Siam Reap

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Am sitting in a tiny internet cafe in Siam Reap city. The heat is smoldering and unrelenting; I already have a tan. Ready to hit the temples in an hour, once I’m done being hip tourist at Le Grande Cafe next door with a low fat latte and a muffin.

I ate at a local street stall last night. My driver was worried, he kept telling me that the street food might cause “problems” for non-locals but I insisted. If it is good enough for him, it is good enough for me. Much to my chagrin, I managed to convince my mom to try some. She loved it. The stall owners were very excited, they kept asking us if their food was good. It was delicious. We got charged tourist prices of course, but dinner with 6 different dishes only cost us US$6.

Interesting trivia: Siam Reap literally means Thai defeat.
