CURRY LAKSA NOODLES @ PHNOM PENH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Taste of Asia Restuarant, Departure Lounge, Phnom Penh International Airport, Cambodia - December 2014

I was looking for some reasonably priced good food while waiting to board a plane at Phnom Penh International Airport and found this pretty delicious Curry Laksa at the Taste Of Asia Restaurant.
This isn't Cambodian food per se, but since I ate it in Cambodia, I will put it under the Cambodian food category.
To me the most important part of curry noodles is the curry soup. Good ingredients with lousy curry just don't go well; I would rather prefer a bowl with simple ingredients and good curry anytime. The soup here is of the thin type, without too much santan (coconut milk) it's somewhat similar to Penang's White Curry Mee; and definitely very different from the thick soup of Kuala Lumpur's one.
This one was flavourful, just adequately salty and sweet and I detected a hint of mince dired prawns. They did provide sugar to add on for those with a sweet tooth of genuine Cambodian or Thai food.

The noodles came with several medium-sized prawns which had imparted part of their flavour into the soup. Other ingredients included slices of tau kuah (semi-soft bean curd), slices of fish cake, half section of a half-boiled egg. I liked the fish cake very much, soft and slightly bouncy they had a good taste of fish.
The noodles were the white laksa noodles like that of Penang's Assam Laksa but without the bouncy bite. It went well with the soup and crunchy bean sprouts.

Overall, it's definitely a dish that I would not hesitate to try again when at the airport. At USD6-70 it's one of the more economically priced good food at the airport (that's airport captured market pricing for you!).
