The menu also strays into Western flavours, but the authentic Cambodian dishes are the
ones to go for. Our pick is the Char Kreoung chicken or beef with lemongrass and lime,
or the delicate Amok steamed and curried fish. On Tuesdays from 6.30pm, the restaurant
hosts a buffet (per person $28). Booking ahead is recommended.
