APAD 202: Do not snub this sign

I often see this sign along St. 51 (Pasteur St.) on my way to the Filipino store but I dilly-dally in going because the sign may be attractive but the interior looked dark and dull and lacked the oomph factor. However, because me and a friend are adventurous (to some extent) that we decided to give it a try.

And we were in for a surprise.

Boran is a Khmer word meaning “traditional” so immediately we thought that they are serving Khmer traditional dishes/cuisine. We were mistaken; the place offers Thai food. Small  but clean. Needless to say, we loved the food there. We ordered pad thai and green curry and we were so satisfied.  Very reasonable price for authentic Thai dishes. Highly recommended.

APAD 182: Going Vietnamese

The signs looks, errmm, green, lol. Although the sign says Vietnamese the characters are in Khmer script. The lacklustre sign belies a great selection of Vietnamese dishes that are value for your money.  Fancy Vietnamese cuisine?

They serve the largest banh xeo (a savoury Vietnamese crepe with sprouted mung beans, ground pork with sweet-sour dipping and a favourite of mine) I’ve ever seen and the best-tasting beef with sesame. Yum!
