From the absent in reviewing the food quite a while - now i'm in the market again with the new taste from Sunrise Taco - Mexican Grill which is a new Mexican theme restaurant just opened less than a month in Boeung Keng Kang Area, Phnom Penh.

When u entered the restaurant - the vibe does not really make me feel like Mexican restaurant very much.

I have ordered Classic Chicken Quesadilla price around 6$ and it does make 2 people full. The size is big and full of meat and vegetable fillings. The fillings are made from seasoned chicken with melted cheese and tomatoes salsa on a large tortilla freshly made by them in the morning. After all the filling - they grill the taco and served with sour cream and signature salsa.

The ingredients of this one are the sea shell, tamarind, garlic sugar, fish sauce, salt and msg.

Breakfast at Coca Restaurant

Today my daughter decided to have breakfast at Coca Restaurant and here are the food we ordered:

Pork Meat ball without soup for myself

Normal Noodle for my daughter

Beef Lok Lak for my husband

As usual the place is packed with people and hardly to find seats. Why because unlike other place Coca restaurant offer different and unique kind of breakfast such as abalone noodle, seashell noodle, soft shell crab noodle and much more. For what I have order is nothing special because i went there for Soft Shell Crab but  it ran out already so I have to take the pork meatball soup instead. 

For the my noodle and the normal noodle the taste and overall portion is ok but for the Beef Lok Lak is not good because there is no consistency in cooking this Beef Lok Lak.

In all it is a ok beakfast

Curry Crab at a ន ស ២ រ

Just back from the  ន ស ២ រ restaurant located near Toul Tum Poung High School. 

This plate of crab cost only 9,000 Riel which equal to around 2.5$, you know why this is so affordable? Guess what these are the baby crabs :)

The taste of this dish is nice not so strong and you can eat all with the shell and it fry with the spring onions and eggs.  

This dish does not required any special suace for dipping but if you want to eat more you need pepper salt lemon sauce to boost your appetite. In all I would recommend for a gathering there with friends as the decor and over all design is very modern and welcoming.

Let see each other there sometime.

Egg Rancheros

My husband's breakfast is Egg Rancheros, they served with gril baguette on top of fried onion, green peas, tomatoes peel with Poach egg, cheddar cheese and fried potatoes. The dish is very salty indeed.

Steak at New York Steak House

Yesterday (15 September 2012) we tried the new restaurant called "New York Steakhouse" located along street 63 near the Cambodia Senate. The parking space is quite good. When you enter the restaurant the experience is quite different from other steak house. In here they display the meat, scale and the overall decoration is dark red with lots of picture of movie star from the oldies.

There is a hostess greeting us and send us to the table. Once you been seated - they brought you the menu and firstly they asked us if we would like any water or drinks first and they gave us an ipad which is the drink menu - quite a unique menu. But unfortunately we did not order any drink or wine. Just water.

They also brought us the appetizer which is the garlic bread with the saute garlic and fois gras to enjoy with the bread 2 set for each person and when you ran out of the appetizer they brought you some more.

Seafood Platter at Fish & Co

The Fish & Co. just recently opened in Cambodia and located on the riverside.
Today, our family decided to try something new and we chose to go to Fish & Co. for lunch. The overall atmosphere is a little quiet and the server seem to be not very knowledgeable about the dishes. Fish & Co. has children menu priced at 4.99 usd and my daughter ordered fish and chips and loved thw chips which is french fries - she said it tastes great. The fish and chips served in a casserole above the fish shaped wooden panel. Quite a different experienced.

Fish and chips for kids

For me and my husband, we have ordered Seafood platter for two and it really is for 2. Order Seafood platter come with free 2 drinks, 2 tiny desserts Chocolate mousse and vanilla mousse and a casserole or a pot of seafood which includes some shrimp, indian rice, octopus griiled, clamps and grilled fish oh and there are some french fries as well.

The clams wa cooked in cream sauce and it is not for everyday eating. The octopus was slightly grilled with a spread of pepper. For the shrimps, i think they have steam them and the taste is quite bland. In overall recommendation, I would say 7 out of ten.

Prahok Katis

Prahok Katis is a famous Cambodian dishes that usually cooked during important days because to make this dishes it required quite a lot of ingredients and effort. I have a chance to try this dishes a few time at home.

The taste of this food is sweet and salty and some of the ingredients are: Prahok, mince pork, oil, herbs, garlic and some others

Prahok Katis

Usually a dash of lemon juice on this dish, will make this dish a lot more yummy.

Coconut in Cambodia

Kampot is famous for its coconut due to the sweetness of the water. On the way to Kampot Province, you can find lots of families along the National Road selling coconuts. They even wholesale to Phnom Penh. So if you are in Phnom Penh, if you intend to buy coconut, you always ask the seller that "Where is this coconut from ?" If they say from Kampot - then It is ok to buy. The price of coconut is usually range from 1,500 Riel to 2.500 Riel (0.5 USD).
