Relocation Expenses etc...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Once you've bought a fridge there's not much more to say. And a lot of places are rented with a fridge and gas cooker. Could be why people prefer to go off topic and talk about cheese. :mrgreen:
If you're looking for second-hand goods, try the classifieds or PP facebook page.Or post in the want to buy section here.
There was also talk here of auction sales in PP, which should come up with a search.

Defunct its just getting interesting :D Just to fill you in so to speak. There has been a government conspiracy to overcharge JSP on cheese and pineapples. Agents follow him into Lucky supermarket (for example) distract him then change selected prices, particularly on cheese, so that now he actually believes its $100 a kilo. The government have been able to put a lot of resources into this because of a generous 24 million dollar hand out from the Australian government. ;)

My last purchase of cheddar cheese at Thai Huat was $13/kilo JL you got a good deal :D

for info only
cheese is less in Cambodia than Thailand;
250 grms 24 month Vintage cheddar 250 grm 170 baht ( $4.85 ) or so Almost $20/kilo!!
but its worth it if you love cheese, some days my lunch is 3 or so different cheeses, some salami an fresh french bread
One cheese i love here is Gouda with Cumin but its $19.75 /kilo

Except when i lived in Zaire back in the 70's, i have never been without a fridge. :beer3:

After some Googling, Bega brand cheese from Oz is sold by an expat food delivery company in Thailand. Price is 450 baht/$13/kilo. You got a deal on that cheese, Jamie.

That's insane. I have never really bought cheese there because the prices seem ridiculous, Thai Huot is much cheaper but then I rarely ever get there.
i just bought half a kilo of Cheddar for $5....
Cheese Cheddar Bega Mild Cheddar
Weight: 0.485 Kg
Price: $5.24
Now you really are taking the piss. What is this K440? lol

Actually, if your quick Samudera is selling $10 notes for $5 each.

Shame you shop at Orange as it's only for regular customers.

MMM that looks delicious lol.
Actually I was buying those Bega smoked cheese slices in Vietnam. It was quite tasty. Best out here for the price.
Lucky also had a promo on them a few months ago. You got two packs of 10 slices each for around 3$. Trouble is, they haven't really worked out that promos are about getting your customers to taste new things. When the promo finished there were no more smoked cheese slices in the shop. ha!
That is a good price even if it is the usual factory made mild cheddar. Especially when you look at those other prices; 1.30 Kg of spuds . The spuds are 2000R for locals in the markets here and also 2000R in the supermarkets in HCMC. (2 weeks ago).

So SNV 11 bucks a kg. PP 100 bucks a KG. It's the transport costs you know. + 1 for SNV -10 for the Pig Penh. Say CHEESE.

That cat has got me paranoid. Time to start filming. Be prepared...

Don't just lick it , chew it! bloody cats. :facepalm:

I am rather surprised that you eat artificial mild cheddar though, after all your fine wine-ing and dine-ing and luxury apartment posts. Must be American?
