round pork simmered in creamy coconut milk with exquisite hints of garlic, peanuts, and chili, served with crispy jasmine rice for dipping: A combination of sweet, creamy, spicy, and nutty tastes a North American palate wouldn’t expect, the nataing is worth running, not walking, to Elephant Walk, the French-Cambodian restaurant in Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham. It’s a Cambodian national delight made to order. Divon

Shhhh! The Boston location was rebuilt
after a 2003 fire and Cambridge
remodeled in 2008. Another great
secret: Boston has free parking
at lunch, Cambridge at dinner.
