Within the city of Siem Reap and outside of virtually every temple are little eateries that serve up surprisingly good cuisine. Whether you enjoy eating Asian foods or prefer to stick to a good ole cheese sandwich, you can pretty much find what you want. The menu seems to be ubiquitous at the eateries and at the guesthouses - but no matter, it just gives you the opportunity to try out
many dishes. Prices typically range from
$1 - $6, so if necessary you can really
tighten that budget and still eat fairly well.
A plus - Cambodia has fantastic bread (thanks
to the French), so even if you stick to
sandwiches you're bound to make out well.
Don't let the appearance of these places intimidate you. It is an opportunity to eat
some real food and interact with real Cambodians. While there may be no FDA, most
of these places are fine - do what you would
normally do: if it sounds suspicious, don't order it. Besides, if you can eat a hotdog from a cart in NY (or any city) you most
certainly can handle this.
