Since nobody has started a thread on le fooding in Cambodia, I now have. Feel free to add your own pics and stuff or request recipes or whatever.

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.

Image

Followed by El Padron.

Image

Followed by 1800.

Image

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.

Dinner at Wasabi, a relatively new (just under 1 year old) Japanese restaurant:

All you can eat buffet, at the moment 17USD/ person promotion.

Prices at Wasabi?

It certainly looks cleaner than the 'other' place, where a cockroach crawled out of a colleagues' salad..., and that was about $75/ head. Obviously high-class cockroaches.

This was the 17USD, all you can eat, buffet dinner. Some nigiri sushi, sashimi, an oyster, a smallish lobster, the steak in the picture, salads, stir fry broccoli, kimchi. We ordered a couple of rounds of everything and it was enough. All can be reordered until you burst, drinks not included (and the beers are expensive at 3.50 for a Kirin (no Asahi) or Tiger or Heineken and 2.50 for an Angkor).

Bonez you son of a gun! The pics are taken with my handphone, that's why they aren't the usual quality ;)

Let's see you do better.

Have you signed up for judging at the cook off?

I'm having a quick home-cooked dinner tonight, which consists of baby spuds I'd cooked at lunchtime and then had cold this evening with mayo, plus chicken wings I'd marinated at lunchtime and had then left in the fridge all afternoon so I could quickly griddle them tonight. Plus a knocked up green salad.

Total cost = approx $1.70
