Just walked down the street to try Phnom Penh for the first time, and I'm already thinking about walking back down there to order more!!
It is definitely vegetarian and vegan friendly, just ask the standard questions and all will be good.
There are literally over 100 items on the menu, which is overwhelming but gives me over 100 reasons to go back!
I tried Chha Kreoung with vegetables and fried tofu and chose "hot" for level of spiciness. It's certainly spicy!! I can just imagine how wonderful that will be on some cold, snowy winter day. Anyway, it's spicy, but I love spice.
Although it is spicy, there's definitely a lot of other flavors going on in there. The description for this dish: "an exotic flavor, mixture of lime leaves, garlic, turmeric root, galanga root and lemon grass... stirred with onion, green or red pepper, chunky chopped roasted peanuts with steamed rice."
I had hoped I would have leftovers for lunch tomorrow, but I'm beginning to doubt that!
P.S. They *do* take credit cards for orders $15 and up (although mine was $10 they still took my card) even though the menus say no credit cards.
