Located at the far end of Phnom Penh, next to the river. The entire dinning area was set on river side and up the tree. It was almost one of my bucklist to dine in a hut like their. Looking at the sun set and enjoying the river breeze. .

Because of the remote and non tourist setting, the local guide might be needed. They were serving up local Khmer dishes, fresh water fish and shellfish. According to the regulars, one of the best dish will be their Teuk Kreung (Raw Fish Sauce). They would minced up the mackerel or any fresh fish and mixed in the fish sauce, chilli, basil, lime juice, sugar and more salt. At first I thought the smell and taste would be overwhelming. However to my surprise, after the initial tongue shocking moment, the taste was very pleasant. One after another, I was clearing off the greens. The sweetness of the green and crispy texture actually made a lot of sense (why they seasoned the sauce so heavily). .

My personal favorite will be their soup fish sauce (hot pot) and roasted chicken with banana skin. They used the ferment fish sauce to create the savory and mouth watering sourness. The cat fish cooked within was super tender but be careful of the bones. Lastly would be their roasted chicken. Sound pretty regular but until I saw the banana skin. Initially I thought the chef "forgot" to remove but later they told me it was serve as it was. You can choose to dip their sugar, fish sauce and chilli mixture or eat it just it was. The skin was used to protect meat moisture and the enzyme helped to soften the tough kampong chicken. And YES, the banana skin could be eaten like roasted egg plant without its seed. .
