Ya Kun Kaya Toast — Restaurant in Khan Chamkar Mon

At the famous Ya Kun Kaya Toast from Singapore. The Singapore Laksa for 4.2usd had a very coconut milk forward soup, lacking a bit of salt. Especially since all other ingredients like, eggs, clams, shrimp and tofu did not have any base salt to itself. Shrimp was cooked to perfection. Red clam was nearly raw, which probably is the way it is supposed tobe cooked, but the small red clams in Phnom Penh is not always so high in quality, so I found this method as unpleasant. 3.0

On the other hand, the crispy thin Kaya butter toast (1.8usd) with complex and moderate sweetness from the Kaya was nailed and of course goes perfectly well with their black coffee or Kopi-O. If you focus on the coffee, it is strong but smooth, at the same time from a pour over coffee person, this type of coffee is way over extracted, but can also understand that this has beed done for ages this way so that is fine.

Kaya toast and coffee definitely...

Place looks a bit like a shopping mall restaurant, impersonal and cold so you won't be going there for a cosy atmosphere, but at least it looks clean. Also the sound reflecting tiles on the floor and many people speaking out loud make that place particularly noisy. Staff was very friendly, I must say. Laksa wasn't bad, not particularly great either, (literally) miles away from what you can get in Singapore or Malaysia. Of course, it's still nice to find a Singaporean restaurant in Phnom Penh that serves Laksa, for the time being until we get something more genuine. But the real deal breaker for me (and the reason why I probably won't be back) was this horrible mainstream RnB music blasting throughout the place. I just can't take this kind of music, it's just pure sound pollution to my ears, and honestly I'd rather have no music at all when I'm having lunch. Well, I'd rather not eat at...

I preferred come to here for breakfast or light bites, my favorite set always:

More than enough, sweet and slightly salty closes with a cup of coffee. Perfect combine, but for some people these set not really Asian breakfast, they will choose: Singapore Chicken Rice or Laksa.
