Phnom Penh
Egg noodles

Beef carpaccio
Comments:
Every single person we talked to about what to eat in Vancouver mentioned Phnom Penh - a friend of ours beelines over here as soon as his flight touches down, every time
Every table had some variation of the following orders: chicken wings, carpaccio, and egg noodle or the luc lac rice. It’s clear what the winners on the menu are
Celine’s fav was hands down the chicken wings. We need to learn how to make these for when the craving hits
Jeremy’s favourite was the Butter Carpaccio - the crunchy bits made his eyes go WIDE
They gave some soup for the table that came with the dishes. Beautiful clear soup that was homey feeling
We’d definitely go back whenever we’re in town, but it didn’t quite live up to our expectations - maybe one too many food videos during our research…
Fried chicken wings
Beef luc lac
Side soup from pork bones
