You are not the first one to intrigue me and cause me to think about checking out a spot. That has to be one of the best parts of the Vancouver food blogging community!

Hi ET,

Thanks for reminding me of Phnom Penh. I have planned to visit that place for ages yet every single time I forget about it… If I drop by, I will keep your recommendation in mind; however, I will not make any comparison between the dry noodles and ramen or Taiwanese noodles. In a way it is comparing apple to oranges, as there is no broth in the dry noodles to compare against. And, as you are aware, that’s a key part of ramen and Taiwanese noodles!

Hi shokutus,

If I managed to convince somebody to visit one of the restaurants I blogged, in a way I feel I did my job. And no, I am not paid to write a blog!

I have to say that as a Japanese ramen lover, I am now more motivated to give this a try after seeing your post. To me, the pork and the noodles both look good. But I cannot imagine what the broth tastes like. I am headed there tomorrow, hope they are open.

Hey Kim, give the “dry” noodles at Phnom Penh a try and see how you like them (e.g. what we had @ our dinner with Ben and Suanne). They have a bit more of a “SE Asian” flavour to them, and are quite different from the Japanese or Taiwanese noodles.

Now, I am not saying the Phnom Penh noodles are sublime, but man, they sure are tasty and will be something quite different than what you have blogged about.
