The assortment of foods at the street vendors in Phnom Penh is like visiting a freak show.
I couldn’t believe some of the stuff they eat. Rats, cats, dogs, monkeys, baby crocodiles, worms, scorpions, snakes, spiders, half hatched duck eggs, tiger penis soup.....
The odd part of it was that things were served intact with head and eyes still looking at you. It was not just frog legs, it was the entire frog on a skewer like a kabob. Same with whole baby octopus on a skewer!
The worst smelling fruit was the durian. It smells like a septic tank crossed with vomit. It smells so bad that they are forbidden entry into many hotels. They are that bad that I would cross the street to avoid the street vender’s stand. (They were popular in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.)
I took pictures of many of the menu signs in front of the restaurants.
