AMAZON Luke Young
This place has the feel of a small, “old Phnom Penh” barang café. The menu is small yet diverse and due to its location close to a bus depot there is a constant flow of customers stopping in for a bite before travelling. The breakfast menu is the largest, with many different kinds of toast sets such as with scrambled eggs for between $1.25 and $3.50. There is also a section entitled “Quickies & Take Away” for between $1.25 and $3. The snack menu includes a six-piece spring roll set for $3.50, cheese rolls for $2.50, French fries for $2 and shrimp beignets with French fries for $3.50. There is also a lunch/dinner menu and an Asian menu, both of which range anywhere from $3-$5. The Asian menu has a few traditional Khmer dishes such as plear sach koh, which is a salad with vegetables and herbs that can be had with either beef or shrimp for the affordable price of $3.50.

BISTRO ROMANO Clive Graham-Ranger
NagaWorld has hit on yet another way of showing people it’s not just a casino with bits on the side but an upscale place for wining and dining on a budget in plush aircon surroundings. On Saturdays all-you-can eat oysters are yours for the ordering in its Aristocrat Bar and now from 11am to 3pm on Sundays in its Bistro Romano, alongside the regular and comprehensive menu, the buffet is a steal at $25. Of particular interest to relaxing social diners and drinkers is the chance to neck as much Prosecco (Italy’s answer to well-made dry sparkling wine) as they can while working their way through the groaning buffet. The selection changes every week, but a sample list includes grilled tenderloin on saffron pear relish, ginger jus and mango salad, pan-fried seabass with a seafood ragoût, pork stew with leek and apple soft polenta and chicken roll with lemongrass on a skewer on a bed of pesto risotto.

MASTER SUKI SOUP Luke Young
A restaurant that has left its mark on Phnom Penh in both popularity and location. A great family event there are 40 types of meatballs and slices to choose from at an average price of $1.70 per serving, which contains between five and nine pieces. There are 22 vegetarian items with several unusual kinds of mushrooms for taste-testing. In making selections for your soup there are duck and pork sets in small and large sizes, seafood salads, as well as 15 selections of meat and rice dishes for between $2.40 and $4.80. Drinkwise there is a selection of juices and smoothies priced from $1.20 and $1.90 and a drink the likes of which is not easy to come by. It is the unusual and oh-so-Asian, saphiophy smoothie, made from the distinct and tastefully electrifying saphiophy fruit. For a meal of individual taste expressed through suki soup, these guys know what they are doing.
