Like its sister back in Phnom Penh, FCC Angkor located in Siem Reap is worth at least one visit. Click here to find out more about our time at FCC Phnom Penh!
Situated in downtown Siem Reap, it stands alone, which comes together with its own hotel. You won’t be able to miss it as you drive past it, with its two-storey white colonial-style building standing out against its surroundings. It also comes complete with a courtyard and a bar, ensuring you have a pleasant time chilling out at FCC.
Food-wise, it offers the same menu between the two cities.
We first chose some vegetarian spring rolls to get started for our dinner. It was tasty, with a crunchy exterior. Biting into it, the filling was moist with strong flavours. The sauce provided was also excellent. It consisted of a oriental-style chili lime sauce, which was perfect for dipping. Really, this dish is good two ways. Have it on its own, or go with the dipping sauce for a kick!

Next up, we decided on two mains to share among us. First, we went for the signature FCC Pad Thai noodles. The picture says it all. Simple and tasty. It brings back memories of Bangkok and Phuket. Yum! On the second main, we went for another signature dish of theirs: Crying Tiger! In layman terms, it basically grilled beef. Now, the dipping sauce is what makes this dish unique again. It is a sourish/spicy chili palm sugar sauce. What exactly it contains besides those we mentioned, we honestly do not have any idea. Not that we are complaining though. It creates a whole new flavour and taste for this dish. It is something we have not tasted before, and it seems unique to this town. Awesome.
Of course, being in Siem Reap, we had to try a truly Cambodian dish. We looked at the menu and decided on the Steamed Sea Bass. What makes this dish different from any other fish fares, is the ingredients used to cook this superb dish. It actually contains some water lily, and Khmer basil oil. Certainly, we are no Khmer experts, and hence, are unable to tell you precisely how the dish is supposed to taste. All we can tell you is the reaction we have after eating the fish. One word: delicious. Verdict? You have to try it when you are at FCC Siem Reap.
Lastly, time for some desserts. Granted, we are already quite full from arguably three mains and one starter. Yet, as they say, there is always room for dessert. We ordered one of our favourites again, the humble Mango Sticky Rice. It taste just like how it was in Phnom Penh. A fresh mango, cut into slices, with a sticky rice with some sweet sauce.
All we can say is that we enjoyed a really tasty meal. In fact, we were so full by this point that we can no longer order anything else, such as some of their classic cocktails. If you are here, remember to save some space for one (or two) of their cocktails! They offer an unique FCC Transfusion (consisting of vodka, lime, cranberry juice topped with ginger ale), as well as other classic drinks including mojitos and martinis. Grab one and chill out by the courtyard as the sun sets!
