Stir-fried Basil Duck with Fried Egg Phnom Penh

Stir-fried Basil Duck with Fried Egg, a flavorful dish by the Tonle Sap River in Phnom Penh

Hello, I’m mr.hotsia. Today I will take you to try a dish I truly think is excellent in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which is “Stir-fried Basil Duck with Fried Egg.” This dish is hard to find at home, but here it’s available and packed with authentic Thai bold flavors.

This restaurant is calledChiang Mai riversideLocated along the Tonle Sap riverside road, the main river flowing through the heart of Phnom Penh city. This is a compact Thai restaurant with about a dozen tables. The atmosphere is warm and perfect for resting after a riverside stroll or city sightseeing.

Since I, mr.hotsia, enjoy spicy food and am familiar with Thai dishes, the Stir-fried Basil Duck with Fried Egg here quickly became my favorite. The duck used is roasted with tender meat, stir-fried with authentic Thai spicy basil. The fish sauce chili served alongside enhances the flavor excellently. Another special feature is that the staff can speak Thai, making ordering easy without language worries.

Additionally, the menu includes Thai papaya salad with a slightly sweet taste that Thai people love. I tried it and found it delicious and satisfying. It pairs very well with the Stir-fried Basil Duck with Fried Egg. This is ideal for travelers in Cambodia who want to enjoy authentic Thai food without extra seasoning hassle.

Changing Atmosphere by Tonle Sap River in Phnom Penh

I, mr.hotsia, have visited Phnom Penh several times. This is my third time walking along the Tonle Sap riverside. The atmosphere has changed a lot from previous visits. Here, Khmer people gather for exercise and group dancing. Khmer circle dances and aerobics are played with music in the evening, creating a lively and interesting riverside atmosphere. This is perfect for tourists wanting to experience Khmer lifestyle during leisure time.

For those visiting Phnom Penh, I, mr.hotsia, recommend setting aside time for an evening walk along the Tonle Sap riverside to see local life unlike other capitals.

Thai Food in Cambodia That Brings Homesickness

Many may wonder whether Thai food in Cambodia is similar or different from at home. From my experience, mr.hotsia, Thai and Khmer cuisines are very similar, especially in big cities like Phnom Penh, where spicy Thai-style food is easy to find. Although the city has unique Khmer dishes, Thai visitors often want familiar Thai food. Chiang Mai riverside is a great option.
