Breakfast at Khmer Taste

Our hotel in Siem Reap is just a few minutes walk to Pub Street and the Old Market so you can just imagine the restaurants, food carts, food vendors that we pass by every day. And eating seem to be a daunting task especially with all the food choices- from traditional Khmer cuisine, burgers, pizza, grilled food, and exotic ones such as grilled tarantulas, snakes, etc.

But one restaurant that captured our hearts (or tummy) is Khmer Taste because we ate there twice. We didn't really plan to eat there but since we were scouting for a reasonably priced laundry service (that's another story), we end up eating at Khmer Taste which was like 3 stores away. 

Food was so good, that we decided to eat breakfast there the following morning (Stay tuned for our Khmer Taste dinner). 

I'm not really a breakfast person so I just ordered sunny side-up + baguette + sweet Cambodia  coffee which costs me $1.75. My friebd had the scrambled eggs plus coffee which is basically the same amount. 

The bread was freshly made and warmed to perfection, crusty and soft at the same time. Perfect with butter. The coffee also tasted great and my only complaint was that the cup was small so you need to order another one if its not enough for you. 

Another hightlight at Khmer Taste aside from the food is its fish spa which costs only $1 for unlimited time. This fish spa is way, way cheaper than the ones near Pub Street and has a time limit. 

To sum it up, Khmer Taste is a great restaurant, a reasonably priced one that serves good food.

SIEM REAP: Midnight Dinner

Because we arrived late and rested for a while at the hotel, it was almost midnight when we went out for dinner. Of course, most restaurants are closed by then so we ended up eating noodles in one of the numerous "carinderia" on-wheels along the street near Pub Street and the Night Market area. 

I ordered beef noodle soup which is similar to the Vietnamese pho. Broth was very flavorful and tastes refreshing because of the herbs. It also has tons of holy basil and tamyao which I really liked. This costs USD$2. I washed it down with bottled water bought from the convenience store nearby. A liter of bottled water is worth $2.
