Goes without saying of course, but the opportunity for restaurant wallet rape down here is fabulous. So many little places on the doorstep that require no effort to seek out.

What Butternut Squash ?
Just behind the deep-fried Mars bar.

Got it !
Black sesame ice-cream. Pleasant but I hoped it would be a bit more mad.
Not on the same level as the palm sugar ice cream in Som Saa @Jim .
Forgot to snap the main, a black cod dish. Again nice, but they didn’t have my first choice which was Piri Buta - a marinated pork belly and vegetables on an iron skillet.

Made this last night with cod. Not the exact same recipe (the one i did used dried fenugreek leaves soaked) but essentially the same. Very simple very tasty
Beef Rendang.
It doesn’t look very good but it was cooked slowly for nearly 5 hours with braising steak and shin.
Tastes fucking lovely despite the similarity to a babies nappy.

That looks spot on to me. My wife cooks need rendang regularly.
Sambar tonight, cobbled together from these two recipes (mainly the first, but using the other for spice amounts rather thanking a big batch of sambar powder).
