Dinner

Friends Restaurant

Grilled Mekong Fish (with lime wedge - and no bones!) with tomato and
red onion salad
Burmese chicken curry with noodles topped with crunchy noodles
Caramelized pineapple on coconut and chili ice cream
Raspberry and vanilla smoothie

Fish was the best, but it was all good!

Dessert

Sugarcane juice with lime - unlike in China, where you chew on the
sugarcane and spit out the pulp once it's dry, at Cambodian sugar
juice stalls there are machines that squeeze the juice out, then the
juice is poured into a cup with ice and a straw. Better than chewing
and spitting (and probably a little better for your teeth, too)!

Dinner

At The Smokin' Pot

Pineapple Orange Banana shake
Beef Lok Lak (a little sour, with egg on top and onions and cucumbers)
Fish Kroeung (sour soup)

Dinner

At Butterflies Garden Restaurant

Khmer Mom's chicken soup - flavored with pickled lemon, carrot, onion, coriander

Pomelo salad with grilled chicken, mint, toasted peanuts, and a little hot pepper and maybe oil

Both of which were delicious!

Also had iced mint tea.  

Dinner

Buffet, which included several kinds of Khmer food, such as:

Fried (battered) bananas and potatoes
Amok fish (baked in a banana leaf - a little like Thai tom yum - good!)
Spring rolls - fresh and fried
Stir-fried wide noodles (China does them better)
A couple glutinous rice cake things
Thin omelette with bean sprouts and ground pork in it
Sliced baguette (very popular in Cambodia, though they are more like
American baguettes than French baguettes)

Expensive ($12), but I got to try a lot of different foods and there
was a live performance of traditional dancing (think Tup Tim's
production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in "The King and I").

Late Lunch

Socheata II (a rare Lonely Planet food recommendation that lived up to
its billing!)

Chicken amouk (amoc) - I think it's supposed to be cooked in a banana
leaf, but it wasn't served with one. At first, I thought it was just
Thai food (lemongrass, curry, rice), but it has a milder, subtler
flavor - a difference I noticed especially when I came to the pieces
of sweet potato or squash (not sure which). Delicious either way!

I also had freshly squeezed limeade.

Breakfast

At the guesthouse: big pancake (like a cake cooked in a pan!) with
banana inside and jam on top.

Dinner

At my guesthouse: noodles (ramen) stir-fried with vegetables and chicken

Late Lunch

L'Atelier cafe/restaurant
Tarragon chicken muffins with salad - also mustard sauce and marinara
sauce for dipping - good! Muffins had a nice, yeasty taste.
Fresh pineapple juice

Dinner

Wenzhou "big wonton" 温州大馄饨

Lunch

Teahouse in Maokong

Tea oil noodles

3 Meals & Snacks

Dinner at a vegetarian restaurant near the train station: 素排骨面 soup
noodles with a "pork chop," which was sprinkled with thick soy sauce
and shreds of fresh ginger - very good!

Dessert at Dunkin Donuts: Sugar-coated donut and chocolate-covered
raspberry-filled heart-shaped donut with "herbal tea" (more like a
raspberry-lime rickey)

pepper

From a stall outside the Shilin train station:
