So far so good! I'm a big fan of Garage Bar in Phnom Penh. It's a normal bar cum restaurant on St. 110 on the first block off the river. You'll recognize it by the big flashing sign outside depicting a banana. Seems to be a symbol of Velvet Underground.
The owner is the same guy who had the original Jungle Bar before it was sold to the guy from Bangkok. So he already had a clientele to start with.
It now has a fairly good range of food, ham- and cheeseburgers, hot- and chillidogs, fries, Cuban sandwiches, Cuban reubens (Cubans with sauerkraut) and last week he added some comida mexicana, burritos al pastor and tacos/ tortillas (hand made of corn) with three different toppings, al pastor, spicy beef chilli and chorizo.
So here's yesterdays dinner:
Started with a burrito al pastor. Good. A flavour I have missed a lot in Cambodia returned, cumin.
Followed by tacos/ tortillas handmade of corn. Chorizo flavoured in front, spicy chilli at the back.
Followed by El Padron.
Followed by 1800.
Had another tequila later on. Pacifico seems to be the beer that goes down best if you're going for the full Mexicanian Monty!
Don't know how they get Pacifico to Cambodia... You can get the watery tasting Sol and Corona easy enough but there are only two places with Pacifico, one of which is our man JM's Garage
Garage Bar, St. 110.
