We were a bit hesitant to start off with as you just served spring rolls, what a huge mistake. Wild is amazing, you should be very proud of your achievements.
@@ForRiel Yes, they are really something special. I was so turned off when they gave me the menu and I realized they just westernized spring rolls....but after eating them I just had to order more and more. :D
We know that people can be a little bit perplex when they see our menu the first time 😅. And it's a big reward for us, when after a meal, they tell us they actually like it! So thank you very much, it means a lot to us 😍!
Always good to see freshly made food , miss it too, better than the poorly made food here, can't complain to the chef as the chef is me lol , nice video too , catchya...
Hey Maddo! Always great to see you. We're pretty lucky with quality and selection here when it comes to food. Jeremy does all cooking in our household so I'm lucky in that regard as well, but I do a mean 2-minute noodle. 🍜

Oh no! We watch Curiosity Incoprorated (ua-cam.com/channels/gclKg8oaVlkuCurCxo2hOw.html) a Canadian channel, and Alex was talking about how cold it is there. I can't imagine what it's like living with those kinds of temperatures. Everything must take so much longer, too.
26 degrees celsius here today with a beautiful cool breeze. That rain was gladly welcomed. We are heading out soon for lunch to a place called Fat Panda looking forward to it. I never really thought about visiting Canada but Alex and Wes ( both youtubers) have changed our minds.ua-cam.com/video/9VpqpNU9ufA/v-deo.html
We did a coffee shop tour a few months ago. Because of the road works it has shut down a lot of the smaller places as it's impossible to even get to them. Thanks for commenting.
The setting at WILD looks amazing!! I am putting that on my list of must-do's. Thanks so much for posting!! (and I would grab those potato bits as well, Jeremy)
Nice vid Claire - The Lab looked the goods! So fresh and lots of nice greens. It’s also nice to see some of these little places are surviving too. Cheers 👍
Thanks Marc! Sorry to hear about the situation in Victoria - I hope 5 days is enough to get things under control again. Yeah, the good places seem to be doing ok. There are still a lot of expats around town, probably more than you'd expect this far into the pandemic. Jeremy and I need to branch out and start going to some new places. We have a small list of restaurants on high rotation and need to spread the love a bit more.
I was thinking the same thing I'm glad they are still open. I used to like 5 son's but they closed down, the same with spoons and marum. I even did dining in the dark when I was there. Very hard with no tourist
@@ForRiel Cheers Claire - I hope it ends sooner rather than later. Lucky we got away when we did last month (vlog out soon) but I had a work trip to Brissy booked which will now be canned. ah well the world we live in. Yeah spread your wings when it comes to lunches - I'm sure you will find some gems!!
Wow that food not only looked delicious but was also presented beautifully, think Wild was my favourite the garden and the seating outside so relaxing, these places should be full of tourists enjoying this amazing food, but who knows when that will be. Thank you for this enjoyable tour, take care.
Yes we are spoilt for choice here. Wild is a little further away on the other side of the river, but definitely worth the effort. Their garden setting is lovely, and you're right - super relaxing.
You will always have a special place in our hearts, Jim! Really appreciate you being here. We have Indian around once a week. It's good to have a bit of a break from local dishes, much as I love Khmer food.
Hi guys. I've been planning on moving to Siem Reap since pre-covid and your channel has been a great information source for me. It's a toss up on the food vote, but the honey chicken has just about edged it over the springs rolls. Thanks for the all the vids and congrats on the 1k subs!
Nice to see the standard of Indian food really getting great in Cambodia . . . In Siem Reap . . . VANAKKAM INDIA was a great find , hope its still there as its been a while , . . . JUNGLE BURGER also great for ice cold beer and a treat of Western Soul Food
Absolutely agree! We have found that in general tandoori chicken is amazing here, and every Indian restaurant has great bread. I've found the curries to be a little inconsistent, and now avoid them in favour of the chicken. Jungle Burger is a great spot and they are doing well in their new location. They have definitely upgraded in terms of space and feel of the restaurant.
Hi Jeremy and Claire , " Happy Lunar New Year " , this was so much fun , the meals you enjoyed really look great , and priced so reasonably , I have grown to really love tofu , and I'm trying hard to make an effort at eating healthier , I know these dishes are far better for me than so many western foods I'm currently consuming , I still am baffled as to how restaurants are able to keep their doors open with the obvious lack of tourism , my heart really goes out to all the business owners in Siem Reap , I can only imagine the hardships involved , and " Thanks " for leaving the sounds of a Khmer funeral unedited 2:50 , really brought back memories , hope you are both doing well , getting close to the magic #1000 , take care , Peace ...
Hi Brian! Happy Year of the Ox to you as well! I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with tofu. In the noodle salad dish it was really nice - a bit crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Other times I have had it and really didn't enjoy the texture. My Little Cafe has gone from strength to strength and has a steady flow of customers all day (I know this as I can see from the office window, and it makes for great people-watching). The Vietnamese place only does lunch Monday - Saturday and it's often full. Try Me is a very good restaurant, but we are often the only table in use when we have lunch there. Other places are open day in day out, and never anyone inside. It must be soul-destroying for them. We try to spread our money around and support businesses run by locals as much as possible, but most of the expat-run places hire Khmer staff. I know the people at Wild treat their staff very well. I hope you are staying safe and not too cold.
Hi there! Iam watching you every move, since I like ur program very much, I have some relatives who live in Phnom Penh. We are a pandemic lockdown here in Canada too. I will write u some more later on, stay safe and sound!
You'll love Canada --- best in the summer (perhaps of 2022). If you want a neat experience, travel to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. It is located above the 60th parallel. I lived there for 1.5 years. In the summer, the sun doesn't set --- golf tournaments begin at 11pm!
Thanks so much Graham! I posted in some of the expat Facebook groups asking people to tell me their favourite dish in any restaurant here, and I now have a list of 100 things to try! It will be a fun way to add some new places into our rotation, and we'll definitely be making more of these videos :) The 🐔 pad thai is SO good.
One needs to walk carefully (ice is very slippery). The cold isn't that much of an issue if you dress in heavy layers. However, it is a mental issue to prep yourself to go out into the cold --- I needed to go food shopping (2nd time I've been out this week). Nothing else to do in these Covid times - the population has been told to stay indoors as much as possible --- Cambodia has been very fortunate so far - I hope that continues!
We lived in England for a year and know the pleasure of ice covered footpaths. Hopefully Cambodia can keep Covid safe but it really needs tourists ASAP.
$12.50 for 5 lunches. What a bargain. That is what costing me in Sydney Australia for a cup of coffee and a serving of peanut butter toast for breakfast. Looking forward to be able to travel internationally again. Already targeting Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore as the next destinations.
We love Vietnam and most likely will head there to see a mate in Hoi An as we lived there for a year. If you have time look up some Tawian UA-cam Channels, is a amazing place. He is a bit different but gives you a idea of the beauty of Taiwan ua-cam.com/users/Taiwaneverything
Fun Vlog, we eat out a lot as it's sometimes cheaper than cooking at home. Well I tell myself that, plus it helps keep the restaurants running during this hard time.
That is just 5 of at least 100 different places in Siem Reap. The amount of restaurants and international airport is what attached us here, it's been just unfortunate that Covid happened. We try and eat out as must as possible or get it delivered, as this helps keep them going( plus it's way easier than cooking).
i could eat all of those meals but have to admit i usually went for the steak or anything from Viva ( mexican restraunt neat french quarters) ive been to Siem Reap many many times and always loved it more than any other town or city in Cambodia. i do intend to return one day, your videos just encourage me. thank you
Oh yes, we have been to Viva a couple of times for the frozen margaritas. It's a good time there, that's for sure. Siem Reap will be a very different place when it opens up to tourists again - the roads will be amazing once they are complete. Thanks for watching.
Just saw this video about 3 weeks ago. I decided to try all the spots and the for Reil suggestions. Monday’s chicken Pad Thai was great. Wednesday, Wild, I had the Cesar salad spring rolls, 🥰. And Friday’s Little Cafe! What a huge menu. Great 👍🏻 suggestion. Tuesday’s Pho place is now a nail salon. She moved and I found them behind the theater by the roundabout downtown. Looked a bit sketchy so I passed. And Thursday along the river, every food and coffee stand is gone. The 3 I visited I will sure return again. Thanks for another great video.
That's wonderful! I miss all three of those places so much. Food is quite a bit more expensive here in PP compared to our favourites in SR. Green Kitchen Cart is now on the other side of the river: goo.gl/maps/Rgj8Hr6uy4HqdyUHA. The owner is very entrepreneurial and I didn't think she would close down just because her spot was no longer available! Thanks so much for checking in on these local places for us :)
....and a further update. Green Kitchen cart seems to have gone completely. Could find anything in their new spot near Georges Lane. We also skipped the Viet Pho (there's a very good one in Borey Prem Prey Market maps.app.goo.gl/QicRv1vQusjZJmkR7 opposite our apartment. The other three - all good!
2:50 Those funeral songs always touch the heart when I hear them in-person. I sure miss that, especially since funerals in Long Beach are not the same as the one's in Cambodia. There's more of a connective energy in Khmer Funerals in Cambodia than in Long Beach, especially when the community is allowed to share in the morning. The street processions with the monks and people wearing white especially is something we don't have in Long Beach.
I know what you mean about the funeral sounds. I imagine they wouldn't be allowed to take over the road for 6 days for a funeral in Long Beach! The procession is a really special sight to see, and the community involvement makes it really special. Thank you so much for watching!
i will try that chicken phad thai this week the rest i pass.prefer viva,temple ,red piano,pot&pan paris backery, my favorite foodstalls didnt survive covid i guess
The pad thai is fantastic! Pot & Pan do really nice pizzas and we are big fans of Temple coffee on the Wat Bo side of the river. Never eaten at Red Piano - what do you have when you eat there?
I think My little Cafe looked the best to me!. wow, great prices again, I own a Burger barf in The Kingdom of Tonga, and would love to open a place over there selling Doner kebabs and Burgers, if there is a market for western foon. the people are supposed to be very nice from what i am hearing.
They look great l liked the look of no.2 the soup, and 3. My spot for breakfast and lunch is Rathas mum and dads cafe in the west end of the Old Market. Ratha and her mum make the dishes the 4 girls do the cleaning up and dad collects the money. The cafe is one of the 2 big side by side cafes at the west end. You should try it, I’ve eaten there since 2014 so I must have had 1000 meals there I have soup and iced coffee. If you get there ask Ratha , for Gary’s soup , Ratha has really good English...
That sounds amazing! What kind of soup is it that you have there? The fact that they have been around for 7 years says a lot, and that is a long time for a restaurant to last in Siem Reap.
@@ForRiel not sure how long they were there pre 2014, but I had a gf at the time and she took me there. Before that I would have breakfast in one of the restaurants on the North side of the Old Market It’s a noodle soup with 2 meats , potato and carrot and tastes amazing, I have the same every time, I just like it so much I call Rathas mum , “mama” and she often gives me something extra when she has it, Ratha is my best friend in Siem Reap Now I’m stuck in Melbourne we talk often on messenger.
a Tip for you - You have to monetize so UA-cam will recommend your vids otherwise people will not find you. i know you do not do this for money. Just, if UA-cam doesn't make money then they won't promote you. almost at 1000! soon you'll be making LUNCH MONEY!!
Yeah! Once we get to the big 1000 we will do the things that UA-cam requires. I think it will start with a tiny trickle, but that's ok. We're happy that more people are starting to watch our channel! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Mmmmm, yes and mainly no. At Western run restaurants mainly yes, but it's very lacking at other places. I try and wear one as much as I can, to stop the dust, keeps the sun off your face and maybe helps stop the spread of C19.
Thank you soooooo much for your lovely video! So proud to be part of it!
Thank you for the amazing food that you make, and the fantastic environment you have created!
@@ForRiel But the most important thing is that it is gluten free!!!!!!
We were a bit hesitant to start off with as you just served spring rolls, what a huge mistake. Wild is amazing, you should be very proud of your achievements.
The spring rolls are so awesome.
They are the best thing ever. I can't even explain how good they are.
@@ForRiel Yes, they are really something special. I was so turned off when they gave me the menu and I realized they just westernized spring rolls....but after eating them I just had to order more and more. :D

I'm thinking of going to Wild for spring rolls again tonight. SO good :) Thanks for watching!

Loved this one. I'm a big fan of local restaurants that I wouldn't necessarily encounter.
Thank you so much, Paul! We have about 70 places to visit from the list, so many food videos to come.
We usually stick to the same ones but we are going to try and go to every restaurant we can over the next few weeks.
1,000 congrats and thank you.
It's a bit early to call it yet, but thank you :) xx
1.09k called it now. Thanks mummy.
My dinner was microwaved TV dinner -- so I'm envious of your fresh food choices. Especially, in nice warm weather and not -40C in Canada!!

It does a mean honey chicken. For every 1 restaurant open 2 have closed down. A huge amount are waiting to see what happens in Khmer New Year.

@@BIGJED75 Man that honey chicken looked gooood! I really hope KNY is back on and the local businesses do a roaring trade. One can only hope..
Great Video - Brings back so many memories. Miss my bowls of Pho - so fresh and tasty. Looking forwards to your visit to Tevy's :)
We get Tevy's delivered once a week. But we will definitely go in for a meal soon.
Yes! We haven't eaten in at Tevy's since she opened the new dining room. Definitely time for another visit.

Hello from the 100th commenter and your 1000th subscriber. Looking forward to getting back to SR/PP when I can. Love all those Indian restaurants.
You will always have a special place in our hearts, Jim! Really appreciate you being here. We have Indian around once a week. It's good to have a bit of a break from local dishes, much as I love Khmer food.
Jim for the win! Hurry back they need your money. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks Again For Sharing Claire
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for always commenting.
Thank you so much. We can't wait to visit Siem Reap this April🙂
Have fun! Just be ready for the heat.
hahahaha.......oh no....@@ForRiel
Hi guys. I've been planning on moving to Siem Reap since pre-covid and your channel has been a great information source for me. It's a toss up on the food vote, but the honey chicken has just about edged it over the springs rolls. Thanks for the all the vids and congrats on the 1k subs!
Jeremy highly rates the honey chicken as well. Siem Reap will welcome you with open arms.
Honey chicken but it does depend on the cook. Wild spring rolls are always good. So it's a toss up.
Nice to see the standard of Indian food really getting great in Cambodia . . . In Siem Reap . . . VANAKKAM INDIA was a great find , hope its still there as its been a while , . . . JUNGLE BURGER also great for ice cold beer and a treat of Western Soul Food
Absolutely agree! We have found that in general tandoori chicken is amazing here, and every Indian restaurant has great bread. I've found the curries to be a little inconsistent, and now avoid them in favour of the chicken. Jungle Burger is a great spot and they are doing well in their new location. They have definitely upgraded in terms of space and feel of the restaurant.

Hello Brian, They were playing music at the restaurant and we actually asked if they could turn it off as the funeral music was very peaceful.
I would mind trying the spring rolls at wild great video
They are amazing! Thanks for watching!
Their fried ones are top notch as well.
Hi there! Iam watching you every move, since I like ur program very much, I have some relatives who live in Phnom Penh. We are a pandemic lockdown here in Canada too. I will write u some more later on, stay safe and sound!
Oh no, I didn't realise Canada was in lockdown as well. Thanks so much for supporting us by watching our videos!
You'll love Canada --- best in the summer (perhaps of 2022). If you want a neat experience, travel to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. It is located above the 60th parallel. I lived there for 1.5 years. In the summer, the sun doesn't set --- golf tournaments begin at 11pm!
Well hopefully travel will be back to normal by then. Stay safe and warm.
That sounds amazing. Canada always looks so beautiful and I would love to visit.
Fantastic concept 💡 . One of your best videos. Pad thai and Jeremy's hunny chicken 🐔 were my choice. 😋 Please do more of these.
Thanks so much Graham! I posted in some of the expat Facebook groups asking people to tell me their favourite dish in any restaurant here, and I now have a list of 100 things to try! It will be a fun way to add some new places into our rotation, and we'll definitely be making more of these videos :) The 🐔 pad thai is SO good.
You wish is my command. Claire has a list of about 50 we have been recommended. The things we do....
OK. Have you finished testing the 50 yet? 😅
All the food looks amazing, makes me hungry instantly 😋
Yeah these are five places we visit regularly so we know that they are consistently fantastic! Thanks for watching :)
One needs to walk carefully (ice is very slippery). The cold isn't that much of an issue if you dress in heavy layers. However, it is a mental issue to prep yourself to go out into the cold --- I needed to go food shopping (2nd time I've been out this week).

We lived in England for a year and know the pleasure of ice covered footpaths. Hopefully Cambodia can keep Covid safe but it really needs tourists ASAP.
yeah, you'd need a good reason to bother going outside when the weather is like that. It would be such a struggle and so much more time-consuming.
Mmmmm that all looks so delicious 😋. 29 days to go, I'll be in PP, then SR, then down to Kampot to hang out there awhile. 😉
Yeah I think all of those places are still going, too! The food in Siem Reap is the best!
I always get hungry watching vids like this. Larb is one of my favourites that I make at home. Thanks for the 'eye candy', YUM!
Ohh I had a larb last night and it was amazing! I love its freshness and flavour combination, but would never attempt to make one myself :)
$12.50 for 5 lunches. What a bargain. That is what costing me in Sydney Australia for a cup of coffee and a serving of peanut butter toast for breakfast. Looking forward to be able to travel internationally again. Already targeting Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore as the next destinations.

Yeah prices back home are outrageous. The price of a beer in a pub, for example. How can anyone afford that?
@@ForRiel Please don't remind us about the price of beer in Aus vs KH Claire!! $50 for a slab of Angkor in Springvale...sigh....
Good eats on the cheap.
Thanks for the vidz kidz.
Yeah, the value is very good here, and you don't have to sacrifice sitting in a nice place, either. Thanks for watching!
Fun Vlog, we eat out a lot as it's sometimes cheaper than cooking at home. Well I tell myself that, plus it helps keep the restaurants running during this hard time.
Some great lunch spots here and so cheap!!
Yes, we are incredibly fortunate here, and I am lucky to work on a street that has so many great lunch options. Thank you for watching!
That is just 5 of at least 100 different places in Siem Reap. The amount of restaurants and international airport is what attached us here, it's been just unfortunate that Covid happened. We try and eat out as must as possible or get it delivered, as this helps keep them going( plus it's way easier than cooking).
@@BIGJED75 i bet. My dads from Siem Reap. He probably know a few hole in the wall locations.

I'm getting hungry looking at All that Amazing Cambodia food, can't wait to get back there after Covid restrictions end ...
Food in Siem Reap is very good. We are missing all of those places right now, but that pad thai in particular was the most amazing lunch dish.
I would live to try them all. I have had Khmer needles and I have enjoyed them.
They are all outstanding! I have a big weakness for noodles, though :)

Great lunches... yummy 🤤
Thank you! Nice to see you here. :)
We have to do a whole list of Vlogs of places to eat still stuggling by.
those green must be mixed in the food Jeremy.
Haha yes I think they would have tasted better mixed in!
The vegetarians cost almost nothing😂 thank you.😍❤❤
You're welcome 😊
i will try that chicken phad thai this week the rest i pass.prefer viva,temple ,red piano,pot&pan paris backery, my favorite foodstalls didnt survive covid i guess
The pad thai is fantastic! Pot & Pan do really nice pizzas and we are big fans of Temple coffee on the Wat Bo side of the river. Never eaten at Red Piano - what do you have when you eat there?

I think My little Cafe looked the best to me!. wow, great prices again, I own a Burger barf in The Kingdom of Tonga, and would love to open a place over there selling Doner kebabs and Burgers, if there is a market for western foon. the people are supposed to be very nice from what i am hearing.
Sounds great! My little Cafe is still open and doing well.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
They look great l liked the look of no.2 the soup, and 3.
My spot for breakfast and lunch is Rathas mum and dads cafe in the west end of the Old Market.
Ratha and her mum make the dishes the 4 girls do the cleaning up and dad collects the money. The cafe is one of the 2 big side by side cafes at the west end.
You should try it, I’ve eaten there since 2014 so I must have had 1000 meals there I have soup and iced coffee.
If you get there ask Ratha , for Gary’s soup , Ratha has really good English...
That sounds amazing! What kind of soup is it that you have there? The fact that they have been around for 7 years says a lot, and that is a long time for a restaurant to last in Siem Reap.
@@ForRiel not sure how long they were there pre 2014, but I had a gf at the time and she took me there.
Before that I would have breakfast in one of the restaurants on the North side of the Old Market
It’s a noodle soup with 2 meats , potato and carrot and tastes amazing, I have the same every time, I just like it so much
I call Rathas mum , “mama” and she often gives me something extra when she has it, Ratha is my best friend in Siem Reap
Now I’m stuck in Melbourne we talk often on messenger.
Gary are they still going? I will have a look next time I'm down there.
@@BIGJED75 yes they are...Ratha always says when they have a day off...the last one was a couple of days ago
@garyroberts3859 do you have a Google Maps link for Rathas?
...asking for a friend...
Great places for lunch, But I’m a little disappointed, I expected Claire to do her best imitation of Mark Weins , regards Peter ,
Haha, I haven't got my eye roll, or as he calls it, my 'delicious face' down just yet!
Food Vlogging is a art form he has mastered. Plus I think we would burst into flames if we ate that amount of chilli.
Cesar spring roll
Yeah! They are my pick as well :)
I get extra sauce and crumbs, mmmm. That's a pro tip.
❤️❤️❤️
a Tip for you - You have to monetize so UA-cam will recommend your vids otherwise people will not find you. i know you do not do this for money. Just, if UA-cam doesn't make money then they won't promote you. almost at 1000! soon you'll be making LUNCH MONEY!!
Yeah! Once we get to the big 1000 we will do the things that UA-cam requires. I think it will start with a tiny trickle, but that's ok. We're happy that more people are starting to watch our channel! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
We are going to donate every cent back to Cambodia. So hopefully we can buy lunch for many people in the future.
Hi which side is The Little Green Cart on please
Old Market side - this map is pretty accurate: goo.gl/maps/KmEFKqMYJ7D7XhBCA
Very interesting. Where on River Rd is the Vegan Salad Kitchen?
This map is accurate, except for the pin being on the wrong side of the street: goo.gl/maps/gWpPojiUjhJExEFZA
@@ForRiel Wonderful! Thanks. I pass that spot daily, and had never noticed it :)
She is a lovely happy owner. You may be lucky enough to see the monkey that no one can catch.
@@BIGJED75 Cool :)
Isn't doesn't get any more riel than this!
Such great food! Green Kitchen Cart has moved but is still going.
Are masks being worn? Wow a lot of food!!!
Yes, masks are required in supermarkets, and many people wear them a the markets here.
Mmmmm, yes and mainly no. At Western run restaurants mainly yes, but it's very lacking at other places. I try and wear one as much as I can, to stop the dust, keeps the sun off your face and maybe helps stop the spread of C19.
a plethora of Indian restaurants there and none made your list?
We love Indian but we don't generally have it for lunch. That's why none in this list of 5.
@@ForRiel We've been to Siem Reap half a dozen times, last trip was just to eat at various Indian places. 🤣
