Did any of them ask you if you had a bigger boat?Spigzy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 6:23 pm Haha Brody, not sure whether to worry about Mrs. Spigz meat-cleaver, or your hooks! ... Sometimes that bar-girl, she looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a bar-girl... she's got lifeless eyes!

Do the steaks look like this or worse?Spigzy wrote:However, would add Larry's steaks & salads are excellent value for the money.

Better.
I still don't get the bullshit of one sprig of broccoli, one of cauliflower and a carrot with two ice cream scoops of sloppy texture-less mash. Whichever sick bastard started that trend should be shot; I first encountered it at the Pickled Parrot maybe 13 years ago now & every new bar that serves vegetables seems to be equally stingy.

This is the restaurant steak I’m used to having. If that’s what Larry’s steaks look like, I’m going.Spigzy wrote:Better.

Here's another thing Larry's gets right. You order your food and they immediately put the computer printout of the check in front of you. When you'r ready to pay, you just hand the girl the check and your money. It cuts out the most time consuming and tedious process of eating in a Cambodian restaurant, which is finding a staff member when it's time to ask for the check and then waiting for that staff member to go and get you the check. As well as sitting there neurotically wondering, "Did she just see me when I asked for the check or do I have to ask again?"

It would be so much easier if you just asked for the cheque, then you wouldn’t have to worry about checking if she understood that you wanted the check and that you weren’t just doing a check up to see if she is still alive.Cam Nivag wrote:Here's another thing Larry's gets right.

No checks involved when you ask for the cheque. Bloody Americans.

Do khmer staff understand Americans when they ask for the cheque and wave their hands around like they are signing an invisible, floating cheque?

Slow down little world, you're changing too fast.
Re: What happened to the food at Larry’s?
Agreed. Wrong colour, wrong cooking, wrong quantity, wrong price.
