What other food to try on the first dinner in Siem Reap?  Khmer food of course!  We didn’t just conveniently stumble across this restaurant.  I wrote down the directions and all.  Trust me, if you want to try this restaurant, you really gotta write down the exact name (as reference) cos along the alley, there’s a lot of restaurant with similar name.

Once upon a time in the faraway Kingdom of Angkor, there was a popular chef called Pascal Schmit, who ran an equally popular restaurant called Abacus, housed in a charming two-storey villa. As night fell, all of Siem Reap’s well to do Khmers and expats would gather in the lantern-lit garden, on the verandah or in the bar to eat, drink, chill and make merry. Then one day Pascal shut up shop and went to try his hand in a hotel kitchen, at La Residence D’Angkor, and the people followed him there. But Pascal wanted more, a restaurant of one’s own again, so now Abacus is back, and his loyal followers couldn’t be happier.
