Phnom Penh House

I've heard so much about this place. A lot of the people that I work with seemed to really like this Cambodian restaurant. So finally, I was lucky enough to be invited to dinner at this restaurant!

The Cambodian ice-tea and eggplant with sauteed pork and shrimp were highly recommended. As it was a cold night, we needed some soup, so we ordered the basil lemon grass chicken soup. T wanted to try the fried noodle, on the menu it says, "Char Khytiw", but it turned out to be just like Pattai, but hey, it was really good so a name is just a name! The egg plant was awesome, before it was cooked with the pork and shrimp, they had charbroiled the eggplant so you could really taste that BBQ burnt taste in the eggplant. Another dish that we ordered was the chicken curry, it was not bad, it was a really light curry so that was good.

As usual, the portion is more than enough for 3 person but I just couldn't stop eating while my friends happily busily chatting away....towards the end, I was really ready to go to bed at 8pm *burp* :)

Aaaah..... life's good. Love the people that I'm with so much!
