Does Phnomenon mention other Cambodian food blogs?

Updated

Yes. Phnomenon published a short post titled “Cambodia has a new food blog,” noting that Nyam Penh was blogging food from Phnom Penh. The mention is brief and functions mainly as a pointer: it confirms that another Cambodia-focused food blog existed and that Phnomenon was aware of it.

What Phnomenon says about Nyam Penh

The post is dated 31 January 2011 and appears under the category Uncategorized. Its full substance, as reflected in the page evidence, is:

  • Someone else had “picked up the gauntlet.”
  • Nyam Penh is blogging food from Phnom Penh.
  • The post carries a single comment.

Phnomenon does not review Nyam Penh, compare it to its own coverage, or describe its editorial style. The value of the mention is as a discovery lead, not as a recommendation with detailed reasoning.

Why this mention matters if you are looking for Cambodian food sources

Phnomenon’s own scope is Khmer food, restaurant reviews, and recipes served from Phnom Penh. A post flagging another Phnom Penh food blog tells you:

  • The Cambodian food-blogging scene around 2011 included more than one active voice.
  • Phnomenon treated new Cambodia food blogs as worth noting, even with minimal commentary.
  • Nyam Penh is a name you can search for if you want another Phnom Penh food perspective from that period.

What the mention does not tell you

The page evidence does not include:

  • A link URL for Nyam Penh.
  • Any statement that Phnomenon endorses or recommends Nyam Penh.
  • Details about Nyam Penh’s recipes, restaurant coverage, or update frequency.
  • Whether Nyam Penh is still active.

So the safe reading is: Phnomenon acknowledged another Cambodian food blog, specifically Nyam Penh in Phnom Penh, without evaluating it.

How to use this if you want more Cambodia food resources

  1. Search for “Nyam Penh” and “Phnom Penh food blog” to see whether archives or later posts survive.
  2. Treat Phnomenon’s “Cambodia has a new food blog” post as a dated snapshot of the scene in early 2011.
  3. If you are compiling a list of Cambodia food sources, pair this mention with Phnomenon’s other posts, such as its coverage of Cambodia’s second microbrew and Alley Cat, to understand the range of food-and-drink topics it followed.

In short, Phnomenon does mention another Cambodian food blog: Nyam Penh, blogging from Phnom Penh. The mention is a brief 2011 note, useful as a lead but not as a detailed review.
