Oh no, not another picture of the salad! Yep, salad is fresh and decent, the dressing isn't very exciting but it's OK.

Grilled Pork or Grilled Beef Nam Tok (น้ ำตกหมู, เนื้อ) ($9.95). "A spicy salad made with your choice of grilled meat cut into thin strips rather than minced with similar dressing as Larb". This time I went for the beef but again there was no hint that it had been grilled. I asked for it Thai authentic and the waitress told me that she told her mom in the kitchen to make it as they do at home and it was delicious. Really good mix of flavors with a good amount of heat. Nothing deadly, just very pleasant. Normally this is served with rice or sticky rice but having rice with a salad seems strange to me and it was enough food for lunch anyway,
