I went to Abacus just because I heard it served crocodile, but it actually has some awesome food. The menu is French with exotic touches, with lots of tasty sounding items. I believe both the bartender and chef are French as well, or at least that's what they were speaking to each other. There's a bar and several tables with cozy wicker chairs laid out in the open air restaurant, cooled with several fans.

My curry crocodile was absolutely delicious. The crocodile came in two separate parts: a tender, scrumptious white meat crocodile tail, and several dark meat croc chunks. This actually enlightened me to why all the gator I've had tasted so differently -- the gator I had in the Amazon was better because it was a tail filet, while gator in the US usually comes in dark meat nugget form.

The curry sauce was actually served on the side -- a light, creamy, definitely not authentically Indian/Asian, but still delicious. The dish came with two sides of your choice -- I had the pumpkin mashed potatoes and the ratatouille. The potatoes were especially excellent.

For a tip for good meat i can suggest sheep and whale, even as people might think its politically incorrect (its not,but this is not the place for a discussion about whaling)

The tail part is like chicken, but better -- white meat, tender, meaty. The dark meat is kinda gamey. Still good, but not my fav.

We made plans to go to Abacus for dinner which is supposed to be good and is owned by the same guy who owns Villa Loti. Unfortunately as we climbed in the tuk-tuk with Mr. Vanny our driver we found out Abacus is closed Sundays but "no problem" Mr. Vanny… It's a Holiday in Cambodia!
