The best part of the meal was the dessert. This banana pudding was divine. A really soft and sweet tapioca pudding with pieces of cooked banana, topped with a coconut sorbet and banana chips, with a chocolate soil and rice crackers. Every bite was sooo beautiful. Amazing textures and it was sweet but not overly so, I definitely could’ve had more.

My partner Yonas had the vegan burger, which was quite a disappointment. Very small, with a dry bun and a very mushy bean and lentil patty that was lacking in seasoning, once again. The vegan cheese was flavourless, and it didn’t have any fresh ingredients! It desperately needed something fresh or acidic to liven it up a little. The fries were very nice though. But for 9 USD, this was not worth it.

This was an interesting take on a lok lak. The meatballs were really nice, I loved the texture and they were very umami in flavour. The sauce was kind of like a sweet and sour sauce, and there wasn’t any of that lime and pepper flavour that is so distinctive of a lok lak, which was just weird. A little lacking again in salt and in flavour. The rice was nice, but unseasoned. And I’m never down for steamed and unseasoned veggies. Come on guys, you can do so much more with broccoli! 12 USD

After a sad breakfast and a sad lunch, I was excited to go to Jomno for their more upscale dining. I wasn’t amazed by the food, but it was nice overall. This beet tartare was very gentle in flavour. It had a vegan feta which I couldn’t taste. A few bites had fresh kampot peppercorns in them which was really delicious. Definitely needed salt, which was a trend for the whole evening. This place is a little more pricey than average, not sure if the food lived up to the price. 6.50 USD

Perfect starter. Vegan fine dining. This comes with the taste of beetroot and looks likes the non vegan option.

I really liked the #lentils on this dish, they were really flavorful and the addition of #arugula gave me my #greens fix. This dish was my favorite of the evening because of that! I'm not sure about the #watermelon though. Don't get me wrong I love watermelon ....but it really just tasted like watermelon, and not a #tuna replacement. To claim watermelon tuna one should at least make some effort to transform the fruit into a different texture or flavor right? Well there wasn't much in terms of change , so I found it a bit odd just eating some tubes of watermelon with a lentil salad lol 😆

This sounded better than it was but still wasn't bad. I just read the description with a lot of my favorite things ... #avocado , #beets, #cashew, #feta, etc and thought it was gonna be amazing ....and it wasn't . #justokay The presentation was very pretty, #veganart indeed. And the taste ...well it was earthy and healthy but a bit like baby food 😂 A nice place with great service and ambiance. #vegancambodia

Thin sliced grilled abalone#mushrooms were the thing here on this starter from Jomno. served with a little #arugula and basil oil. I wasn't overly impressed with anything from this place to be honest but it was a nice starter to share with the table and it was tasty!

The better of the mains I tried at Jomno from their #plantbased menu. #mushroom meatballs in a gingery sauce with some turmeric #rice and a sprinkling of veggies. Came out looking nice and tasting good too, nothing that blew my mind but a thoughtfully prepared well rounded vegan dish.

I can't say many nice things about this #veganburger unfortunately. It was dry, boring and the #vegancheese the menu mentioned was seen but not tasted and didn't add anything to the burger. The bread to burger ratio was far off the mark and the bean based patty was meh. Bready, super dry and forgettable, this could turn someone off vegan food entirely and falls into some serious #tryharder territory. #cambodia

Not a bad dish, but the sauce was a little too creamy and not super strong in flavour other than coconut milk. But I loved the veggies and you could tell the noodles were homemade and super chewy!! So it had potential, just need to work on the sauce.

This vegan take on a traditional Khmer dish was really good! The meatballs were made from mushrooms and had a soft and chewy texture that I really liked. The sauce was the true star of this dish, it was the perfect balance of sweet and savoury and salty. This restaurant is beautiful also, and has a whole vegan section of the menu.
