Fried rice spam, and fried chicken with meat on it's bones, is worse than Cambodian street food?

I don’t like when they bash the chicken so the meal is packed with little bones.

They often bash the hell out of stir-fried frog too making it almost impossible to eat.
The small ones. The bigger ones, you eat like chicken legs. Apart from that, I don't like the taste and the bony small ones.
Bad thing in Cambodia: The continuous noise pollution from devices like axel grinders, drill hammers and the like. Everywhere.
That's because Thailand has a resilient indigenous cuisine. The Philippines were a walkover, ripe for gastronomic infantilisation.Guest9999 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 2:03 am
It is hard to image fake food fully taking over Thai stalls - and I'd cry if it did, but it would be just as sad if the mere pretty fair food normally found here moved ever closer to what passes for cheap restaurant food in the Philippines.
When they opened the first KFC in Hanoi, interviewed customers commented 'Well, it doesn't taste very pleasant, does it ?'.
But they are playing the long game, tempting children into their gingerbread house franchises with cartoon characters and social media.
Give me the boy until he is seven and I will show you the man.
Consumer grooming. When they grow up they will graduate to Hard Rock and Khéma. Coke with their steaks and ketchup on the fries. And they will sneak out occasionally to a burger chain for the comfort food of their childhood.
With street food I think it is unfair to compare Bangkok and HCM with Phnom Penh. Both are much larger cities, with a greater variety of vendors and supplies. But damn it, to be fair, I recently ate most of my "street food" at Aeon Mall with the added comfort of knowing that flies and rats are probably kept away, but still with them. all. the usual local dishes offered.
Regarding garbage, some streets are littered with it, but I go through TTP almost every day, and I don't see any garbage other than the bags that are picked up. Of course, you can find undeveloped areas that don't have a contract. it's like East LA, just philthy and full of decades old trash. Who will collect it and who will pay?

The availability of crystal meth is the worst thing about Cambodia. Imagine how many people wouldn’t have ruined their lives or some proportion of it if this deadly drug wasn’t available.

I have eaten horrible street food in Bangkok, but mostly acceptable for consumption, especially considering the price paid. It's not much different from here in my opinion.
Norway is pristine, full of liberated and highly educated genuine blondes, and very expensive. Enjoy.
Read the topic title again bub. It's not what Cambodia has that other countries have TOO. Jesus.
and you don't see other places with restaurant fls oors covered with tissue and other trash. It may be a recommendation it's good place, lots of trash means lots of customers, but only in Cambodia as far as I've seen and it STILL LOOKS LIKE SHIT. Then there's the dirt road alleys paved in hardened mud with the trash of the last year firmly embedded in it. Place looks like an eternal garbage worker's strike.
What does the size of the city have to do with anything? The street food in much smaller cities like Udon, Ubon, Chiangmai Mai in Thailand for example is infinitely better than Phnom Penh.busybee wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 1:40 pmWith street food I think it is unfair to compare Bangkok and HCM with Phnom Penh.

Same same in similar sized cities and towns in Vietnam, Malaysia etc.
We'll have to go into details. I think the cities mentioned have a lot of visitors, like a place like Seam Reap which also has plenty of good street food. Phnom Penh is more like an ordinary city like Chanthaburi or similar remote and less hip places. More commercial and business style, with many chic restaurants that compete internationally, but less flashy on the street scene overall.

What the fuck are you talking about? A city’s street food scene is aimed primarily at its inhabitants, not well-heeled visitors.
I doubt very few mom and pop pad Thai vendors down Soi Nowhere in Isaac go into the business thinking they’re going into it targetting farang.
I'm not the one to mention various tourist hot spots in my arguments. But my daily experience of spending a lot of time in various locations leads me to conclude that we are in the same highly subjective territory as beer brands and bra sizes. So what the fuck yourself.
