What When and Where to eat in Cambodia

Hello to all

We found the forums very helpful in the past and so we are beseaching on your knowledge again to help us here in Cambodia.

FOOD - bearing in mind we%26#39;re not too adventurous and my other half will eat only fluffy white fillet fish and chicken breast, not wings, head or feet etc... so more or less class her as a fussy vegetarian.... we%26#39;re at a loss as what to be eating from the stalls and we%26#39;re blowing our budget on pasta and baguettes in restaurants and coffee shops.

We recognise the need to be more street smart but we%26#39;re very anxious... but yet we see Farang do it all the time.................

ANY ONE GOT SOME FOOL PROOF SUGGESTIONS on how we can approach this one...

Laos is our next stop and I see from the Rough Guide that it is going to be even MORE difficult food wise..........................

What When and Where to eat in Cambodia

If you%26#39;re not daring, forget the food stalls. There are dozens of restaurants catering to western likes all over the place. You can get baguettes for 20 cents at a baguette stand, they cost 60 cents %26amp; up in a proper shop. You%26#39;re right about Laos, but if you%26#39;ll be on the main tourist route (i.e. Vientiane, Luang Prabang etc) you will have no problem finding food to suit your taste.

What When and Where to eat in Cambodia

Hi Monkeyboy,

As the poster above says there are plenty of restaurants to eat at.

We picked up a neat little eating in SR guide book - it%26#39;s about 4';x3'; (pocket guide size) where you can get plenty of info.

We had a Cambodian BBQ one night (it%26#39;s in Pub alley -runs next to Pub street)- like the korean bbq%26#39;s we have here in Oz - hotplate and plates of raw meat you cook yourself - that way your partner can see what she%26#39;s eating. we had beef, chicken, fish and squid - decided against the snake and crocodile! Lots of veg to cook too -

I reckon it would take you a month to eat your way around SR so you will really have plenty to choose from

happy travels

Being in SR we have been eating in Angkor Palm restaurant most of the time (recommended by the Lonely Planet)- nice and clean - first thing to be served were cold spotless white towels to whipe all that SR dust, and then the inexpensive menu $3 - $7, lots of vegetables (organic), generous portions, everything very tasty. Highly recommend this one - situated on the main street next to The Blue Pumpkin.

Ashamed to admit this, but the best burger I%26#39;ve ever eaten was in Siem Reap, Burgers without Borders. I think less than $4 for the classic which was just scrummy. Start adding fries and a soy smoothie, both totally delicious and it makes the bill closer to $16 for 2. It did mean we hardly ate for dinner though, it was so filling! They do a chicken panini too I think..

Also enjoyed the Butterfly Garden or something by that name, across the river from the main centre. Nice range of food, very tranquil surroundings.

There are loads of places to eat, you will be fine I%26#39;m sure.
