How about a free tuk-tuk?Alamo Cafe wrote:Now for the important part--the free stuff. Untill I post differently, Khmer440 members get one free canned beer or soft drink, or a bottle of water, with each entree purchased. OK, it's not a free car but our profit margins are not that large, either.

Take advantage of our newest special offer: All main courses (except Jalapeno Poppers, sorry) only $5 from opening until 2PM. (Please note that this cannot be combined with the previous free drink offer, but that offer is still valid after 2PM.)
Great food for dine-in, delivery, or take-away. Call 085 540 525.

you take credit card? No way I would actually go voluntarily to BKK where the bad air of PP is magnified and the stultifying air of the ngo's sticking up their noses would be insufferable.

We would love to take credit cards, but we just don't do the volume of business it takes to make them financially viable here. Hopefully, that will change someday, but before that happens we will need a larger location. (We almost had a deal for that worked out until the greedy and very short-sighted landlord decided to more than double the rent over what she had charged the previous tenant six months ago.) However, I believe you can use credit cards when ordering from n Nham24 at https://nham24.com/menu-alamo-cafe and I know that you can use credit cards at YourPhnomPenh, although we have been waiting over 10 days for them to get our menu online so I don't have a link yet. We do occasionally get buses out front but for the most part our air quality seems pretty good by Phnom Penh standards.

Our website is live! Chick it out at https://alamocambodia.com. We'll have a lot of new features coming over the next few weeks, like online ordering and Web-only promos, but we're pretty happy with what we have so far. To celebrate, we're extending the lunch special prices to orders placed before 5PM (even if for delivery or pickup later) and that now includes the stuffed jalapenos, as well. Heck, we'll even take reservations if you know you are coming, and give you this price if you make the reservation before 5:00! Just mention that you saw it on Khmer440. Your choice of fries or side salad included, and this is for the full normal portion sizes, not a smaller lunch portion. Or, take a free drink with each order all day long. We're now extending that offer to include Angkor beer bottles, but only for dine-in. We look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon.
By the way, we had a couple of comments that the jalapeno poppers were not as spicy as when we were making them at Sharkey Bar, and that they occasionally tasted vinegary. Both were accurate, and both should now be corrected as we have finally been able to get the exact same jalapenos we were buying before. (Patcan, we still want to try your jalapenos but we just don't get to the riverside very often.)

I wanted to let everyone know that we plan to start serving breakfast on Monday, and maybe sooner. Initially probably only bacon and eggs, omelettes, or breakfast tacos or taquitos, but we plan to expand that and the regular menu soon. Opening time may be inconsistent until we decide what works best, but should be between 7:30 and 8:30. I'm thinking most likely we'll add huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos, but we need time to get the recipes right. We can and will also make pretty much any special order that uses ingredients we already have. We've made vegetarian tacos, dinner salads with seasoned shredded chicken, and even put together a vegetarian Khmer dish for a tourist who wanted one. Just let us know what you want.

a real Mexican breakfast with home fried potatoes, re-fried beans, eggs, jalapenos, chorizo and flour tortillas would be wonderful

Chorizo and eggs with flour tortillas is one of my favorite breakfasts and quite possible the greatest hangover cure yet discovered. However, we're probably not going to add chorizo to the menu any time soon. Due to extremely limited refrigeration space, we're trying to choose only ingredients that can be used in multiple dishes. The only exception so far has been the top round steak we use in the chicken friend steak, but that absolutely could not be omitted and it also works well in several Khmer dishes that the family likes to eat and which will probably also be added to the menu soon.

Alamo Cafe is now on YourPhnomPenh at https://www.yourphnompenh.com/order/food/alamo-cafe/. I know for certain they take credit cards; I'm not sure about Nham24, although I do know the latter now accepts Wing. When I can get the time, I'll look into accepting Wing and PiPay directly but for now we are cash only.
Also, here's the promised breakfast menu. I'm not sure how long it will take to be available through either of the aforementioned sites, but we can take orders directly. It's a bit sparse at the moment, but more will come. Breakfast items already include coffee with a free refill, so instead of the free drink promotion we are offering 10% off to Khmer440 members (delivery charge not included). At the moment we don't have any cups for take-away or delivery that are suitable for hot coffee as we don't want to use Styrofoam, so those orders will be limited to ice coffee only.

Yes, one of the reasons our decor is a bit lacking is because we want to keep the prices down for delivery and take-away orders. We're slowly sprucing the place up a bit but it is never going to rival restaurants that spent $20,000+ in furniture and fittings and need to recoup that in profits.Edwardo wrote:Good prices.
I also want to announce that we have a couple of special items available while the supply lasts. A recent catering event got Mrs. Alamo in a grilling mood. When the chicken at the wholesale market this morning looked particularly good, that was all the reason she needed to add two new entrees:
- Chicken wings in a sauce that is both sweet and tangy. These have been a personal favorite of mine ever since last November at Sharkey Bar when she asked me to try out her new experimental sauce.
- Chicken, capsicum, onion, and cherry tomato skewers. They look pretty much like the ones you see everywhere but are far more tender than most and have a really nice black-pepper glaze on them to add some zest.
