About me:
When it comes to choosing a restaurant, I always want a second opinion, so Yelp used to be a perfect solution (even though I never thought I would post my own reviews). Although their ranking system seemed overly manipulated, Yelp was a convenient source for restaurant info, so I constantly referenced it. But when highly rated restaurants on the site began to fall flat, I was inclined to set the record straight. Over 50 yelp reviews later, I had had enough and decided to create The Confoodant, a place where a network of trusted food enthusiasts could grow and post their opinions.
Is it just a blog?
Confoodant.com is still in development, but the network of confoodants has already begun to grow and are invited to post their reviews on The Confoodant blog until the real website is up and running. The blog doesn't provide the features that the full site will, but just think of it as a temporary home to start sharing restaurant tips with people you trust (and who trust you).

Our waiter let us try every wine by the glass before picking out our bottle, which ended up being a delicious recommendation from the bartender. The pickled watermelon salad with pork belly is one of the greatest things I've ever eaten and poached bass in a coconut broth with noodles was unique and memorable.
If you don't like loud club-thumping music while you're dining, then I would stay away, but the atmosphere otherwise, is quite charming.
Also, I got there at 8:15 and didn't have to wait to be seated.
We started with the Green Papaya salad which was was very good for SE ASIAN in NY. The "Fatty Duck" was excellent. The kind of dish that lingers forever in my mind, and will draw me back. The Fish Laksa I did not enjoy. This is not to say that it was a bad dish by any means. I think it may have been a truly authentic Malay Laksa. It was pungent and tasted of fermented fish and bait fish. Very different. Price wise it was an excellent value for the neighborhood.
The music is a bit loud, but in a way that makes it feel like a party. The food is delicious AND fun (great combo). For example, the quail's egg shooters -- a set of tiny raw eggs you have to shoot! They're great, once you summon up the courage. Also, the fatty crab. Fatty, yummy, crabby. I sent a leg flying into someone's leather jacket, and got it all over me, but was it worth it? Like there was ground cocaine in the sauce, yes! Come ready to party and you WILL have a blast (sometimes literally).
