Khmer Angkor - Kaiapoi

The food we ordered was fantastic! The spice level on the carrot salad warmed us up on a cold night. The seafood lemongrass curry hugged us with its warmth and authentic taste. The menu is extensive and there's still so much we need to try. We can tell the food was prepared with care and love. Can't wait to visit again next time we're in town.

Tonight my partner and I visited this Restaurant for the first time and there was a street food event. The layout and atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. We were seated by a friendly staff member and handed our menus for us to explore the delicacies. As we looked over the menus, Amit came over very friendly and helpful while we chose starters. From the street menu we chose the Pani Puri, this dish was a crisp sphere filled with spiced potato, onion and tamarind chutney with a mint flavoured water dressing. Amit explained that to thoroughly enjoy this dish you fill the spheres with the mint water and put straight into your mouth. The explosion of flavours just burst over the tastebuds in a sea of wonder as the crisp puffy spheres barriers cracked and the minty liquid heightened the spice of the contents inside. Perfection! We also had Tokoyaki Balls and I must say these were the most creamiest I've ever had them. It was an absolute joy with the textures, the octopus was nice to chew, not hard and rubbery and freshly cooked straight to the table on a nice wooden plate with a pickled side dish. For the mains we ordered Braised Pork Belly which is braised in Soy and Five Spice garnished with rice, asian greens and a boiled egg lightly fried which is also something I've never experienced before with similar dishes and I absolutely loved it! The soy broth was very enjoyable and not overpowering with spices, a perfect combination for the pork belly which was perfectly braised that you could literally slice it with your tongue. The other dish was the Seafood Lemongrass which was prawns, squid and mussels stir-fried in a spicy red curry with a Lemongrass paste with coconut. This dish was just WOW! The combination of flavours complimented each other, nothing overpowered the other it was a hit of flavour after flavour with every bite. You could taste the flavours of the sea followed up by the hit of curry and Lemongrass and smoothed off with a hint of coconut. The seafood and vegetables were cooked nicely and the look of the dish was really appealing. We absolutely had a wonderful night and experience and will definitely be returning to try the many other available dishes. Thank you Amit and everyone who cooked and served these fine dishes and made the night something to treasure always.

The best of best. The food was very authentic. The duck curry and padthai..omg! Amazing guys. Keep up the good work

First time trying here while revisiting Chch. The satay noodles takes me back to my uni days, the broth was very nice balance of sweet and savoury. The rice rolls are also very freshly made and yummy. Overall can't go wrong with this place and the lady who served us whom I assume is the owner as well, was very friendly and nice.

Absolutely comforting food on a chilling early December night. Noodles soup was satisfying with deep flavour , Satay stick pack with full savour. Ordered Prawn roll (Summer roll) but Kitchen has incidentally missed out due to packed orders Small matters to us. Huge range of Asian food!
