Good Food In Phnom Penh's Red Light District.
[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2157138] PP is very limited so a 3 or 4 night stay is all you really need. Good food in PP around the RLD is also a struggle but a cheap tuk tuk ride to Street 302 or Street 360 can solve that.[/QUOTE]What Banana Boi says is true. As BB noted, PP's RLD iis a fairly small area. The area can be navigated on foot almost anywhere in about 20 minutes (ok, 30-40 minutes by me). Or, a tuk tuk will take you anywhere in this area for $1. I would define the boundaries of this RLD as Sisowath Quay (riverside) on the north, Street 104 on the west, Street 136 on the east and Street 51 (Pasteur) on the south. Most of the pussy palaces are on Streets 104,110, 130,136, and 5. I have only eaten at three places within this area: "Ohlala" on the corner of Street 136 and Sisowath Quay and "Ostro" a block away on the corner of 135 and 5. Ostro is open 24 hours. Both serve good western food and offer entertaining people watching. Both have a wide selection of grub available at reasonable prices. On the corner of Street 110 and Street 5 I would recommend "Larry's 110". There is a big sign outside with a "110" on it. (clever, eh?) Nice pub-type atmosphere and lots of choices of food at moderate prices. At all three places noted above, there are a lot of westerners and a few locals; Larry's has a large expat clientele. If you are "adventurous", maybe you'd like to sample Srey Mom or Srey Thida. LOL.
If you crave some good Mexican grub, I can recommend a couple of places outside of the RLD. Only about a $2 to $2.50 tuk tuk ride away. I really, really like Mexican food. The first is "Mexicano". Warning: I found the servings to be generous. I'd advise ordering a main item and waiting to see if you really want or need more. Mexicano is on Street 288 between Streets 57 and 63. The other is called Tacqueria Corona on the corner of Streets 51 and 254. It is owned by an American expat and managed by his Khmer wife. Both places are popular with expats, tourists and local Khmer.
All places noted above are moderately priced. I've added some links referencing the above for a quick look. Chow down!
