Street 172

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

I have read, here on CEO, many disparaging comments about 172. Is it that bad ? Why?
I also notice that some posters quite like the place. I hear you can get a damn good English Brekkie there at Sony Side Up and Blue Dolphin ( Jamie would be able to confirm this) so it can't be all that bad.
When it comes to street 172, what is the general consensus here ?
And yes, thanks Trapper, we know what yours will be.....
no too familiar with the full english brekki scene in PP as i have a few favourite khmer noodle joints round the corner from my regular guesthouse that i stay at,
but i will be starting a thread in a couple of months as i will be on a mission to search for the best breakfasts in Phnom Penh/SHV etc
Good on ya, keeping our traditions alive, will be glad to help. Once brekkies have been done, we can start on fish 'n' chips .

I left England in 1987, and haven't lived there since. Although I heard the company no longer exists, the best pies by far were Bowyers Pies. Chicken and ham, steak and kidney, pork. I really miss them. I don't know if they were still around while you were growing up there.

I usually do it before they make a comment, for example if they're sitting outside alone. :D

Whew, touched a nerve, methinks.

Why so serious?

St 172 is a good place to have a few drinks,have a few mates that live on or near 172 and they wish to move,only because its only to tempting to go out every night and have a few to many.

As for the brekki,I eat at my local Khmer noodle place out at TTP... not into the english brekki thing...

But i have been told lonestar do an excellent breakfast.

I think Blue Dolphin and several others are better value - Rising Sun, for example.

Try Eric Keyser for breakfast - or any meal actually.
