"Just about anything from this restaurant's jungle menu will satisfy heat-seekers, but the The tam muk houng phet phet is especially spicy. This Lao papaya salad made with an assortment of Thai chile peppers, shredded green papaya, fish sauce, cherry tomatoes, lime, shrimp paste, crab paste, and dried shrimp packs a whole lot of funky flavor." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
