Sara Duong is a young, elegant, smiling French-Cambodian woman who decided to settle in her native country in 2019. She’s now a business developer in the architecture and engineering firm Archetype, which operates in 18 countries. She was born into a family of restaurateurs, so it’s no surprise she loves good food and has a soft spot for the Thalias group brands.
The objective of this culinary experience was to solicit her expert appraisal of Topaz’s seasonal menu, aptly titled “Savouring Elegance”. To start, Sara selected the red snapper carpaccio with Asian herb vinaigrette, a signature dish that exemplifies the establishment’s expertise and is likely to captivate our guest. She then proceeded to evaluate another fish dish from the special menu, the pan-fried turbot fillet with lemon, butter and caper sauce, which she deemed to be of an equally high standard.
However, Sara was astonished and gratified when she encountered the roast rack of Australian lamb enrobed in a spring vegetable crust and accompanied by a sauce featuring morels mushrooms.
« It is perhaps the most exquisite dish I have had the privilege to experience today. I was gratified by the initial meals, particularly the fish, but it was the overall presentation and quality of this dish that truly impressed me », she said.
Ultimately, our guest will conclude her repast with the hot chocolate fondant and Madagascar vanilla ice cream, a dessert she will consume as a mere indulgence, given that “it was a very copious lunch.”
In addition to the generosity of the menu, Sara revealed that she was impressed by the quality of the produce at the conclusion of her gastronomic experience. Furthermore, the dishes served were of an excellent standard, exhibiting a well-balanced flavour profile and a harmonious combination of ingredients. They were also tastefully presented in an original manner.
In addition, Topaz Norodom is a venue frequently patronised by our guest for business lunches.
The establishment’s distinctive ambience, comprising an abundance of verdant foliage and tastefully appointed interiors, makes it an ideal venue for business lunches. Indeed, according to her, the restaurant is a particularly agreeable establishment.
“It is my belief that it is of the utmost importance to take my customers and potential clients to a place where they can enjoy a meal of the highest quality, while also feeling completely at ease in a tranquil and welcoming environment. Additionally, the prices of the business lunch are notably affordable.”, she said.
While she is similarly partial to Malis and its Cambodian cuisine, Sara professes a particular affinity for Khéma Pasteur, citing its combination of sophistication and intimacy, its tranquil ambience, the opportunity for conversation, the amiable service, and the appealing presentation of the dishes.
Furthermore, she considers that Thalias restaurants are particularly conducive to business meetings and lunches due to the quality of the food, the variety of dishes, the affordable prices, and the consistently pleasant setting.
