Food Trip Friday: Phnom Penh’s Napoli Pizza

Posted by Lui on Feb 10, 2012 | 4 comments

Yes, you all already know me, hubby and the kiddo are really just pizza eating machines pretending to be human. Lol. And a few Saturdays ago, we were just driving around when we thought of refueling out tummies with what else but pizza. So we headed over to Kampuchea Krom Blvd, thinking of just grabbing a pizza at Pizza Company. But parking there is like expecting to find a 100 dollar bill on a crowded sidewalk so we just drove on.

A few blocks after, my daughter screamed, ‘ I see PIZZA!!’. She was pointing at a resto called Naples Pizza. So of course, we had to go try it. And thank God we did. I think I have a new favorite pizza place here in Phnom Penh!

I like the huge variety of pizza’s you can choose from on their menu. They also have Greek, Canadian pizzas and lot and lots of other choices. But of course, we had to try out first the thin crust, sausage stuffed seafood pizza. And it was soooooo good.

I had iced coffee..

They also had free desserts (taro and tapioca pearls in sweet coconut milk)  which was nice, though I forgot to take photos of that.

The service was also efficient and friendly. Prices are affordable, and they also have free pizza promotions during weekdays. Let’s just say, I’ll be going back there again soon to try the other pizzas. I do wish they’d have more branches closer to city center..

Food Trip Friday: Bopha Titanic Restaurant

Posted by Lui on Jan 27, 2012 | 10 comments

Bopha Titanic Restaurant along Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh is popular with the tourist crowd. And its not really that surprising, it has great location – riverside, extensive menu (Khmer, Thai, and western fares) and the place is spacious.

We love going there for Khmer food, and just to relax and take in the river breeze. Hubby and I both like Khmer and Thai food, while the kiddo prefers pastas and we get all of this in one place. We also love the ambiance, the attentive staff and of course, the food is yummy. Prices are mid-range.

Here’s what we had last time we went there. Khmer Seafood Ma-am Stew- I can’t get enough of this! Its sooo delicious and you’d need unlimited servings of rice with this one. They serve this with lots of veggies to tame the strong salty flavor.

We also had seafood glass noodles which was also great but my camera’s battery died on me so no photos of that..The kiddo as usual ordered her Pasta Bolognese with Garlic Bread. Yum. And the serving is huge.

I’m sooo looking forward to going back there again. Soon.

Food Trip Friday: Pizza World’s 1+1 Free!

Posted by Lui on Jan 6, 2012 | 5 comments

Here’s one of our favorite foodie deals here in Phnom Penh. We always give ourselves a pizza treat every week and this is not hard to do since Pizza World Phnom Penh has some really great deal. Buy one medium/large pizza and get 1 free! So two large pizzas would just cost about $11+. A sublime deal for pizza gluttons like us, hahaha! This is not available for delivery though. You have to be at their store, but you can eat your pizza there or take it out. Right now they have this promo every Friday ( I wonder if they still have it on Tuesdays too?) so Phnom Penhois head over there for some pizza love. Be prepared to wait your turn though.

Here’s what we had for last week..

Meat Lovers Pizza

+ 1 Seafood Pizza (the kiddo’s fave and the only pizza she eats. Lol. She ate almost half of this!)

Yum! I’m getting for another load of this tonight.. Lol. Pizza glutton, indeed.

Food Trip Friday: The Steak Kitchen Seafood Platter and Grilled Fish

Posted by Lui on Dec 30, 2011 | 4 comments

Two Tuesday’s ago, the Queen of Wishful Shrinking and I tried out The Steak Kitchen @ 5th Level Sovanna Mall, Phnom Penh. The food was okay, really nothing to write home about. We had combo meat and chicken steak platters that time. It was not bad, just on the average scale. The great thing was the serving (it was huge!),the price was low considering the heaps of food you’ll be getting and the panoramic view of this side of Phnom Penh is a definite plus to this resto. Anyway, I’ll do a full review of that lunch on another blog.

Last weekend, Chinks and I decided to give their fish a try. You know after the Christmas parties and the food mostly meat and greasy, I was really wanting to eat fish. Preferably grilled. So off we went to The Steak Kitchen. And we ordered this:

Crumbed Seafood Platter – $4.90 – this was really good. Fish, Prawns and Scallops. The kiddo loved it soo much she managed to finish it all.

Grille Fish Fillet – $3.50 – Grilled just the way I like it. This was served with coleslaw and a plateful of french fries.

Hmm, great value for money. Would try out other combo’s next.

Food Trip Friday: Mouthwatering Food @ DM Dimsum

Posted by Lui on Dec 15, 2011 | 5 comments

I have always been partial to Chinese cuisine. I could eat dimsum/noodles all day. And I’m not kidding you. Thankfully, Phnom Penh has its share of restaurants offering dimsum on their menus. We’ve tried out several places near Central Market and recently we have discovered another dimsum place near Olympic Market. I’ve been passing by this restaurant called DM Dimsum Restaurant for some months already but it was only  last week that I got to try it out.

We attended the media screening for Puss in Boots at Legend Cinema in City Mall and afterwards, Sreisaat and I can’t quite make up our mind about where to grab our lunch. Then I remembered that this place was just a few minutes walk from City Mall so we tried it..

And had a yummy whale of a time. And no we did not go binge eating. Not really. Hahaha. {Defensive much!} But it was tempting. They serve unlimited rice!?#@

pickled appetizer..

very very tasty siomai..

lemon chicken.. very subtly flavored. 

sticky rice with fillings. super delicious! and to think we already ate rice. hahaha.. yeah were gluttons. 

PS. We’ll be doing full restaurant/travel reviews on another blog – Go. Eat. Write. So you can read about our future food hunts there.

Food Trip Friday: Vietnamese Food @ Magnolia

Posted by Lui on Nov 25, 2011 | 5 comments

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.
