Originally Grayson and I were planning on going for Korean food but the restaurant we wanted to go to was packed and being the super hungry people we were, we decided to opt out of waiting for an hour to be seated. So we got back into the car and simply drove until something caught our eye and Indochine did just that with its HUGE banner and awning.

This is gotta be my favorite meal in YVR. Just EXOTIC! The butter beef is definitely not traditonal but definotely a chefs created dish. The sauce was complex with the high note of fish sauce sweetness, that was grounded by the tanginess of another flavour that i dont know what it is. The sweet tang was rounded out for a 2nd wave a palette orgasm with fresh cilantro and dr@ied onion. People who think phom penhs butter beef is good ( i dont think it is) will abandon it for this version. Well done!!
Papaya salad is usually NOTHING special but they knock it out of the parl with this master created sauce. It taste freshly made and vibrant. Whoever makes the sauces here has mastered the elegant balance of sweet, salty, and tang. The added beef jerky further flayers the flavour with smokieness and added mouth feel contrast of a chewiness that compliments well with the crunchiness of the papaya.
Laksa, taste pretty traditonal but im not 100% sure due to my lack of experience with it. Soup was creamy without being salty like most crappy laksa, it had hints of citrus tickling your taste buds in the lagoon of creaminess coconut broth with the final bootie spanker of spiciness( immigrant level, caucasions beware) the fresh viet herb added an anchoviness that politely cuts through the cream, citrus of this dish.
Its been a while since ive had a meal with this much UMAMI!! Well done, but on the low notes your beer menu is TERRIBLE. Id come for the food but I wouldnt disrespect my body with that beer selection.
