It was my parent's 33rd Anniversary, so we the children decided to bring them to try something interesting and different! =) I heard about this Cambodian food somewhere not far from east coast, so being the adventurous us, we trooped down to Khemet Delight =)It's quite a quaint and pretty little restaurant, not very grand or fanciful, but simple and chic. The staff was very friendly, all wearing i think some cambodian outfit that looks pretty good. The food was quite ok too! not say extremely shiok, but not too bad i must say. We ordered quite a few dishes, but i remember the spring roll was good, the sauce was yummy, the long beans with mini prawn chilli was quite tasty too,... and the soup was great! i like spicy stuff, so it suited by taste buds totally! the curry fish was unqiue too! my mum loved that dish.

Bought $40 discount coupons for Cambodian buffet for two ($20/pax). Very worth the money!When we arrived, the waitress very politely told us that the coupons couldn’t be used for Saturday dinners. The waitress gave us Alicia’s, the director, number and I called her. A generalization: The first instinct that Singaporean patrons do when things don’t go their way is to shout at the service staff. I think it reflects very badly on the patrons, but it’s like the patrons are merely venting their work or love or family frustration on the staff. It makes the service staff feel bad and you might not get things done your way. This is what I did:“Hello Alicia. My friend and I are at your restaurant now and we want to use the discount coupon. It isn’t stated anywhere that we can’t use it for Saturday dinners and when we made reservations, informing that we would be using coupons, the waitress didn’t tell us. We don’t live around here so as a form of good will, do you mind allowing us to use the coupons please?”She said very sweetly, “Yes, sure.”See what you can achieve if you’re polite and use reason, instead high decibel, using words like “please” and ending with a question, instead of a demand. Use charm, don’t use force.For a buffet, the food was pretty damn good! The food tasted like a cross between Chinese and Thai cuisine but without the intense spiciness of Thai food. Special mentions: spare ribs, spring roll, fish amok and eggplant. I liked the fish amok because it was otah using real fish you can see; although the spare ribs weren’t too tender, the sauce was spectacular, like a honey bbq sauce with herbs such as anise, I think. Mao Mao and I both loved the crispy, not oily spring roll, which tasted more flavorful than normal Chinese ones. Mao Mao liked the way the eggplant was cooked, not too soggy or gluey. Another plus point: all the food were hot and freshly prepared.Of course, my philosophy is no matter how stuff you’re, ALWAYS end a meal with desserts, which unfortunately aren’t in the Buffet list. So we ordered: Banana Sesame Fritters with Ice Cream ($6.90); Durian Paste.No shit jokes about the banana fritters, please. The hot banana on cold ball of ice cream – such a turn on. The D24 durian paste was awesome, probably better than the Merchant Court one, and I ate all of it myself.The food came out slowly but hey at least they were piping hot and delicious. The service was good, smiling faces all round and they refilled water fast. Best service staff: The waitress. We tried to say “Thank You” in Cambodian to them, and the waiter said, laughing, “I’m not Cambodian.” Hahaha. We saw a couple waiting at the door for a long time but the wait staff was dishing out the food and the couple walked away. I thought the staff could have sat the couple first to retain customers. Not enough servers? The ambience is run-of-the-mill for a mid-range restaurant. Given the value-for-money food, we’d definitely return. Khmer Delight should be renamed Comer’s Delight. Oh, what happened to the tarantula spiders? Didn’t see it on the menu no more.

I have decided to give Chicken Hotpot a second chance when I chanced upon this outlet at the newly opened Bedok Point. As usual, the queue was very long and the smell was just as tempting.One thing I do not really like about this outlet was the seating arrangement. Diners and shoppers are separated only by a thin piece of glass the height of seated diners. Thus, whenever people walk pass us, I can literally imagine them staring at our food while talking, saliva landing on our plates or they can simply grab our food and go. I would most definitely not want to sit by the side again.Regarding the food, the serving was small so we took a plate of mushrooms as add-on for the small little hotpots. The fire was rather big and difficult to control so the person had to keep refilling the soup base until it tasted diluted, with soggy fries inside.I believe this is one of the restaurants where one try is really sufficient already.
