The foooooooood.

salad rolls. Not super impressive, but I was excited. PP.

mom found her bacon and eggs.

a local street stand outside the Russian market. I often eat before I photo because stoopid.

My dad said "looks like they're selling nuts in something across the street" so I ran out to discover a wooden cart full of warm river clams. They were delicious, if risky. You open them with your teeth which is very hard.

This is at the Foreign Correspondent's Club in PP.

spring rolls, bruschetta, crab cakes at the FCC

Chris' first fish amok, the national dish. Delicious. At the FCC.

I cannot remember what this cocktail was, but it was very good. FCC.

Breakfast soup in Battambang, I love there breakfast soup. Like slightly sweet Pho.

another breakfast soup. Easy to find, go into any market before 9am, sit next to an elderly local and point at what they're eating, et voila, for about two dollars.

a wonderful fish soup in Battambang

Ginger chicken. They use so much ginger (that's all the matchsticks) and it's wonderful.

this was a place recommended by another tourist called About the World, an NGO restaurant / charity.

I went to the only East Asian country that doesn't use spice. Be wary when asking for hot sauce.

Khmer chips, the chilli straws were very good.

this is what the street clam carts look like, they are all over the place.

a really good lemon tart

The Italian boy wanted pizza. Siem Riep.

Long Island iced teas, they really pack a punch!

I fucking LOVE fresh coconut juice.

a roadside stand. You may be able to tell by now that the soups are the best!

typical food stalls on the street, you peek in all the lids and pick what you like.

entire pepper groups just tossed in fresh, they were delicious!

fancy restaurant, Chris ordered the 4 seasons pizza (we were a little tummy ill and wanted canadian food). Any excuse for wieners, yah!

I had a very good burger.

the street, every street in every town, is full of these stands.

You get what you get and sometimes it's wonderful.

bad photo but this steamed dumpling had a layer of yam topped with a meat patty inside that was awesome.

Chris got ... something else.

I thought I had pictures of Tanya's from Ukraine breakfasts but apparently I don't. She makes the best blinis I have ever had, eggs, bread, chicken fried chicken type stuff?, soup, a huge pot of tea, and so much more, in bounty. For the two of us. I miss Tanya.

The steamy closeness of the seats, the poetic movements of the cooks, the smells...

and gyoza, better than I have had here.

There is more food I ate of course, but I got lazy towards the end with photographing things and also had 2 bouts of gastrointestinal distress and did not eat for 3 days each time and it seems I am missing some pages of this blog altogether. I will have to go through my uploads and find them.
