Sandan is a training restaurant for street youths to gain safe and legitimate employment and run by a non-profit organisation. Hence the staff here are very attentive, and while they may not be fluent in English, they try their best to learn through interactions. Food is a fusion of local and western flavours, like my buffalo lok lak with quail eggs and sweet potato fries. The dark sauce was salty, peppery with a hint of garlic (think black pepper sauce), the meat chewy but not too tough. Sweet potato fries weren't as crispy as I'd have liked. The dish comes with a unique dipping sauce that tasted like sour plum, lime and chilli combined. Dessert was cashew nut crusted banana fritters with chilli coconut gelato - the crust was quite thick with not that much banana in it, though I really enjoyed the gelato, kinda like frozen sweet curry.
