Phnom Penh moves at a different pace to Siem Reap. Traffic, people, bright lights - we were in the big city! Flight was good, arrived to find our Habitat contact ready and waiting, 45 minutes later we were at Frangipani 60s - and we had the run of the house - just 7 rooms and we had them all. Our host, Sucre, settled us in and then recommended a local restaurant - Romdeng. It is a training school teaching young people the hospitality trade.
Romdeng Website The art work on the walls (by the children) was terrific and the menu interesting. We decided to try some of the local delicacies, and share an assortment of meals. Most dishes were quite acceptable to our western palate - but why stick with the usual stir fries, we ordered Stir Fried Red Tree Ants with Beef & Holy basil and Crispy Fried Tarantulas with Lime and Pepper Sauce. The Red Ants were great, but they had run out of tarantulas - so we will have to go back another night!
