@conmitaco has become a fav #yycrestaurant of ours, and when Quin, being Malaysian born, heard their featured taco was Malaysian Soy Chicken, we had to try it before it was gone.
The bed of coconut rice was the perfect backdrop for the chicken, but it was their house-made sambal belacan that transported us to the hawker stalls of KL.
It was our first time dining in, and when we saw #ceviche on the menu, we had to try it! The first bite took us back to Peru where we first fell in love with all-things ceviche. Replacing the hard-to-find Peruvian corn with peanuts added a creative twist while staying true to its roots.
Or course their Mexican tacos were delicious as always, but what was so surprising was how this wonderful, authentic meal could bring us around the world ... a much needed vacation of the mind during these crazy times.
