myhome restaurant, Phnom Penh

Situated along Sisowath Quay, near the Chaktomuk Theatre.

Brutally frank:

Very quiet. Seems like a new restaurant.  Extremely friendly and attentive restaurant.  I dined at this restaurants twice.  Quite a few lizards on the wall on the second night though none on my first night there.

This is quite interesting to me.  It’s deep fried sweet potato (known to North Americans as yam) paired with stir-fried beef.  Deep fried sweet potato has also been more of a snack here in South East Asia.  It’s interesting to see it used as a dish and paired with a protein.  The sweetness of the sweet potato contrasting with the crispness of the fried batter is nice.  The beef, though it tasted nice, was very tough.  This is typical of Cambodia.  You get tender beef only at expensive restaurants.  US$4

The Tom Yam soup had a lot of protein (fish, shrimp, chicken) in it.  Filling! It wasn’t too hot either.  Great for westerners who aren’t used to too spicy food. I love the straw mushrooms and my soup had plenty. US$6

This was oh-so-satisfying.  It had real coconut, coconut milk, ice, some condensed milk?, some sugar syrup?, all blended together.  Cold and sweet. US$2

The toppings and cheese come very easily off the crust.  I guess that is one of the drawbacks of using pre-made crusts/ dough.  The pizza was also slightly too wet. US$4

This Ratatouille soup had pasta, zucchini, capsicums, eggplant. Topped with cheese.  US$4
