"No Name" Seafood Restaurant





Friends and family always ask me where I go for dinner, and the answer to them was always NO NAME RESTAURANT. Yes, there's a seafood restaurant called NO NAME RESTAURANT located nearby my apartment. It is owned by Malaysian and the chef is a Singaporean. A lot of Malaysian food can be found there like Hokien Mee, Fish Head Noodle etc. The food is not so pricey at only average of USD15 for 2 persons.

I will definitely be a regular guests at NO NAME RESTAURANT!!!

Second Night Outing with Anna

I managed to spend both nights with Anna when she arrived at Phnom Penh. After that, Couldn't really have much chance to meet up with her as she's working on shift while my working hours is 9 to 5. She'll be in the midnight shift for the next few more days.

However, we had so much fun together at Phnom Penh. During the 2nd night, i prepared for some homecooked dinner for Anna at my apartment. After dinner, we brought her to nearby weekend Flea Market, things there were really cheap. A Cambodian Silk Scarf only cost at USD2 per piece. T-shirt at only USD3 at each.



@ Weekend Flea Market



After that, i treated her for SUPPER, The deep fried insects. At first, Anna felt quite reluctant to eat it. We kept on convincing her to try else we wouldnt send her back to her hostel LOL. How cruel are we! hehe.....

After having the first bite of Deep Fried Spider (It is called AH BING in Cambodia), Anna loved the taste so much that she wanted to feed me on the leg. I was so scared that i ran away from her. :) She told us that it tasted like Chicken Skin.

So Brave of Anna and She's our HERO!!!!!!





Quite reluctant to taste that!

Anna's First Night Dinner @ Phnom Penh

My home town friend, Anna had accepted the job offer at my workplace and came to Phnom Penh last Saturday. We studied at the same secondary school and used to work at the same hotel in Miri. It was just like a dream! I'd never think of any of my friend would come to Phnom Penh. Nothing can be more joyful than this :)

On the first day upon Anna's arrival, I brought her to one of the biggest shopping mall in Phnom Penh to shop for some groceries items, basic stuffs like Sim Card etc.

After that, We went for dinner at the Cambodian Food Restaurant. Overall, food was great at that night especially the Tom Yam Seafood and Pork Amok (Cambodian Curry). Everyone of us had consumed 2 plates of rice on that day. It's also great to hear from Anna that Phnom Penh is much better than what she thought of.

After that, we actually planned to bring Anna for some Supper, "Deep Fried Spider". Unfortunately, all the stalls were already closed.

I'll be having more chance to see Anna in future and cherish every moment spending together.

Dare to eat?????

This picture was taken during my sis, mum and auntie's visitation to where I'm currently living in, Phnom Penh City.

I brought them around the city and tried the Khmer cuisine especially those insects along Riverside.

There it goes! I'd strongly recommend Dasolve to explore this area for more food hunt. Hehe.....




Dunno what's this called in Cambodia, it's called "BALUT" in Phillipines. Means Ducklings eggs.... USD0.50 for each




We were not dare to try it so just bought one for the tuk tuk driver to show us how it looks like.



Can see ducklings inside....



Yummy :)
