Just checked with them and The Snacker ice cream is not dairy free even though they advertise it like this. They add “a little condensed milk and fresh milk” for the consistency. So, not vegan or suitable for anyone with a dairy allergy.

Shame… it looks delicious.

In reply to Heli. I think all of these places are on Google Maps so you should be able to find them. Enjoy!

A map would serve well those of us who visit Phnom Penh for the first time and happen to be one of those people who get lost in their own back yard…

In reply to NK. I'd say going to specialist veggie restaurants are a much safer bet if you're not of the "don't ask, don't tell" variety of vegetarian. Fish sauce, oyster sauce, chicken powder, etc. are used in many, if not all, entirely vegetable dishes at Khmer restaurants. Taste Budz is really good, but that z in Budz irks me.

Oh, and this might be the most obvious tip imaginable to some, but if you want a meal that consists almost exclusively of fresh and raw vegetables in large quantity, there’s always Fatboy Subs on 130. A vegetarian footlong sub is $5.50 and they’ll load whatever you ask for onto it. They bake their own bread fresh every day, too. It’s simple fare but extremely satisfying. It’s like Subway, but not gross. And as a bonus, they have never hired a monstrous pedophile as their spokesperson and my prediction is that they never will – it’s right there in the name. Fat Boy. It’s not about weight loss so they don’t need any Jared’s darkening their doo. Though it’s true that the vegetarian sub is potentially very healthy (less so if you load it up with cheese or mayonnaise or olive oil etc but still.)
