I never would have caught this place, despite living so close to it, if it hadn't been for an invite out from my Khmer in-laws. They took us out there 1 night back in December.benda34 wrote:
What about;
- Tonle Bassac for the buffet thats 13-15 bucks (and I've been to a similar place near Exchange too)
It was not a high end buffet, but that is more than okay in my book as it doesn't mean low quality/bad tasting food. It was like 12 or 13$ , correct. The place was packed with locals, out of the 200 people there, I saw 1 other foreigner, another good sign in my book most of the time.
The food was great. I got the chance to try small portions of many different foods I typically wouldn't order an entire meal of. I was most surprised by the fried crocodile, which I thought would have an entirely different texture than it did.
I was just thinking about taking the missus there this weekend. You should do yourself a favor and check it out. Also, make sure you go very hungry
For anyone who doesn't know, Tonle Bassac is located at Mao Tse Toung and St 163. Cheers
