ABBEY: Singapore Zam Zam is a famous restaurant in Arab Street. You won’t miss it if you go there; it’s always packed and some staff are outside the place just to invite diners to come in. I ordered one of the item they were known for: murtabak. I got chicken and sardine. They are full of flavor and not that spicy. One serving is for sharing so bring a friend.

WILL: Looking for a luscious Indian meal? Be practical and head to the one and only Singapore ZamZam. Oh, you won’t spend too much in here! You do not need to.
I ordered a vegetarian mee goreng and sardine murtabak. The sardine murtabak injected joy in me. The bread is thin, bit crispy and suits with fish curry sauce. Mee goreng filled up my tummy. Spiciness is delicate.
Definitely recommended! A 10-min walk from Bugis MRT.
ABBEY: Silk Air flew us from Singapore to Cambodia and back. We landed safely after a 2-hour flight. I feel comfortable in my seat specially my legs. :) There are less passengers in the return trip thus we have more room for ourselves. Food is good and the staff attended to us to their best.
WILL: SilkAir is a subsidiary of Singapore Air, and because they are related, as usual, sometimes they are way cheaper than the budget airlines if you hit a promotion or you booked 60 days early.
We booked our roundtrip plane from Singapore to Siem Reap. 30kgs baggage and food is included. A very reasonable price of SGD294.40 per pax
The plane do not have its own tv per seat but they do have an app that you can connect while in plane and watch a movie or tv series. Food serving is small and not that tasty. I do not complain, better to have one than nothing at all. Hehe. Seat color looks untidy. Hope they will change their color theme.
After a whole day walk during the temple tour, we had a late lunch at New Leaf. It is a social enterprise restaurant where they are donating part of their profits to charity.
I ordered Vegetable curry. It has pumpkin, long beans, cauliflower, and broccoli. The curry is on the sweet side but I liked it, and it is creamy as well.
High Tea buffet in the Living Room at Park Hyatt Siem Reap
We decided to splurge a little and we booked a reservation at Park Hyatt to have high tea. It was presented very well; looks like pieces of jewelry.
It has sliders, cookies, panettone, macarons, and cakes. Teas, coffees, and juices are on free flow. I like the sliders and macarons the most. Make sure to put no sugar on your coffee, the icing on the cookies will complement the taste.
Temple Design Restaurant
For out dinner after a day of temple tour, we happened to eat at a bar and restaurant with the name Temple. I was attracted by their grilled dishes but ended up ordering “adobo”-like dish. At first spoonful it really was adobo but on the sweeter side. The pork meat as well as the fat melts in your mouth. Enough to fill me up and give me satisfaction and comfort after a day’s walk. They also serve local and Western dishes.

WILL:We visited once the PUB Night Market but Abbey and I are too old for all those noise and too crowded place.
To get some good local food we chose to dine at:
New Leaf Eatery - we had our late lunch here. It is indeed an award after all the long walk and battle against sunrays. Once you are seated, you will be welcomed by a drink and a cold towel! Wohhoooo! A quencher! I ordered the famous fish amok. Everything is awesome. From the way of serving up to its taste. The sauce is creamy and doesn’t lack any flavour. Super!
A nap after the temple tour, we decided to walk (500m) to Temple Design Restaurant. It is located at the corner of Ring Boutique Street. What funny is, the alcoholic drinks have the same price as sodas. Haha. I went for the Nom Banh Chock. And it only costs USD2.50 on their promotion. The noodles were perfectly firm and the sauce complemented it well. While dining, we got a chance to watch a UFC fightthrough their huge tv screen. This is way lot cheaper than eating at their PUB street.
Saturday is layback time for us. Before going to our hot air balloon ride, we took a high tea at The Living Room of Park Hyatt Siem Reap. I keep wondering how this 3-tier small bite bread/desserts can fill my stomach? On their Festive High Tea menu, some of the bread selection reminds us of what we are eating in the Philippines on our childhood days. For me, the price (US$35)is pretty steep, you may look for an alternative when you visit Siem Reap.
That’s the three restaurants that marked on our Siem Reap visit. Hope this list will help you.
