So the owners of the Street Monkeys restaurant, Tota Oung and Hillary Romero, gave this easy-to-remember name to their new business.

A short and simple menu of three noodles and three sandwiches, with a few “sides” and desserts, constitutes the offer to eat in or take away.

The Phnom Penh khuy teav is a must, with three-way pork (chopped, bbq and pressed) and two-way shrimp (whole and meatballs), on seasoned rice (or egg) noodles. The broth is served on the side and we wet our noodles a little, a lot or not at all.

The sandwiches have a certain kinship with the Vietnamese banh mi, but on lighter bread thanks to the addition of rice flour in the dough.

Starting in September, you should also be able to order an alcoholic drink (local beer or artisan wine) with your meal and/or small purchases made at the grocery store.
