    Thanks for watching! Taphul Road has an amazing array of eateries and that’s why we come here on average about six nights a week. The choices in this single street are staggering. There are also three of Siem Reap’s biggest hitters in terms of local food:
    - Try Me Restaurant: goo.gl/maps/GMDMCGJzUgrkehKE8
    - Madam Moch Khmer Restaurant: goo.gl/maps/oYG1poLRgvhCCm7g6
    - My Little Cafe: goo.gl/maps/JgDpH7EQ6nbZt7pE7
    All of these serve a great mix of Khmer and western food. Prices start at around $1.50 for vegetarian fried rice or vegetarian fresh spring rolls. Most dishes are around $3. You can also get juices, smoothies, 75 cent draft beers, cocktails - really anything that is available on Pub Street is available here, usually it’s better quality and for a lower price. Don’t miss out on this amazing food street when you visit Siem Reap.

    Great video Claire, really interesting. Didn’t know any of those places as I have always eaten closer to the river…breakfast and lunch in the Old Market in my friend Ratha’s cafe with her mum and Dad and the 4 girls…only 3 last September.
    My choice…I’d eat at the East tan bul restaurant , love that food , always a treat.
    I eat salmon raw so I was always wary of the salmon in SR, but in PP my local friend took my to 2 restaurants that had very well priced oysters which we had a number of times., not sure where they were from. My trip to Cambodia in June is getting closer.

    An interesting street I didn't know so far. Thank you for showing us around. All over Asia I always have the same problem: finding a good coffee. I mean, the small, aromatic and powerful shots like in Italy or Portugal, not those big buckets of brown water or other fancy creations. I think, I will need to bring my own espressomachine if I move to Cambodia.

    I am glad u showed how expensive Cambodia is ….. a regular guest house room is 48 usd … plus a coffe is 6 usd …….. ---I went to Siem reap 6 years ago and was shocked at the short term prices. I stayed 2 months with my partner. Of course I paid to go see the temples. That was 100 usd per person per day plus hiring a ride and a tour guide. Again I was shocked at the prices……… I will say only 1 more thing …. I was 44 when I visited Siem reap,, one of the greatest adventures I have ever done…… not cheap they use USD.

    • @ForRiel
