What can't you get hold of in Cambodia that you wish you could???

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.

Only thing I miss so far is being able to order something online and have it delivered to my place without wondering if it will arrive or not.

A good choice of French cheese at a reasonable price.

Man, I think we're brothers from another mother. You just read my mind.

An In-n-Out burger and/or a good breakfast burrito are two particular food items that could just about cause me to climax to completion, mid-nosh.

I did see some nice looking beef jerky at Lucky and bought some. It was just plastic wrapped slabs of dried beef with seasoning on top and the label said 'dried beef' or something like that.

I took it home, opened it and popped a piece in my mouth. My wife was horrified, snatched it out of my mouth, took it to the kitchen, grabbed the rest of the beef and proceeded to fry the lot in oil.

It turned into a crispy, inedible mess.

Maybe the wife was right though. That stuff might have been just laid out in the sun to dry cure with all sorts of nasty flies and such having their way with it.

Who knows.

Stick that bacon and Farmer John sausage burrito between her rack and lick the animal style sauce from that double double off her lips. Yea man. We may not have the same mom, but it seems like papa was a rolling stone.

Wait. Beef jerky? Is it that Jack Links stuff or the local stuff? I had some good homemade Cambodian jerky once. I'm looking for some Alien Jerky or the same quality as Mahogany Smoked Meats in Bishop, CA. If you find any, hook a brother up!

I used to love the local dried fish until I found out how it was made. The flies, the ants, and whatever else touches it did it for me. That dried fish is a health hazard. Your wife was right. Better be safe than sorry!

Amazon. Life used to be so easy when you'd think of something you wanted or needed, fired up Amazon, found whatever it was with ease and a reasonable price and had it in your hands later that day or the next day.

You can find most things you want here, it's just a pain the arse finding it.

Yes this. Probably a third of (non-registered) things I order from Aliexpress/DX and personal mail like birthday/Christmas cards never arrive in my PO box.

Any reasonable cheese. I am lost without my Mainland Vintage. The 2kg blocks of NZ Anchor Cheddar for $28 are insipid.
