Khmer Cuisine

Since I've arrived in Siem Reap I've had a chance to sample some different food.

A couple of days ago a group of us went with a tuk tuk driver to try snake soup. The snake was cut up, still with the skin on and served in a broth with onions, herbs and spices. To eat snake you have to pull out the spine, and after you're left with very little meat. It had a texture and taste similar to chicken. But it was a lot of of work for very little food.


Snake soup, and yes I did eat it - there's proof.
The next night we had Cambodian BBQ, it was similar to Korean BBQ where you cook the meat yourself. We chose from chicken, beef, kangaroo, ostrich or crocodile. Crocodile was my surprise favourite.

Also in Cambodia you can get happy pizza. Guess what makes it happy ;) And no I haven't eaten any dog.

Tomorrow I'll be heading to Sihanoukville, Cambodia for some snorkeling and relaxation.
