Dining in the Dark, Now in Siem Reap

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Blind dining comes to Siem Reap
26 December 2018
Picture the scenario – you’re seated at a dining table in a room so dark you can’t see the cutlery and a plate inches before you. A server enters the room; the tantalising smell of your freshly prepared meal fills the air.

Placed in front of you, your senses heightened with your vision eliminated, the source of the aroma remains a tantalising mystery to you as you place the food in your mouth.

This is the experience offered at restaurant Dine in the Dark (DID), which after a successful opening in Phnom Penh three years ago has now arrived in Siem Reap town.

“Complete darkness is very hard to find on Earth. It can only be found in deep underground caves, where not everyone has the chance to go. Being in total 100 per cent darkness is already an experience in itself as you lose one of the senses you are used to rely on the most. You then have to rely on all your other senses,” said DID’s public relations manager Sophie Clemenson.

“The taste of ingredients are really different when you don’t see them. It is very fun for the guests to try to guess, make their assumptions, and then discover what they have eaten,” she added.

A great idea. Should one wear their best dining out clothes on this night out or not, and would it be appropriate to comment on the hair style and dress
Spoiler:
and big boobs
of the lady at the table across the room.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Don't you eat in the dark in Sinoville a lot anyway with power outages so what is the attraction of paying for it?

I have done this and was completely underwhelmed. In German we say that one also eats with the eyes and I certainly fall into that camp.

I know of a British saying.
“Fit on the telephone add 10 stone”

It’s true I fear.

Meaning if a girl sounds hot on the phone (or in the dark) she’s not!
