Ahmok (Chicken)
- Cambodian
Steamed chicken breast in coconut milk, lemon grass, collard greens and
other spices. It's very soft, with red flecks on top, reminiscent
of paprika. It's not pudding soft, as I've heard it described,
but the texture is pleasant. And the broth its in is good to
drink afterwards. Another nice thing? They ask you if you
want brown or white rice. (For us health nuts.)
Would I try again?
No. I was good, but not
different enough to warrant a second order.

Cha Chrok Spey
- Cambodian
Pickled mustard greens, served with your favorite meat (from seafood to
beef, whatever your vice...)
Would I try again?
Yeah. At first, it seemed too salty. But the damn dish grew
on me, slowly becoming the second best entree of the night (after the
mango salad). Yummers. Give it a try.

Cha Krom -
Cambodian
Green mussels, marinated in a ginger sauce. Friends, you ain't
gonna find mussels larger than these. The ginger flavor is
subtle, but it's a very nice dish...perfectly situated in MA, home of
seafood specialties.
Would I try again?
Yes..though honestly, it didn't have the punch that I like in my
meals. But that's me - I'm a sucker for strong flavor. If
you like something a tad more subtle, give this a shot. It's
definitely a plus fior seafood lovers...

Cha Krung Sach
Kow - Cambodian
Spicy beef. Diced peppers, beef, and onions...dressed in a a
spicy sauce. As a pescetarian, I picked around the beef, but the
sauce and veggies seemed nice. My husband, the omnivore, liked
the dish - so give it a try. For me, though...? It seemed
like a decent spicy dish...but not much to differentiate it from a
million other ethnicites...even just your basic, spicy Chinese/Sichuan
Chinese. So it gets a mildly positive review. But nothing
amazing.

Says: Spicy beef dish
- was balanced in its flavors, while the spices weren't overpowering
for the beef or vegetables - something you rarely see in dishes today.
Would I try again?
Yes - though not in a hurry.

Cha Krung Sa
Mot - Cambodian
Spicy seafood dish - yummy, with very tender, soft cuts of
seafood. The spices were somewhat subtle (and didn't explode in
your mouth.) Sorecommended, though not amazing.
Would I try again?
Yeah...but not ahead of the mango salad (see below.)

Chom Sway -
Cambodian
Oh my GOD. To my mind, this was by far the best dish from the
trip to Floating Rock...a
tangled, juliienne salad of smoked fish and mango...a complex mix of
lime, sweet and sour flavors that just puts Sripraphai Thai to shame. Oh
WOW. If you are ever in Massachusetts, you owe yourself to give
this stuff a shot. It's the sorta stuff you'd eat
every day, if only it were available at your local bodega...or if you
knew how to cook decent Cambodian food.....!!! (Yeah, right...)
Would I try again?
YES! 3.92 stars!

Lort Soup -
Cambodian
A clear soup of veggies, with a side order of bean sprouts and short,
chunky noodles (that look somewhat like beansprouts themselves).
Not alot going on with this soup, but it was filling and satisfying
nonetheless. And if you like it spicy,you can always dress it up
with various extra sauces, from fermented shrimp paste to your basic
hotsauce. My friend Brian loved this one....so give it a try....
Would I try again?
Yes - occasionally. Seemed tasty, and ever so healthy....
