries.

The place mat was simple, functional, minimalist and rather cool.

I liken the Vanilla Mille Crepe to a westernized tribute to kueh lapis. The vanilla cream sandwiched between the thin crepe oozed out invitingly at every bit of pressure applied on the top-most caramelized layer.

could hardly taste the Garlic and herbs though. More like some generic chilli flavoured powder with fries. Nice bite to every piece of the fries though.

The edible bit.

Cambodia0047

With the layer of husk removed.

The texture is much smoother and softer than the usual canned variety. Tastes rather bland but refreshing and slightly sticky with a little hint of sweetness.

Fresh Lotus Seeds

Cambodia0043

The lotus pod has this rather fibrous and rubbery texture to it. Tear it open to get to the seeds.

Cambodia0044

For the lotus seeds that we are familiar with, just tear through the green layer and you will get the fresh lotus seed that has a mild and pleasant sweetness to it. Just remember to remove the bitter tasting heart from the centre.
