Siem Reap: I Loaf It!

I loved how there was so much good bread in Siem Reap! I fell in love with the pork baguette sandwiches. I saw and ate two types - one is stuffed with meat sliced from a block of something like hammy SPAM or SPAMMY ham and another is made from cubed roasted meat. It's piled into the bread with a thick baton of cucumber, a sprig of spring onion, onions, lettuce, drizzled with some sort of lardy gravy and a mound of green papaya & carrot relish is put last on top. They are so addictive!


At least the bloody colonials left behind something good.



A sandwich peddler outside the Jayavarman VII Children's Hospital. He's putting the baguettes into the tin drawer which is an ingenious oven!


It's gonna get messy.



Another Au Bon Pain outside the hospital. She sells the chopped roasted meat variety.



This was the best sandwich and the most expensive one too. It was from a stall in the Central Market. She had kickass chilli paste and excellent relish.

When I was a little kid, there were many Gerobak at my primary school selling almost the stuff,except that they were not tasty!
They used cheap chili sauce that was transparent orange and tasted like spicy water.Gross!It was the only gerobak where i was not a regular customer with a checking account.
