Went to a hole-in-the-wall Southeast Asian restaurant for dinner tonight. It was definitely the kind of place that gets by on good word-of-mouth. The storefront looks pretty desolate and run down, but the food was delicious. The glassed-in back patio was an extremely pleasant surprise, and the "Beer Chicken" was a definite winner. Papaya salad was also excellent, and the lemongrass beef was also worth another go.
The waitress gave us these strange candies with the bill. They has an almost butterscotch-y creaminess, but also an earthy, fruity flavor. I can't put my finger on it. Tamarind maybe? The scan didn't come out too well, but the wrapper is metallic brown with magenta, silver and yellow.
