Absolutely perfect and amazing taste. the staff was superb.
Cuisine Wat Damnak is located Between Psa Dey Hoy market and Angkor High School | Wat Damnak village, Sala Kamreuk Commune, Siem Reap 17000, Cambodia The dishes are very exquisite, taste good, the service is good, and the price is high. The food portion is really not big, boys may think it is not enough. The environment is very simple and elegant, with a lot of space between each table. The guests who come to dine here are polite and quiet. There is a set menu here, with two options; if two people come to eat, they can each order a meal and share it. There are also many choices of drinks and wine. It’s very hot in Cambodia during the day, so it’s very comfortable to eat here at night after a day of sightseeing.
The special dessert black pearls, the chocolate shell is round, and the strawberry ice cream is hidden inside. The beautiful appearance hides the amazing and refreshing taste.
The best restaurant recognized in Cambodia. Cuisine Wat Damnak has opened a new window. Creative French cuisine with Cambodian-style seasoning can be so delicious. My friends around me are saying: delicious, so delicious. The chef is also very nice and will take the initiative to ask for opinions on the dishes~ I like it The only restaurant in Cambodia selected in Asia Best 50. Nicholas Tse also came here to film "12 Tastes of Chef Nic". The restaurant changes its menu every two weeks, so you don't have to worry about repetition if you eat twice a month. Three people chose the same menu, and they were all very satisfied without exception. Appetizer: "Shrimp salad" Fresh shrimp salad with Cambodian-style sauce, the taste is just right. The other one has been too long and I can't remember it clearly. I only remember that it contains egg shreds, fried leaves (tea leaves?) and shrimp patties. Main course: "Duck meat" It's a bit like the method of confit duck legs. The crispy duck shreds are paired with sweet and sour fruits, and sprinkled with a little lemon juice, and the taste is distinct. "Fried Beef Tongue" The large piece of beef tongue is fried until slightly charred, and it is fresh and juicy. Dessert: "Plum Dark Chocolate Ganache" I love the sorbet with natural sweet and sour fruit flavor. After-meal fruit: Four kinds of fruits with salt grains, the small mangosteen inside is so cute. Reservations must be made in advance on the official website. The restaurant charges $29 for a 5-course meal and $34 for a 6-course meal.
Speaking of Siem Reap's most popular online restaurant, #cuisine wat damnak# is undoubtedly it. It's packed daily, and reservations during the week are practically nonexistent. It's incredibly popular. I rushed over at 8:30 pm to give it a try. After some discussion, the chef managed to arrange an outdoor table, which I was very lucky to hear. The menu changes every two weeks to ensure fresh, seasonal ingredients and top-notch quality. The five- and six-course set menus are $27 and $31, respectively, with the added bonus of an extra side dish. You can choose from either menu. The amuse-bouche (pan-seared fish) appetizer was perfectly prepared. While slightly greasy, it lacked any fishy flavor. The crispy, tender fish sat atop a crispy carrot cake, garnished with Chinese spices, celery, sesame seeds, and pickled radish. The French chef at Cuscine Wat has spent thirteen years in Siem Reap, and his fusion of local cuisine is both ingenious and innovative. The [Grilled Sandy Fish Wrapped in Galangal Leaves] is incredibly tender, and the fragrant galangal leaves add a unique flavor. The main course features [Hand-Pulled Pork Ribs with Oatmeal Porridge], egg yolk, bean sprouts, and cabbage. The meat is lean and tender. Another main course features shrimp, [Curry Mekong Prawns with Lemon Basil], with a base of pumpkin fruits and leaves and garnished with tamarind seedlings, creating a naturally beautiful presentation. The desserts are visually appealing, with [Lemon Sorbet with Cold Hami Melon Soup] and [Caramel Mango Pie] offering a warm and sweet finish. #WinterHappinessFood
