Khmer Basac restaurant

Had lunch here as part of a tour of Phnom Penh. The place was crowded with tourists and some locals for a reason - the food is just sumptuous! I would much rather be in a crowded because the food is delicious than in an empty one because it's just average! The fare is combination of Vietnamese and Cambodian with a smattering of other Asian cuisine. Try the Khmer Curry Soup - a thick, flavorful curry-based noddle soup. If you like exotic cuisine, they have a spicy Crocodile Stew as well. For desert, try the Coconut Porridge (their version of the Philippines' Ginatan) and the Sticky Rice with Sesame Sugar. The buffet costs around 7 US$ if not included in your tour.

Good variety of all the courses. Vietnamese omelettes made fresh + Mongolian Wok made fresh. The buffet itself was rather disappointing (sparse and luke warm). However the salad and desserts were really nice, including Asian coconut based desserts to try,

Stopped for lunch here with a tour group. I found the restaurant far too busy but maybe that was just bad timing. I did not enjoy joining groups of people trying to get to the nearest food item. The main buffet seemed to consist more of bony fish than anything else. I ordered a mango shake and it took so long to come I thought they had forgotten me. Not an enjoyable experience.
