2025 Cambodia And Vietnam: Food Tour III

 After the night market, we headed out again in our Tuk-Tuk.


Num Pang, the Cambodian equivalent of Banh Mi.  Delicious.


A variety of meat related dishes:






For dessert, we drove to what was essentially an older couple at the side of a rather busy road.  The old man was scraping out coconut meat from husks.  His wife would stuff them in a roll and pour sweetened coconut milk over them.  This may have been the best thing I had while I was there.


After our meal (we were quite full), one more after dinner drink.

    1. Nylon12, I do not think we had a bad meal in either Cambodia or Vietnam. It was all quite delicious.

  2. How is the smell there? I ask because in my travels to the Philippines 20 years ago, the smell of automobile exhaust was quite overwhelming where ever I went. However, the the last few trips those smells have been decreasing dramatically as the tricycles (their version of the tuk tuk) have decreased in number and are being replaced with more modern vehicles. The big drawback however, is that congestion has increased dramatically and it now takes me two or three times longer to go anywhere.

    I'm unfortunately a foodie and can eat myself across any country with snacks at roadside vendors between sit down meals. I so enjoy the roadside concoctions that they can come up with using their local ingredients.

    1. Ed, I would say the smell was not anything worse than I would typically anticipate in a crowded city in terms of automobile exhaust. Given the proliferation of Tuk-Tuks and automobiles it was present, but not oppressive. Honestly, I think Hanoi was worse.

      Road trip snacks in foreign countries are a treat. With the tours we are on they make periodic stops and we always try to grab something new and unusual.
