Stop 02 · Cambodia
Sugar browned without flinching, pepper, meat glazed in the wok: Asian Road brought back from Cambodia the taste of salted caramel, and serves it at 9 rue Laurent Fauchier, right behind the courthouses.
Let's be clear
Asian Road isn't a Cambodian restaurant. It's Southeast Asian street food with no fixed country, borrowing from five cuisines — Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia — what each does best.
After Vietnam, the road runs through Cambodia. It's stop 02: the stop of sweet and salty. A cuisine that dares to brown sugar with fish sauce and pepper — sweet on one side, salty on the other, never in between.
What we brought back
Not a copied recipe: a line of flavour, slipped into a menu that mixes the stops.
Sugar left to brown without fear: sweet, salty and peppery, it catches in the wok and glazes the meat.
Over there, it answers the sugar and the fish sauce. Here, it keeps the caramel sharp, so it's never flat.
The flavour that comes straight from it: “Crisp-tender wok chicken, coated in an irresistible sweet-and-salty caramel sauce.”
Cambodian style
A bit of buzz outside, the kitchen in sight, and a flavour caramelising right before your eyes: the spirit of Southeast Asia's night markets, Aix edition.
Rice or noodles, five bases readable at a glance at the counter. Then the flavour: the Caram'Chicky, if you want the Cambodia stop.
Over a high flame, the sauce catches, coats, glazes. That's where the sweet and salty come together, in a few seconds.
About three minutes, and the box is in your bag: at the office, on a bench in town or back home.
