Jenn Harris reviews Sophy's: Cambodia Town Food & Music, a decades-old Long Beach restaurant where the sauces are pungently addictive on the Cheesecake Factory-long menu and beef jerky is the star.
Pepper-smeared strips of beef jerky fueled countless late-night study sessions in my college dorm room. I enjoyed the leathery, stringy belts I ate on road trips as a kid to Las Vegas, Palm Desert or wherever my parents drove us in my mom’s cherry-red Volvo station wagon. A bag of Trader Joe’s turkey jerky keeps me satiated on long international flights in economy. I am not above gas station beef sticks.
It’s blended with an onslaught of shallots, grilled garlic and lemongrass, but its severity remains immutable. The slices of raw eggplant, cabbage and green beans presented with the dip help mellow, only slightly, the rank thunderbolt that hits your tongue. This stuff will make your eyes water and you’ll keep coming back for more. The tuk kreoung Khmer is tamer, made with boiled fermented fish and grilled fish.
