In brief: We enjoyed everything but the fried chicken was exceptional

We had a little over an hour to kill for our lunch break in the East Village, and thanks to Phi, we had a really super lunch. I had heard great things about the relatively new Thai spot Somtum Der, even from my Thai food specialist friend. I had also both read and heard first hand about their crave-able fried chicken. It's nice that all the dishes are small, as we were able to try four of them for lunch. The Papaya Salad, Duck Laab, BBQ Pork w/ Coconut Rice Sticks and the Fried Chicken. Everything was quite good, but thoughts of the Fried Chicken and the coconut rice have not yet left my mind. We'll be back.
