- Asam Prawn: Another must-try, these tamarind prawns are notable for their impressive size and the explosion of tangy, savory flavors they bring to the table. The sauce is a delightful mix that leaves a satisfying taste lingering on your palate.
- Fried Pork & Bak Kien (Lobak): For those looking to complement their curry, the fried pork garners high praise for its crispy texture and rich flavor, while the bak kien is a tasty addition that rounds out the meal.
- Stir Fried Bean Sprouts with Salted Fish: A simple yet delightful side dish that carries the umami flavor through every crunchy bite.
