What's wrong with this picture

O.K. It is a well known fact that at most Restaurants in Phnom Penh you rearely get everything on the menu. Below is an Example of what this restaurant did... Pick out something from an American menu that someone saw. It looked Cool so they put it on their menu to be hip and attract all the Westerners in the city to their restaurant. Problem is, their all day is obviously,,.. Not All Day! This particular place advertises 12 types of hot tea! WOW! 12 types, Way too Cool. Actually they have never carried 5 of the varieties they advertise in the menu. They have reprinted the menu at leas twice. The same items they DONT have go right back in the menu. They just smile if you order it again the next time and kind of look at you with an expression of..."Don't you remember we don't have that...WE'LL NEVER HAVE THAT! but no, they actually smile sweetly and just say "No Have" It's all part of the service with a Cambodian Smile. You as a customer never get upset at any of this because they have no idea anything is wrong... Load the menu with 40 items you don't really carry, or serve. As long as you order something they figure they have made money. Last night we ate here and my meal arrived a full hour after Cynthia's. There were only 6 people in the restaurant, including us. That is normal and nothing to get upset about. Just make sure you don't have anything planned for the evening. This place will teach you patience, or it will drive you crazy. Better to just go with the flow and "let it go."
