Another day of temple trekking, another hungry group of people. This time we wandered into the centre of Siem Reap for beers at the Red Piano, before meandering up and down ‘Bar Street’ trying to choose where to eat. We settled on In Touch restaurant, for it’s mixture of Thai and Khmer dishes and it’s upstairs balcony seating, with views down over the action.
We started off by ordering a bottle of white wine, to be told that it was out of stock… so we ordered another to be told the same thing. We could kind of see where this conversation might be leading, so asked what they did have in stock – turned out they only had one wine, a red, out of the entire wine list, so we stuck with a jug of Angkor beer and turned our minds to eating.
We started off with some Pork and Prawn parcels with a plum dipping sauce, which unfortunately were a little blander than their golden crispy exterior promised
A Thai Green Chicken Curry with Eggplant
And a Cambodian Pork Lok Lak – marinated pork strips cooked in a fiery peppery sauce.
And of course some stir-fried vegetables.
Our initial impression wasn’t altogether favourable – the food was cold and the dishes slightly bland. However, as we ate on, the flavours seemed to develop and we found ourselves quite enjoying the meal.
So not as successful as our evening before… but we left fairly satisfied nonetheless… although I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t return…
