food stalls next to The Touch

at USD$1 0r 4000r per plate, you get to have one of the most wonderful meals in siem reap, the closest you can get to what cambodians eat without getting a stomachache with your delicate stomaches. hygiene queries aside, these stalls are almost always full of tourists out for a quick and cheap meal. lok lak, mama instant noodles, flat noodles, yellow noodles, they all taste so much better for some reason. i ordered a mama instant noodle with vege on my last night in siem reap, topped with a glass of angkor beer, which pretty much tasted like tiger beer. how i was surprised by the incredible amount of vegetables that was cooked with the instant noodles. sheer delight that you can't get from USD$4 per plate restaurants. highly recommended if you put extreme hygiene aside.
