Phnom Penh was our first stop right after arriving at the airport.  L wanted to walk down memory lane as this was a usual spot that he would patronize when he was studying in this town.

This dish was superb! They first pan-fried the noodle with soy sauce before submerging it in with the rest of the ingredients.  It brought out the best flavors.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Being a French colony before, we thought going to a French restaurant in Siem Reap would make sense.

The restaurant is located away from the the central market and restaurants in Siem reap.  The place was very quiet and hard to find in the dark.  It has a cute quaint setting and decorated with middle eastern carpets. A definite bargain for a very good fusion of Khmer and French cuisine.

Beef noodle

Grill Fish

Egg noodle in soup

 The restaurant itself was small and it was painted a bright orange with really cheap drinks.

We got a free plate of fruits but did not finish it as we're not sure how long it was sitting out for.

Open-air street view seating - great for people watching.
