Hooray! More American fast food coming to Cambodia!

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.

@Bitte_Kein_Lexus I cannot speak for all the guys on this forum but I certainly did not move abroad for the food. I am guessing most guys did not move to Cambodia for its famous Khmer cuisine and there is nothing sad at all by liking a nice burger.

The BK's here are run from Vietnam (of course) by Vietnamese firm Imex Pan-Pacific Group Inc (IPP) who runs the Cambodian Burger King venture with local company HSC, which is owned by businessman Sok Hong.
In Thailand it is a different company called Minor International, who takes care of the franchise.

This probably means that the entire production line infrastructure is different too. Although the main feel and taste of the Whopper here is decent, I still think that it's a tad better in Thailand, who also have the double whopper cheese with bacon on the menu (personal fave) and the option of mayo with your fries, (for us continentals).

I am aware of the bad things those products are full of, but who gives a damn, just don't eat it every day, keep a lo level of stress and all that.
