Re: Where to buy plates and bowls for a decent price?
So did we get a confirmed address on this place?

Yes, corner Monivong and Kampuchea Krom.
It's two storey so don't forget to take a look upstairs while you're there. Some of their stuff is cheap and other stuff is weirdly overpriced.

No, apparently nobody but me likes concise addresses or google maps.
I had a quick look today. It's traffic chaos round there.
I certainly hope that it's not this place:

I'm sure that google view is old. I was cruising past less than two hours ago and here's a DownTo Earth Tuk-Tuk view.

Re: Where to buy plates and bowls for a decent price?
Just an update to Duncan's excellent suggestion of where to go in this thread.
I finally got my lazy ass up to the shop today. I bought 2x 12 inch plates, 2 large noodle / breakfast bowls, 2 mugs, 2 small stainless steel dishes and 2 of those Thai yellow handled knives.
The plates etc are chunky eathenware with colour glazes and geometric designs.
Total cost $3.40.
One price extreme to the other. It's far too cheap to be decent, just as the supermarkets are far too expensive to be decent. What ever happened to the Buddhist middle way? Each item was a dollar or less and then they give you a discount at the counter. The mugs were very decent at 700R a pop. Lol.
Most of the stuff's from China.

The shop is called JJ Mega Corp, or Ahhoo Mega Store. They used to be on Monivong down towards Mao Tsetong but this is a better location (at least for me).
Like Alonzo says... the stuff is mostly cheap and then they discount many of them by a further 30-70% at the checkout.

Re: Where to buy plates and bowls for a decent price?
A lot of partially broken items. Very limited assortment. Prices were not necessarily better. I ended up with two small bowls just to purchase something.
I found ware on sale at Samudera, a usually rather expensive place, much better. About the same price. This might help the SHV crowd.
