To market!


A stroll through the local market at Kompong Thom is a must. It is so interesting to see all of the local specialties (though I'm not sure I want to try them all!).


This woman had dried fish on offer, which are used to flavor almost every Cambodian dish. 


Certainly the display techniques take some getting used to! At least you know everything is fresh. Photos taken in December 2016.

  7. Reminds me a bit of some we saw in the Caribbean -- only the one you show here looks cleaner. If I were there i would probably wish I had a way to cook at least some of the stuff on sale.

  8. Westerners have become accustomed to food that's very removed from its origins (some kids don't even know where eggs come from). Chicken have feet?? These photos really show us a lot.
