Grateful 169

I'm grateful for: Local specialties like lok lak! What is lok lak? Wikipedia says: "Lok lak is stir-fried, marinated, cubed beef served with fresh red onions, served on a bed of lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes and dipped in a sauce consisting of lime juice,[7] sea salt and black Kampot pepper (tek merec).[8] It is the Cambodian rendition of the French-influenced Vietnamese dish Bò lúc lắc, but retains a distinct Cambodian edge with the dipping sauce tek merec, and the requisite garnishes of plenty of salad leaves, barely ripe tomato and sliced onions."

What do you really need to know? It's incredibly delicious! My favorite local specialty from Cambodia!
