Took a walk at the Kandal Market, a traditional wet market and too some interesting photos

 

 

 

Floor is really wet and dirty

 

 

 

Many of these frog carcasses still moving, scary

 

Many beef sellers are Muslims

After the Kandal Market walk proceeded to the Riverside for a nice morning walk

 

 

Honestly, after this walk I really feel like staying in Phnom Penh, its really nice and relaxing here and look at the whole place its so clean and proper

Was stopped on the road for the Sri Lanka President motorcade to pass yesterday near the airport

I thought I was in Thailand when I stopped by a PTT gas station for lunch. PTT (of Thailand) seems to have transferred its full DNA from their Thailand design stations to Cambodia from the pump to the store Jiffy to the coffeeshop Amazon to the toilet design. Impressive

 

 

 

 

Had lunch there, fried rice

 

Korko to Cambodians is like tomyam to Thais as in its popularity. I kindda enjoy this dish full of vegetables

Wednesday dinner at Olala

 

 

 

 

 

Steak is a little tough

I think Cambodian cuisine doesn't work for me last night went to one with potential customer don't enjoy the food at all, Thai food is still better.

 

So ended up went to look for pizza when I came back. Larry's

 

 

Buffalo wings not bad, I requested sauce aside

 

Wine and pizza with my colleague

 

 

 

I thought I read some where Larry's serve great pizza guess last night's pizza wasn't what I read. The crust is hard and crumbles easily and I felt like its biscuits. Also the Italian Sausage I ready so much about tis place is nothing better than minced pork very plain and tasteless. But have to say the staff are nice. Not likely to go again for the food.

Some of you guys may know David's noodles, it is rated pretty high in Tripadvisor

 

 

 

 

 

Dumplings

 

Dry noodles

 

Soup noodles

 

I'll simply say its just so so very average because the dumpling skin is so think and the noodles are pretty hard.

Harmony Phnom Penh Hotel has very nice rooms and breakfast is pretty decent. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Phnom Penh

This will be my last post for this trip.

 

Had a late lunch at the airport sad to say upon leaving that I kind of found something I enjoyed eating at Park Cafe of the Phnom Penh International Airport.

 

Love this coffee its so creamy just the coffee itself and fragrant

 

 

 

And this Cambodian noodle is so delicious especially the soup

 

So soft

 

Love this meal
