food in cambodia

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in sihanoukville, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

Too much fuffing around with the deco for me. Nouvelle Cuisine has been dead for 25 years, thank God. Someone should tell the Chef at Topaz.

To me french food, (yes the presentation is great), is not only overpriced, but not filling at all

Not quite right, Nouvelle Cuisine was an aberration.

But think Blanquette, Hachis (a little like Shepherd's Pie), Onion Soup (with a thick cover of pastry and cheese), Cassoulet, Confit, Gigot d'Agneau, Fondue, Tartiflette, Choucroute garnie, Boeuf Bourgignon.

Fark, I am hungry now.

amuse bouche, escargot in wine reduction

A huge plate with a dollop of something in the middle. Why? Why not just buy smaller plates?

How much was the amuse bouche, escargot in wine reduction?
... give 'em a quick, short, sharp shock ...

Too much.

I call it fairy food. Some wanker who thinks he 's designing fashion in Milan applies it to food. FAIL.

Well you certainly can't on your so called budget. But then again your only a attention seeking pineapple.
