CHAMPEY RESTAURANT
Picture
Located just opposite Old Market, this local restaurant is easy to locate. Its old-style charm doesn’t do itself harm either. Its menu also offer no pretensions, where this restaurant is clearly targeted at tourists. Yet, there is nothing wrong with this. Tourists want to eat authentic local food, and at this place, local is what they get. Nothing more, nothing less. Its location also provides convenience to tourists, where the majority of them would likely to be at Old Market at one point of their trip to Siem Reap. If you intend to head down, you should really try this place out!

For starters, you can try a refreshing mango salad, where there is a spicy tanginess to it. With just enough punch, the spicy touch rather opens up one’s appetite for more!

For mains, do try Cambodia’s signature dish, Fish Amok. Note that each restaurant offers a different take on this dish, and rarely are two Fish Amoks identical! Nicely stir-fried with a generous amount of gravy, the sauce goes well with steamed rice. Really, this dish can be cleaned in a minute!

For sure, you can also try a soup! The Khmer Seafood Sour Soup is delicious. For those who are afraid of trying the tom yam soup (which they offer as well) for fear of its well-known spiciness, this is the soup to try. Served with a bowl of steamed rice, this dish is good for a simple meal. There is just enough kick to allow the diner taste the spice, yet not enough to force him to rush for a glass of water. Certainly, this soup can be considered a beginner’s dish for a real spicy dish. However, do not be fooled, for this dish deserves praise on its own. The different types of seafood in it are fresh, and goes really well with the soup. Mixed with the steamed rice and eaten together, it leaves the diner satisfied!

When it comes to dessert, it doesn’t get any more local than at Champey. You have got to try the chef’s special: Banana. Apparently created by the chef of Champey, this is a seemingly simple dish, that is just bananas (pun intended)! Coated with a special sweet sauce, the additional passion fruit dressing just works out well with the banana. One word: Yummy!
