Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

Three dishes fill the collage: yum nuea, a spicy beef salad with cilantro and tomato; khao soi, the curry noodle soup topped with crisp noodles; and a red rice-vermicelli curry with pork blood.

Roger wrote out every dish and what it is — Burmese-influenced Northern Thai curry, rice vermicelli curry with pork blood — which says he went looking for regional Thai cooking on a Vegas trip and ordered accordingly. The restaurant is not named, so the dishes carry the record.
