We’ve had a few deliveries, but I’ve not personally eaten food delivered by Panda. The other half has- I ordered from the luxury of my hotel room in Belgium. She told me that the food was not as good as we would have if I went to get the takeaway myself, or if we eat in the restaurant. It’s a shame, but as I was eating a mediocre local microwave meal, I wasn’t too sympathetic.

I’m suspecting that something is amiss, but given that most can’t find the address when we are standing 3meters above them and yelling at them, it’s no great loss not to use them. If I ordered food from a normally good source, and garbage turned up, I’d be around there in a shot to find out why.

Sher-E-Punjab is our go-to. Occasionally, some rough looking barangs turn up , but it is Phnom Penh.
They (Sher) take an order over the phone, and the fella delivered by moto personally, a few nights back. Otherwise, I just take a short walk.

It’s rare to get swmbo to try anywhere else. She does prefer the Naan from a little place near phsar Kandal. I hear good things about Namaste, so I need to drag the brood over there.

Last night, I introduced them to aloo gobi. Delicious, and as ever rather unlike any aloo gobi eaten elsewhere. Fundamentally the same, but different.

But when I can get the elder lad eagerly munching curry and aloo with garlic naan, and the little fella eating all the poppadums, I feel my work is progressing well.
