Mr. C: At the time of the Chili off(s) at CH, Toni and I were not the best of friends (RIP Tony.)

User: You are going towards the Golden Lyons Circle on the main road. You have just passed KFC/Lucky-Ocean supermarket on your left. Just to your right will be a side road (just past the school). Take a right and go down and the road makes a 90 degree to the right. Half-way down the block on the left will be a green metal fence with a small sign that says Missing Monkey. Welcome to Monkey Marks, he opens after 4:30pm.

As to me finding MM. I don't get out as much as I used to (I love where I live, set myself up with a lot of projects , and am 3 min. walk to the beach. Why would want to go set in a bar all day like many my age? ) I had heard about MM for a long time and it took me awhile to go find it even though I had passed it many times. His sign is so small and its kind of a hidden bar/restaurant. The steak was a real find and brings me back, and the place is really laid-back. Love the micro-brew Ale also.

On Dan's Meats Sihanoukville "fillet" steak. (the ones in the cryo-packaging.) I buy them all the time to make a grilled "London Broil" with mushroom gravy or teriyaki beef with ginger, soy sauce, brown suger, onions. Having run restaurants/kitchens in restaurants I recognize what these "fillets" were the first time I saw them. They are beef sphincter muscle, you know the muscle that opens and closes the sphincter. It is a very overlooked cut of meat due to where it comes from on the cattle. Its nice and tender with small fat content. I used to run the kitchen in the biggest Mexican restaurant in the Pacific Northwest of America(early '70s) and I used this cut of beef for taco meat. I'd have my cooks marinate 50 to 100lb in Mexican spices, char-gill the outside and then roast it in an oven with spices. When cooled they would use a commercial chopping machine called a "buffalo" (Hobart brand) to chop it up. Great taco filling.

I also buy sliced ham at Dan's in Sihanoukville.

Thanks for the directions. I'll check it out next time I'm down that way. :thumb:

Looks good . The only way to order a steak imo is hot and tender . But you will end up a fat bastard if you eat too many,

TRUMP STEAK:

Another great monster steak, micro-brew-ale and port wine at Missing Monkey/Monkey Marks. This was doubly sweet in that it was free (to me). An expat friend from OZ who lives in Snookyville bet me that the Hildabeast would win and Trump would lose. God! I love being right, specially when a slimbag like Killary loses and I get a monster steak, ale and port wine out of it. "Its not if you won or lost, only that you won." Go President Elect Trump!
See! Trump is already doing great things for us Americans.

BTW, Mark has hung a lighted sign out front that says "Steak" which makes it much easier to find MM. Also, Mark has a rare (in Cambodia) bottle of Ron Zacapa Rum from Guatemala. (Sistama Solera 23). Real expensive by the shot, but you only go around once so try it. (I paid $100. for a bottle of it in OZ last year and was glad to get it.) In America I had a friend that traveled to Mexico a lot and he turned me on to this exceptional rum.
