Hey there, 

Wanted to spread some joy in my adventure today. W/photos. 

I should have saved some vendor IDs but alas i am a newbie here and only realized that was a thing toward the end. I think i tried 7 stalls total I think. Would have done more but was tired and solo so ate a ton anyway. 

I tried one of the smaller meat skewer stalls in the middle first. The ladies were quick and attentive. Straight to business.  With a small line i waited 2min tops. Great start. Pork and beef skewers. Loved both. Full of flavor and marinated. Think i prefered the beef which was a great surprise since i tend to like pork more. 

2nd stall was the Laotian stall toward the back. Had a stuffed wing, sausage and coffee. Everything was great. Strong herbal flavors and some bite in the sausage. Coffee was good too. Reminded me of the classic Vietnamese style. 5min wait. W/small line. Fairly organized production. 

3rd. I went to the Cambodian stall beside it. Tried a fritter that was muffin shapped and had mung beans as well as i think fish and herbs. Also a gummy pancake.  Both were good. The fritter was my prefered snack. I also grabbed a prawn crispy pancake crepe thing which was delicious with a squeeze of lime and papaya salad. I could eat like 10 of those. Very friendly people. 5 min wait on the prawn crepe. 

4th. I had a lovely passionfruit fresh sugarcane drink.  No wait and very friendly folks. Bit sweet for me but thats expected. 

Then i went to a thai spot that was a bit dissapointing. Friendly folks. 30min wait with a small line,  another person there said they were waiting 40min for noodles. I had ordered this bamboo, rice, bean dessert which wasn't very exciting and chicken satay. Toward the end of my wait i realized he had put my satay in an air fryer. I was so confused as there were grills for the stirfry noodles right there.  Havent tried that one yet but it doesent look exciting...also 10 dollars for aur fried chicken satay. Weird thing to find there. The noodles looked good tho. 

Next I tried one of the two skewer places in the back which had larger lines.

Tried to get stuffed wings again but after waiting 30min i realized they were on back order as many were waiting on them and instead i just got beef sausages that were really good and full of intresting flavors!  Just a shame i didnt know the stuffed wing wasnt close to being ready. 

Lastly i tried a stall toward the front that had coconut balls. These were delish. There were also a few stick options i tried that were just okay. One was fish cakes i think and one was two types of tofu. Quick and affordable. Id get the coconut balls again. 

Cant wait to go back!
