If you are anything like me, then you are completely unaware of what makes up Cambodian food. After four days in Cambodia, we've found a lot of BBQ (meat is a huge component of the diet), lots of noodles, and lots of fried rice. We've been eating only at the Cambodian food stalls here because they are super cheap. The flavors are not like Thai or Vietnamese food, but more similar to some basic Chinese dishes. And there are always two or three types of hot sauce or peppers on the table, which we use liberally. As vegetarians, it has been surprisingly easy to order rice or noodle dishes with only vegetables. Of course we are aware of the use of meat based broths in soups, or cooking with fish sauce, and we are ok with that. There is no way for us to be completely vegetarian!
Below Jeff is eating some fried yellow noodles. That plate of food cost $1 and was nicely joined by a can of Angkor beer (not to be confused with the Anchor beer, which is another worse brand of beer here). A can of beer runs for about $1, so we can have dinner and beer for $4!
