...is not eating at the street stalls every night. We've been so wimpy! And we've been missing out. Around 4:30 pm everyday a dozen stalls suddenly appear at the end of Pub Street. Girls with menus run out into the street and try to pull people in while one man stands behind each counter stir frying frantically.
The other night we nodded to one of the girls randomly and squeezed ourselves into her little bunch of plastic tables. We took one look at the menu and felt like the dumbest people in Siem Reap. The food is basically identical to the restaurants 10 feet away, but each dish is only $1. If you feel like going wild, you can push it up to $1.25. Lynsey ordered stir fried rice with vegetables and chicken, and Keith had yellow noodles with vegetables and shrimp. Both were $1 and both were delicious. Lynsey also put a big spoonful of mouth-killing homemade chili sauce on her rice. It was awesome.
Now we're entering our last week in Siem Reap and we plan on eating as many street stall dinners as possible. How are our stomachs you might ask? Excellent. Our Khmer-food-only theory holds.
