Experience Details

Sample Menu

DESSERT
Lemon & Lemongrass
Inspired by a recipe common in traditional Khmer medicine, lemon being an excellent tonic while the infusion of lemongrass has proven anti-fungal.
STARTER
Ginger & Red Chili
The spiciest flavour of the range, combining 2 hot flavours that have been smoothly softened. Ideal to wake up any kind of appetite.
STARTER
Mango & Green Chili
With a high fruity tang, relatively sweet, and a pleasant spicy touch, this flavour is the women's favourite. It can be enjoyed as an apéritif
STARTER
Galangal & Tamarind
Clearly the most exotic flavours of Sombai, mixing the sweetness and acidity of the candied tamarind to the spicy aroma of the fresh galangal.
STARTER
Anise & Coffee
Expert combination of Cambodian badian (star anise) and coffee beans. Ideal as an apéritif to enjoy the natural virtues of anise and coffee.
DESSERT
Banana & Cinnamon
A blend of sweet and spicy, the prevalent taste of cinnamon gives a festive touch to this flavour. Perfect to accompany a dessert.
STARTER
Coconut & Pineapple
Cambodian version of the Piña-Colada, with a sweet hint and coconut predominance. So be careful, this drink can be scrumptiously treacherous.
