We hadn\u2019t seen any compelling ice cream since <a href=\"http:\/\/kennyw.com\/food\/icecream\/542\">Romy\u2019s<\/a> in Nha Trang, but there was a good-looking option in the article called Chill. It also happens to be located a few blocks down the street from our hotel.<\/p>\n<p>We first stopped by Chill on the way to dinner yesterday. Originally we were just going to take a look, but looking led to a tasting of chocolate, green tea, vanilla, and passion fruit. Tasting led to a pre-dinner treat of chocolate and coconut. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asialifeguide.com\/Food-Corner\/Cometh-the-Ice-Cream.html\">article<\/a> had in particular raved about Chill\u2019s chocolate, and with good reason. It had a good, creamy texture and was in the dark chocolate camp, which I love. It also did not taste like cocoa powder as can often be the case. Certainly the best chocolate I\u2019ve had in southeast Asia. The coconut was a nice complement, but it could have been creamier and was inferior to Romy\u2019s coconut.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Chill&#39;s ice cream display\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/4386646037\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chill&#39;s ice cream display\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2687\/4386646037_9fb198069f.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tonight we were back for possibly our last ice cream in Southeast Asia (I\u2019m not holding my breath for border town ice cream). After yesterday\u2019s tastes we had already decided that we would have green tea and vanilla tonight. But since we were encouraged to try other flavors, we also tried mint chocolate chip, and cappuccino. The article had called the mint chocolate chip a \u201cstandout\u201d, but I thought it was one of Chill\u2019s weaker flavors, as was the cappuccino (not enough coffee flavor for my taste). We went ahead with our original green tea with vanilla plan, and it was a delicious combination. Overall, a good way to start our three month break from ice cream!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Lauren enjoying vanilla and green tea\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lavoie\/4387410362\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lauren enjoying vanilla and green tea\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2713\/4387410362_d9f7c3d0af.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>     <br \/><em>Green tea + vanilla = happiness<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chill    <br \/>219D Sisowath Quay     <br \/>Phnom Penh, Cambodia     <br \/>+855 092 547 534<\/p>\n<p>Daily: 11AM-midnight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rating: While in Kampot, the owner of Rikitikitavi gave us a copy of AsiaLIFE Cambodia, a local expat magazine.
