Check out the food

So, before I came here, I heard literal horror stories about the food. Veterans of my beautiful Campuchea told how everyday, rice would be served with a mysterious sauce covering it. They told how the smells and sites would turn ones stomach to the point of nausea. Well, I'm here to set the record straight...durian, is the ONLY thing that will do that to you. Ok, maybe not the only thing but I'm biased. I've been eating in the best western and most safe -from the "smells and sites" I spoke of previously-Cambodian restaurants or in my gorgeous apartment with a top class, cook(my roomie:), so I guess I'm really not authority on the issue....but one thing I know for sure, if you want to eat well here, you can. Here are the pictures to prove it:]

My first breakfast here...it was supposed to be a vegetable omelet but instead, I got vegetables on the side of my omelet...Let's say something got lost in translation.

The restaurant we ate at is called"One More"(don't have a clue why) but its very popular for breakfast. Cambodian tradition is to go out to breakfast with your family. Take the hint, America!

It's a really neat setup at One More...there are little cabanas lining the walls and the center-which you're seeing- is set up like a normal restaurant.

Fresh bread, served with breakfast.(To all you Pittsburghers- it wasn't quite Mancini's but it WAS good:)

This would be at "Shop Too"(again, I don't know the reasoning behind the name) which is a quaint, organic western restaurant. This has been my favorite place,  thus far.

This is a chicken and guacamole panini...it was absolutely delicious.

Bubble tea!!!

Rice....served with just about every meal.

Cafe Frappe from my second favorite restaurant, the S Cafe.(good news, its right down the street and they deliver to my apartment!!)

Shrimp fried rice from the S Cafe.

Self explanatory and a chorus in my heart...American food!!:]

"Waikiki burger"(it had a slice of pineapple on it) It tasted as good as it looks...I did,however, miss Heinz ketchup.

I ordered apple juice, and thats exactly what I got, a juiced apple.

My first Cambodian pizza! I had mine with pineapple and ham...and chili sauce. Residents put chili sauce on just about everything. All in all, it was pretty good. Even better, Tuesdays and Fridays is buy one get one free at Pizza World!


So doesn't it look good? Told you.
Tonight me and my roomie are making shrimp fried rice...I'll let you know how it goes...or maybe I'll show you:]
