Sauce is way too sweet, no hint of herbs like basil, thyme, oregano...anything, and the pasta is typically flavourless and sticky, sometimes very squishy. Last plate of spaghetti I tried here had a bunch of sliced carrots on top, not sure what that was about.

Growing up one of my friends was 1st generation American (from Italy), so his mum always made sure Italian food was done the Italian way. I've never been to Italy, but the way she cooked seemed to emphasize more tomato, herbs plus cheese (real cheese, not the powdered shit), and olive oil on the pasta to give everything a real fresh natural taste. She almost never seemed to use sugar or salt if I recall and I suspect adding gobs of sugar and tomato paste in the sauce would have been a bit of a no no.

So that's what I'm used to in terms of Italian food, no idea if it's authentic, but it's way too dissimilar from the stuff here for me to enjoy the Cambodian version as Italian food.

Btw, I've only tried Khmer versions of spaghetti from maybe 4 different places, I've not been to any upscale Italian places to eat out.

Same goes for a lot of foreign food here actually. I like hamburgers, but I hate Lucky burger, Burger King, etc.

This was spaghetti cooked at home, she hates it. Denies it's the same as noodles.

Do you reach ketosis? I made it for one week.Clarity of mind & energy level through the roof but was running Tren & Test alongside. The bulk add & strength gains were amazing.
One week later the energy crash came. Managed to keep 25% of gains post cycle.
