On the corner of streets 136 and 13 there is a typical Cambodian grilled pork and rice breakfast restaurant. It’s a relatively safe order when out in the field but I’ve never had a craving. But after hearing that this was the best in town, I was excited. Unfortunately, with the build up, it was a let down. Decent rice and pork but nothing that made it stand out from any other restaurant in Phnom Penh or out in the Provinces. It’s really just rice and grilled pork. Not particularly amazing pork, no special sauce, Cambodian white rice; that’s it. Along with the pork and rice, diners receive a small bowl of broth and a dish of pickled vegetables. The broth was also nothing to write home about, salty and hot, but a nice contrast to the sweet pork, as well as adding another flavor option for the rice. The pickled vegetables were a showstopper though; carrots, cucumbers, and jicama all mildly pickled with a sweet tang and light crunch. I could have eaten everyone’s serving.
It is a truly surprising moment that one goes through when going over the first watch menu with prices brunch menu for the first time. You will see most breakfast items there, like eggs, toast, sandwiches, coffee, pancakes, and so much more as well. You can explore all of their menu items when you visit them.
