Harry's Bar on Riverside specials

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.

Seriously, QR codes in a country where most people don't know how to use a smart phone other than use it to search on Facebook.
Spoiler:
Include me in that lot
have you been under a rock the past decade?

almost every shop, cafe, bus etc has a battery of QR codes in front of the till; I daresay up to 50% of transactions in this country are done by qr code
City boy?

I daresay half of the people in Cambodia don't even have a bank account.
30% according to official figures https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501052053/ ... -services/



Of the 70% who do a huge number are using QR and apps above cards and books, including my 70yo Mom in Law in bumfuck nowhere Kampong Cham

I guess that in Rattankiri with under 2% of the total nationwide population it may not seem that way but those are the facts

First, 'bumfuck nowhere Kampong Cham' is the fourth city in Cambodia if I recall well. Not that 'bumfuck' remote.

Second, if 2% of the Cambodian population lives in Ratanakiri another 73% lives outside the urban areas elsewhere in the country.

QR code use is on the rise for sure, but I doubt your 50% claim. I use it a lot, but I use cash a lot more. Also when in Phnom Penh or 'bumfuck nowhere Kampong Cham'.

Bumfuck nowhere kampong cham is VERY rural kampong cham - the town is a separate matter from the rather large province

Anyhow, a QR is very common everywhere rural or urban and will proliferate even more with time - even TV commercials just put a QR commonly instead of other info

doubt away lol

May taste good but that looks extremely sad. Is that hollandaise on top? Looks more like Bird's. And lettuce?

Last I knew Harries was on the riverside Phnom Penh so can't imagine add directed at most of Cambodia.

I do not know what it is but it's not like any Eggs Benedict I've ever seen.
