All along the entrance to the backside of Angkor Wat, there are small village restaurants offering all kinds of Khmer food, so for lunch on our first day we stopped at the Angkor Kitchen. I had the Rice Noodle Vegetable Soup which was I think set in a chicken broth. As you can see, it had cabbage, carrot and Chinese broccoli, and that was it for veggies. Very disappointing. When you order something you expect it to have a lot of whatever’s in the title. You don’t order an eggplant burger and get one slice of eggplant on a bulbous bun, so what’s the deal? Needless to say, or perhaps it’s basically already been said but I’m going to say it outright, I was disappointed. It was like I’d bought a car and it arrived without a stereo and wheels. It was easy on the stomach however, and somewhat better than the mystery chicken dish Hilary had. In the end, I ate it and was okay. 2 forks is deserving, but maybe I shouldn’t rate this one at all, an incomplete review for an incomplete meal. The coconut shake was amazing though.
