Between our visit to Angkor and our visit to the Museum of Angkor, we had two lunches:
Sadly for the first lunch, I have no notes.
Possible similar to a fried wonton?:
Soup:
Fish, vegetables, and rice:
Fruit for dessert. I cannot remember the dish to the right:
The second lunch (fortunately this time, I took a picture of the menu):
Deep fried chicken with sauce:
Vegetable Korko creme soup (Green papaya, jackfruit, pumpkin, eggplant, ivy gourd, long bean, cream):
Stir friend chicken with ginger and Khmer field rice:
Dessert was (wait for it...) - fruit!:
Beautifully presented. And with real silverware and glassware! I hope it was as good as it look.
ReplyDeleteLeigh, it really was. We had nothing but great food both in Cambodia and Vietnam.
DeleteThanks for the answer yesterday TB, now for today's query.....cost of second meal?
ReplyDeleteNylon12, I do not really have an answer for that. It was part of the tour and a pre-planned meal; my guess is that it was significantly lower than what would have been paid for a similar meal in the West.
DeleteTo this day, my wife still finds many U.S. desserts to be overly sweet because she grew up in a country where fruit was usually the dessert.
ReplyDeleteEd, interesting observation. I will say that I would be more likely to eat fruit as a dessert if I generally had more tropical style fruit, which I found to be sweeter than most of what I associate as fruit here in the U.S.
