\"\"The Half Moon, famed for its legendary Tuesday curries is branching out into delicious Cambodian Food. The\u00a0 successful Horsington-based business, KHYMER KITCHEN, which has been wowing them in Bruton and Wincanton with their pop-up restaurant during the summer is coming to Horsington’s Half Moon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make a note in your diary. Reserve a table. It’s a 3-course Cambodian Tasting Menu at only \u00a325 a head. Saturday evening, 20th January 2018<\/p>\n

Khymer Kitchen is the brainchild of Simon Allen and his Cambodian wife Neang. They write:<\/p>\n

“Khmer Cuisine is the food of The Kingdom of Cambodia. If you were to imagine a cross between Thai, Vietnamese and French cuisine\u2019s with influences from Southern India, Sri Lanka and Mainland China you might begin to imagine what\u2019s in store for you.<\/p>\n

Khmer Cuisine is less spicy than Thai food. The Khmer prefer their hot chilies on the side. Also the presence, for over a century, of French colonial rule has introduced aspects of French cuisine to the Khmer palette. The Khmer now have a hundred year old tradition of Baguette making, among other things.<\/p>\n

At Khmer Kitchen we have taken a selection of the best loved Cambodian food and, without loosing authenticity, have expanded upon it to incorporate the kind of choice that British food lovers expect.<\/p>\n

They include: Dumplings, Noodle Dishes and Soups, Curries, (Amok and Lok Lak etc), Salads, Khmer Baguette sandwiches, Rice flour Doughnuts, BBQ Chicken and Seafood, Fish and Chicken balls and tasty Vegan and Vegetarian options<\/p>\n

Our fruit and vegetables and our meat and fish are sourced locally whenever possible and our chicken and eggs are free range. We grow many of our own herbs ourselves as these extraordinary Khmer flavors would not otherwise be available.<\/p>\n

There will be some staple items like Dumplings and Noodle Soups and then new things that will change each week. \u00a0\u2013 All our food is prepared freshly which means sometimes it may take a little longer to reach you.\u00a0 We hope you enjoy your meal.”<\/p>\n
