Food in Siem Reap 2

Food trying was indeed an indulgence to me while showering by rain and the beauty of Angkor. We will stop by to enjoy food whenever we feel like or even just for an icy cold drink.

We were walking round and round the old market in one beautiful morning. Carrying out souvenirs shopping. Then there was heavy rain out of the blue, so we went into this restaurant around the perimeter of old market area. We checked out the menu, it served food in very reasonable price. Khmer Noodle soup, with lots of fish was at price of 2 dollar, and what amazed me was the coffee blended, with perfect blend of coffee, milk, sugar and ice, cost only 50 cents. Even in my home country, a hot coffee in any road side shop would cost around the same price after currency conversion. (1 USD =3 Ringgit Malaysia). Ice blended here will nicely cost up to a minimal of 9 ringgit (3 dollar).

The coffee tasted great. So was the noodle. I particularly like their their noodle as its made from rice flour, so much better taste if compared with the yellow noodles that is common in my place. Less oily and the texture was smooth and give certain degree of firmness which is just nice. I slurped in the noodle that was prepared with local spices such as lemon grass, turmeric, ginger and all within 15 minutes.

Khmer Style noodle soup, with fish. From restaurant in Old Market.
The same restaurant in Old Market, they served awesome Coffee Blended.
Sorry for did not remember the name of this shop. It was within the perimeter of old market, near the corner that opposite of Amatak.
