Although Phnom Penh has countless options for eating and drinking.  Every time I hear about a new cafe or restaurant, I hear myself saying, “Great, I’ll have to try that some day”. But some day never comes, and I find myself at the same old places week in week out. 


That was one of the reasons I decided to start blogging about Phnom Penh.  If I want to keep writing new things, I’m going to have to keep trying new places, right?


So today, the Boy and I decided to head to Gasolina for lunch.  I’d heard of Gasolina a couple of times and driven past a few times but hadn’t really heard whether it was any good.  Only one way to find out then!  

When I saw those daybeds I almost wished I had a novel to curl up with.


We ended up settling down on the shady terrace.

I just ordered a starter, as I wasn’t very hungry.  The boy ordered a barbequed beef steak, which they barbeque in front of you.

My starter was huge!

Well, at least I thought so until I saw the Boy’s BBQ.  When he ordered we were debating which side to order, but we needed of worried because it comes with ALL the sides.

It was a feast and all for the grand sum of US$8! (My fried potato starter was $3.50)


We were both stuffed at the end of it, but couldn’t resist the Chocolate Mousse, so we managed to squeeze this bad boy in too!
