A few months back, Sreisaat and I went to this Vietnamese restaurant called Magnolia. In fact, I already featured one dish we ate there here on Food Trip Friday – a dish called Banh Chao. I was feeling lazy that time and I didn’t include the full review of the resto. Now that I’ve got a bit of time, here’s the rest of the photos of the resto and the rest of the meal.
Magnolia is housed on a lovely old French-Khmer villa along St. 51, Phnom Penh. They have some outdoor seating as well as some indoor seats. I kinda like the garden setting, it was breezy and the place evokes a very homey feeling and would encourage you to linger and enjoy the food.
We wanted a light meal so we ordered a salad – Beef Sesame Watercress Salad(I forgot what they named this on the menu..lol!). This was really yummy. And the serving was huge we couldn’t even finish it! The beef was really tender and the watercress so fresh and adding a crunch in each bite.
Our Banh Chao..
And of course, we just had to have iced coffee milk.
Hmm, we had some really healthy, value for money food. This is one affordable restaurant, the servings were really big and good enough to share for 2-4 persons, the casual ambiance and cheerful service an added plus.
oh, yummy! i love watercress—and the beef dish looks divine.
the pillows on the chairs look inviting.:p
I love the place …looks like you’re in Italy:) I think Cambodia’s food is the same here in Thailand – large servings , delicious and affordable!

The foods are new to my eyes but they look yummy and for sure they are and eating it in that beautiful setting sure adds flavor.
Watercress is so expensive here in manila.
