Pok Pok – South East

Finally went to Pok Pok with my roommate the other day. This has been on my list of places to go since I moved here… not sure why it took me so long.

Tamarind Whiskey Sour – Tamarind, Fresh Lime Juice. Palm Sugar, and Bourbon on the rocks

Really great cocktail. Love my whiskey sours and the tamarind was a pleasant change of pace.

Ike’s Spicy Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings

These are like famous around here. Now i know why. not really as spicy as i was hoping but the flavor was explosive.

Khao Man Som Tam – Green Papaya Salad with Coconut rice & Sweet Shredded Carlton Farms Pork.

This was awesome. I ordered due to the recommendation of our server, and wasn’t really expecting to be blown away. I have to say though, this is one of my favorite dishes in Portland so far. The green papaya salad was incredibly spicy  but the pork and coconut rice was sweet sweet neutralizer.

Muu Sateh – Carlton Farms Pork Loin Skewers Marinated in Coconut Milk & Turmeric, Grilled Over Charcoal and Served with Peanut Sauce, Cucumber Relish and Grilled Bread

I didn’t try any of this but the cucumber relish kicked my roommates mouth in the ass. Definitely makes my list of one of the best meals in Portland. I cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.
