The dish comes with a crystal glass bowl of grapefruit juice to drink", "a sliced steak salad.  The tomato, scallion, mint, and basil is all very welcome, but there are two stars to this dish.  The first is the meat, thin-sliced but ample in quantity.  The second is the spicy dressing, derived of fish sauce and livened up with a bit of lime, garlic, and sugar.  The scallion in the salad is specifically the white parts of the scallion, making the ingredient function as a stand-in for onion.

This extremely spicy dish does not come with a salad.  It's mostly meat, and is particularly popular with kalla attending at Korloave's, even though by a quirk of the kalla tongue they can't taste the raw heat of the dish.
