Re: Where in Phnom Penh is your favourite place for pizza and why?

Unfortunately they offer neither proper Rye or Sour Dough (You will have to go Whole Grain or Honey Oat) but Molly Das does excellent Pastrami and/or Corned Beef Sandwiches. They are my go to choice when I crave a Reuben Sandwich. The Khmer owner is ex-Subway overseas so they follow the "Sub&q...

Re: Battambang to Bangkok for Medical Treatment
