“The food was amazing – I work in a Michelin star kitchen and it baffles me how CWD has yet to get at least one Michelin star.
We chose Tasting Menu 2:
Amuse Bouche
Duck Confit with Crispy Rice
Steamed Mekong Langoustine
Tonle Sap Croaker Fish
Angkor Stout Pulled Pork
Green & Ripe Mango Tart
Fresh Seasonal Fruit Platter
We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the eating the last bites of the each dish made me so sad, knowing that the experience would soon be over.
For 31usd per pax, excluding drinks – I thought we got more than a fair deal for the amount and the quality of the food.
Chef Joannès Rivière was also kind enough to oblige us when we requested to take a photo with him at the end of the meal, which truly was the cherry on the cake.
Merci Chef!
& thank you Carole, for helping out with the birthday surprise!
If we ever make the visit to Siem Reap again, it’d definitely be just for Cuisine Wat Damnak. ”
