Khmer Thai
Housed in a space formerly occupied by a fast-food restaurant, Khmer Thai bears some grim reminders of it's former life: mustard yellow walls, Formica tables and bulb-less fluorescent light fixtures. However, don't be put off by the shoddy decor. The food at Khmer Thai is delicious, authentic and served in plentiful portions. Check out the "Kako Khmer," a savory-sweet mixture of chicken, jackfruit, green papaya, eggplant and long bean. The Khmer's casual atmosphere and generous portions make it the ideal place to go and refuel after a day spent cycling around the city.
