Re: Golden Crown Buffet Restaurant, Sinhanoukville
Can't blame it all on just short sightedness on the local restaurant owner. It's endemic in society, coming from the top down. The local sees the okhna with no skills, no education, yet getting loads of money for doing nothing, well he wants to aspire to that, too.
But once good service and quality product becomes a prized value - i.e., owners can charge higher prices (i.e., make a decent profit without working with no pay for a few years), packed restaurants, etc., attitudes will slowly change.
Just my 10 Riel worth.

Re: Golden Crown Buffet Restaurant, Sinhanoukville
i used to run the new night market on occheauteal, i told the vendors to stop selling the stuffs as other vendors as selling, told them to source for new things to sell, but they wont listen, just says that those items are only items that can sell, so now all closed down. short sightednessnewkidontheblock wrote:Can't blame it all on just short sightedness on the local restaurant owner.

Re: Golden Crown Buffet Restaurant, Sinhanoukville
The Golden Crown, was that the one mentioned in last months Bayon Pearnik, bits on the beach page of having its own brewhouse? Loads of shiny Stainless vat looking things but is it beer they making? Is there any doing Five men beer or craft round there thats not bloody Chinese?
Went to one Chinese restaurant on the Beach road last week, just for a look what they can cook. There were several in a row. The one at the end had no customers but the others before had quite a few Chinese sitting outside. But I saw a girl I recognised that worked previously at a mates bar at this end one, so said to her and the staff who all looked and spoke Khmer ''have you got a menu'' They just looked at each other, giggled, said no. Then the Boss (i presume from his attitude), a plump bald Chinese dude came quickly outside as he saw me chatting to the staff. He looked at me unsmiling and said '' What?", just that, not welcome or anything courteous !. I said "you have menu?" He said just one word, 'NO". I repeated ''you don't have a food menu?" He just muttered no and just turned on his heels and hurried back inside to his customer-less room like I was holding him up from watching his favorite soap or porn channel. I thought, what an obnoxious c*#t!. If they all treat customers like that fuck em!

As a person that has brewed beer for over 16 years, I didn't see any brew equipment at the Golden Crown Restaurant. The beer seemed to be a watered down brew or was the swill-from-the-hill made behind Snookyville. I didn't get the "wort" beer making smell either. Wort is the boiling mash (mainly barley, but as in the swill that is Bud. , rice.) ) that is the start of making beer.
It took me almost two days to get over being sick from eating at this place.

Re: Golden Crown Buffet Restaurant, Sinhanoukville
I ate in the golden Crown on the Saturday after it opened. It only cost me $10 a head, $5 for kids, well, not all of them as when one is being a little shit and hairing round the place it doesn't get billed for. No shits for me later and it was heaving. I drank some of the yellow beer fluid out the tower and it tasted like sweetened Anchor. You do have to fetch it all yourself, yes, but is a buffet. No flies noted, they had chefs prepping with hats and it all looked pretty clean. Guess it's gone on a steep downhill since then. The bouillon was fish one side, meat flavour the other, BTW. My major beef was the stinginess of the real meat, it was weird meatballs, coloured food tubules and veg mostly trundling round, with the occasional tiny crab. You needed ninja skills to get to the meat slices as they were like rocking horse shit. I prefer Roman's place, Samnang, although it is a bit warm with a fire instead of a hot plate, they sell real lager and you can skip past the rabbit food and stuff yourself on real, recognisable bits of meat.

Should I wonder why this review sounds less partisan than sailorman's ?cptrelentless wrote:I ate in the golden Crown on the Saturday after it opened.
