Located above Pharmacie de la Gare near Vattanac Tower, after climbing a few flights of stairs, guests find themselves in a wooden interior evocative of mid-1800s Battambang. The menu, however, seems more influenced by the food of the Lower Mekong, where Cambodia’s east meets Vietnam’s south: lots of fish soups and curries, crunchy vegetables, and tart and fermented flavors. La’Baab’s fish amok is perfectly balanced, the curry’s palm sugar sweetness offset by the slight bitterness of the noni leaves, a defining ingredient that is regularly omitted in the Kingdom’s more tourist-oriented restaurants. Another standout is the mam, a dish more popular in Cambodian homes than restaurants. Milder than prahok, here braised mam was served with fatty pork belly, adding an extra rich layer to the sweet, fermented fish.

Sovanna Restaurant

Sovanna Restaurant has something to offer just about everyone. They have a newer, more upscale restaurant a few doors down, and have recently renovated the original. Even though Sovanna has lost the dirty-beer-garden feel it once had, the food is still excellent. The grilled beef and pork, tender, smoky and slightly sweet, are the standouts, but the sngor chrouk trey, fish soup with a lemongrass broth, lime juice, and fresh herbs, is not to be missed. Their menu has photographs and English translations, making this a good first Khmer BBQ experience for out-of-town visitors.

Open daily, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Phnom Penh restaurant review Romdeng

Romdeng specializes in traditional and modern Khmer dishes, like this plate of beef and red ants.

Romdeng – closed during COVID-19 until further notice

If you’re only in town for a few days and want to try the best of Cambodian cuisine, head to Romdeng. Located in a beautifully restored French colonial building, the restaurant serves traditional Khmer dishes, modern Cambodian cuisine, and even a few “creepy-crawly” dishes, such as deep-fried tarantulas and stir-fried red ants. Be warned that if you order the tarantula dish they’ll bring a live tarantula to your table to freak you out. The menu also features several vegetarian options and salads, so there’s something for everyone. The cocktails are not to be missed; they’re creative and addictive.

Romdeng is part of the Mith Samlanh “Friends” organization that helps train street kids and at-risk youth to work in the hospitality industry. So pat yourself on the back for eating there, and don’t be afraid to tip.

Open daily, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. (last order at 9:30 p.m.)
74 Street 174, Phnom Penh

The best way to be able to afford a place is to get more people in it. You’re much more likely to find an apartment in your budget if you can split the rent with a roommate.

For example, an apartment building may rent a 1-bedroom apartment for $800 and a 2-bedroom apartment for $1200. If you find a roommate for a 2-bedroom and split rent down the middle, that’s $200 a month in savings! Not to mention, you’ll also save by splitting things like utility bills and furniture.

If you don’t know of any suitable candidates to move in with, use these tips on how to find a roommate.

2. Avoid Popular Moving Seasons

Although unit availability goes up during popular moving times for renters, the increased demand drives rent prices up substantially too. Make sure you understand how seasonality affects the rental market.

Take into account where you’re looking to live. Are there universities nearby? Areas that are close to colleges and universities tend to experience the highest turnover of renters between semesters, especially during the summer.

3. Know What Questions to Ask Your Future Landlord

Have your bases covered and know the ins and outs of the property before applying. Does the property charge extra for pets or parking? Pet fees and deposits can run around $500, and monthly pet rent could tack on an extra $15-$50 a month.

4. Search for Rent Specials

Brand new building in your area? Don’t assume you can’t afford to live there just because it’s shiny and new!

New apartment properties often offer rent specials to attract new renters. A free month of rent or discounted security deposit are common move-in specials. Some offer additional perks too, like parking spaces and full gyms. Although these are common in newer buildings, you can find rent specials across a variety of aparments in your city.

5. Look Into Middle-Floor Units

Rent prices tend to be higher for units that are either on the lower or higher levels of the building. This is because people love great views, and want easy access to their homes.

If you’re willing to have a less-than-perfect view and take the stairs/elevator instead of coming in straight off the street, you could save yourself big bucks.

Apartment hunting can be challenging, but with these tips, you can cut down on the unpleasant elements and find the perfect match!

1. Keep your morning routine

Continue to set your alarm and go through your normal morning habits like you would for going into the office. The more quickly you start to associate your home environment with your work, the more smoothly you can transition to telecommuting.

2. Set daily and weekly goals

If you have extra time now that you’re not commuting to work in the mornings, take a few minutes each day to plan out the work goals you want to accomplish. Use these daily objectives to build up to one larger weekly goal that contributes to your projects and assignments.

3. Make time for breaks

It might feel strange at first, but you can schedule more short breaks throughout your day with telecommuting. Be sure to set aside at least five minutes between tasks to step away from your desk and refresh. The freedom to stop, reflect and reset during your day can help you stay productive, as you’re less likely to experience burnout.

4. Use time management techniques

It can be easy to lose track of time when working remotely, so it’s important to incorporate some time management techniques that can help you monitor how long you’re spending on certain tasks. The Pomodoro Method, for example, is a great strategy for setting you up to work for two to three hours, then encouraging you to take a 20- to 30-minute break.

5. Designate a workspace

Create a workspace for yourself in a separate room of your home, or if you have limited space, set up a spot somewhere where you can comfortably work without noise and distractions. Set a boundary that lets others in the household know that the area you designate as your home office is off-limits when you’re working.

6. Participate in online training

If your company offers opportunities for professional development, consider participating. Similarly, consider participating in online training or courses that can help you boost your skills and advance in your career. Learning new skills and increasing your industry knowledge can help you stay motivated to succeed in your career and keep you productive.

7. Ask for regular feedback

Just like regular face time with your team is important, asking for regular feedback from your supervisors is essential to understand how your team leads and managers see your performance. Knowing exactly where you can improve, along with the aspects of your work that are above standard, can help you stay excited about your work.
