Skuon Spider market in Cambodia

By
Eating spiders might be something that normal folks wouldn't like to try but here in Cambodia, it could be considered normal. From what I have heard, these spiders are a treat to local Khmer's and many that have tried them say that their not bad.  By looking at this video, you would think that this would be something out of the show Fear Factor but I have tried many custom foods while being here and I can say that they were all pleasant. So maybe if you plan to visit Cambodia soon, you can put spiders on your need to try list.

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

By
                        (Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen.   Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...
