Thanks. Maybe we will try again.

Just came across a couple of food blogs - and in addition to Vietnamese and Combodian - seems some in the Big Apple like Lao food (similar to Northern Thai with the national dish being "Laab") - such as offered at Mangez avec moi. http://www.mangezavecmoi.com/ Or you can just try the "or" - one of the bloggers favorites: :)

"And then there was my personal favorite, a moist mushroom-spinach-longbean-chicken sauté called or. Part of the magic seemed to be the combination of two types of mushrooms with fresh greens, but most of the brilliance came from the blend of dill and hot peppers, which are two of my favorite seasonings on any continent. Both seasonings in one dish? I was in heaven."
