Description

The Olympic Market is just one of the multi-story market complexes which, in time, will sweep the more traditional, ramshackle street markets from the face of Phnom Penh. As well as the usual market items, this place seems to specialize in wholesale fabrics, all too vivid glow-in-the-dark Buddha statues and other religious paraphernalia. Those with a sense of adventure in street food might try a traditional Khmer afternoon snack--pancakes filled with minced pork and bean sprouts made on-the-spot by a row of vendors stooped over their charcoal fireplaces on the northern side of the market (sold from 2pm-6pm).
