Fried Caulifower

Chiles, mint, delfino, fish sauce. ($11)

 

Notes: This is truly as good as everyone says it is. This dish was not only flavorful, perfectly executed, and satisfying, it was fun to eat.

 

The cauliflower had a nice golden crusty outside, but was perfectly cooked - still a bit firm - on the inside. What really made this dish for me was the fish sauce-based broth with a tinge of sweetness that flavored the whole dish from top to bottom. Everything else was icing on the cake - from the fragrant delfino that perfumed the whole dish with a grassy cilantro-like aroma, to the crispy rice puffs that contributed a nice fun crispy mouthfeel.
