Noodles and simple fried foods are a big thing for breakfast in Cambodia. At least that’s what it seemed like at the market. With a guide that practically wouldn’t look at anything with meat or fish in it, it was kind of hard to keep track of everything I was taking photographs of! But suffice it to say, it all looked incredibly honest and delicious. There is something about a market food vendor and her (mostly her) way of life. Such an incredibly hard life, and yet the joy they bring to so many customers on a daily basis…
Where are the bugs? I was in Vietnam and Cambodia about 10 years ago now, and I remember they had baskets and baskets of various deep fried bugs — well, they were probably crickets, grasshoppers and beetles. They were in these wide bilao’s (flat baskets trays?) and the were sold in “takal” — measured with tin cans. Never tried them though. I would have if someone else did, but no one in our group was brave enough, so I chickened out too. You didn’t see any of these???
