 Let's go straight to the point, where to eat? I've been to Siem Reap back in 2012 to celebrate my wife birthday there, while visiting the ancient places at Siem Reap. Some of people not sure where to eat and where to find good foods at Siem Reap, but we did explored few places and tried nice tasty.

First I would recommend if you want to taste good foods of Khamer, try this place called.. "The Touich Restaurant". We had grilled tiger prawn and red snapper. Nice!! Highly recommend if you try red snapper, i think one of their specialty there.You would expected to pay between USD 2 to USD 18. I think its quite reasonable.

You can visit my review about Touich Restaurant at TripAdvisor - Click Here, and others review about the restaurant. The restaurant rank# 5 in TripAdvisor out of 396 restaurants around siem reap been reviewed in TripAdvisor.

Last but not least, don't forget to try their Khmer Dessert which I found quite unique and truly local Siem Reap style.

Beside The Touich, we also been to "Sugar Palm Restaurant". Heard they have a good A Mok Fish, we went there and ate, A Mok Fish, Mango Salad with smoked fish, and vege fried rice. The taste is so-so, and i think it over-rated. Price compare to the taste i think it was not reasonable. Better if you go to The Touich. 

However, "Sugar Palm Restaurant" is nicely decorated, cozy and suitable if you want to have nice relax dinner with family or friends. You won't regrets on the restaurant look wise and foods presentation wise...but if you look for taste wise, I would not recommend to go here.

SIDDHARTA BOUTIQUE HOTEL SIEM REAP.

Alright, now I will stop talking about foods at Siem Reap for a while. Let's talk a little bit on where we were staying. We've stayed at boutique hotel in Siem Reap called "Siddharta Boutique Hotel". You may go to TripAdvisor to read my full review - Click Here.

Very simple hotel yet it quite nice and cozy. We love the privacy and quiteness there, when you come back after the long walk to visit temples at Siem Reap, came back tired, you just want to relax..I think this hotel quite full filled our needed.

Sometime, we do went out early morning to catch the Sun Rise, the do pack our breakfast to bring along..so you can picnic having breakfast while watching the sun rise and breath the fresh air in the morning.

Below are some picture taken during our stay at this hotel.

How the foods here? We didn't have any lunch or dinner at this hotel. Mostly we ate outside the hotel tried local foods at the local restaurants. HOWEVERRRR......we love the breakfast served at this hotel. Not much variety, but the foods and selection they have very tasty and I liked the Jam, they have variety of Jam and all are homemade!!Tasty.

I can't remember what Jam I've took..but what I remember they have more than 5 types of Jam... I think 2 of it in the picture were orange and pineapples Jam.

Alright, now lets go back about foods at Siem Reap. See below? Another A Mok Fish. This time we tried at "The Angkor Palm Restaurant" - My TripAdvisor Review Click Here. 

We had A Mok Fish and Vege Spring Roll. Both quite nice, the A Mok Fish taste was better than Sugar Palm Restaurant.

While you at Siem Reap, another must place to go is the Night Market. Don't missed it. You can find a lot of things at their night market at the cheap price. Even for massage by the road side. We had reflexology massage after long walk visit temples in the morning. 

Remember "Tomb Rider" movie - sexy hot Angelina Jolie acting in this movie? The movie has been use Siem Reap as the location in the film. There is part the use tample "Ta Prohm" to do the film shoot.

Anyway, what I wanted to say...hehehe..Angelina Jolie always hangout at this "Red Piano Restaurant" during her shooting at Siem Reap. We wanted to try and eat or drink here, but we were lost find the place and we found Karaoke instead..so we went into Karaoke :D. When we done with Karaoke, only we found Red Piano!! 

Let's back to food. We went to this restaurant called, "Green Star Restaurant" - read my review on TripAdvisor Click Here. The restaurant is Not a Profit restaurant, so you can expect they privately funded by this 2 lovely person Doug and Avee. We tried A Mok Fish and this corn dishes (forgot the name), it was tasty!! We love the taste even better than Sugar Palm & Angkor Palm Restaurant. The A Mok Fish here is better and the corn that we hand superb nice. Should try..but sorry I forgot the name, but you can ask them. I think the only corn dishes and their specialty. This restaurant serve great taste of local khmer local foods! Should go!!

Lastly, as I mentioned earlier, we had tried several restaurants that serve A Mok Fish, and we found the best one among the best. It was the the Cambodian Village Restaurant - Read my review at TripAdvisor - Click Here. Ok firstly, Cambodian Village don't expect much, but you can go to their restaurant. We found the have a great A Mok Fish, the taste and gravy and herb they used, is so well balance and taste good!! 

I highly recommend this place if you like to try great taste of A Mok Fish. Love the gravy was thick and tasted all the herbs they mixed. Very Delicious.
