| - I have now gone to Phnom Penh Twice. The first time was the most intense dinner of my entire life (explained later) and the second made me realize how wonderful having a resturant this true to its origin is.
I went to Phnom Penh the first time because i love, crave, and miss thai food. Its just a type of favor, spice and type of food that once you eat for an extended period, you miss all the time. So we went. And i did not read the reviews on this site (or i would have know), but i asked for advice and ordered what the very wonderful server suggested (i have never had cambodian food-wanted to try that). AND because i have now been to several thai rest. in america since i got back, i was a bit arrogent. I know that even at Thai rest. that if you order "really spicey" They still don't give you thai medium. So i ordered and said "make it as spicey as you can". HAHAHAHAH- i laugh no because i finaly have regained feeling in my mouth- three months later.
I almost died and was convinced for about an hour that i should be rusted to the hospital and treated for spicy death syndrum. i ate a total of 3 bites. I was so embarressed, i swore never to return, got a to go bag of my entire meal and left.
Of course i went back. BEACUSE, even under all that spicy, there was something really good about the food, i kenw it. Especially since they know how to ACTUALLY spice their food, they must know how to ACTUALLY cook thai/cambo. Food. The second time i got the veggie spring rolls (AMAZING) and spicy beef soup (AMAZING AMAZING- An entire meal). I am SO SO SO happy i have given them another chance and i have SO MUCH MORE FOOD TO TRY!
My husband had a dish that had nuts and peanut sauce over chicken and TONS of veggies. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD!
i love the food and happy with my lesson learned. They have good food, clean environment, and i actually have been to the wood village that the carvings on the wall are from. Its an amazing place. They hold VERY true to customs and traditions in the cooking.
