The Pha Lau Cart Where Every Bowl Is Cut With Scissors | Come Eat With Me

Come eat with me at a cart on the corner with red stools all around it. The beef tripe and honeycomb have been sitting in a thick orange coconut-curry sauce since the afternoon, and when you order, the vendor lifts a piece out and snips it straight into your bowl with a pair of scissors - broth over the top, herbs, chilli sauce, and a torn baguette to dip. Then a sushi counter, a noodle workshop, a ramen counter, a fish hotpot over open flame, nem nuong over coals, and com ga chopped over rice. No narration, no staging - just the food and the sound of the street.
