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.

Not many will walk yup to bar and ask for a can of krud or crud .. just passing a comment is all .. if I was opening a brewery or a new drink brand I wouldn't be calling it a name that in other cultures means crap or shit is all ... loads of better names around surly.. sheeeze :facepalm:
Here's a bottle of Irish Mist; a very nasty whiskey

I once gifted a bottle to a German who commented that not only did it taste shit, but that "mist" in German is manure aka pigshit

Anyhow, don't drink the mist

Apparently Krud is that mythical monster/lion/dragon thing you see everywhere especially wats.
People of the world, spice up your life.

The brand name also offers endless possibilities for mistranslation.

It means "damn" but I guess a German native-speaker would know other meanings.
