Expat tipoff?

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

You would believe if you had done a search on one of those real estate sites. This search is one for restaurants for rent in Phnom Penh, and there are a lot in (and over) that price-range:

Why you come to a Asian country and like to eat western food? Stay at home!
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life. :facepalm:

I was waiting for that comment. I have been in SE Asia for 24 years and love the cuisine but fuck, I cannot eat a steak, pizza, or burger once in a while. Maybe you should stay at home?

Oh you were most certainly being ripped off, paying $1000 a week for something you already "owned!"
Looks like he just got "owned" again
