Best Quality Pepper/Spices
Hello CEO community,
Going back home for a month, and a couple of people have asked me to bring back some Kampot pepper and "other interesting spices". Anybody have a good recommendation on a place in Phnom Penh that sells great quality pepper...and other things?
Thanks!

Go to Central Market.
Opposite the eating area, towards the centre of the building, there is a lady selling all the Kampot peppers, Black Red and White. Plus lots of other stuff too.
From memory they were about $4 a kilo for black and $7 a kilo for red or white. I might be wrong about that though...
hope this helps

That's the price I'd expect for Memot pepper, not Kampot.Doc67 wrote:Go to Central Market.

Off the top of my head, I would price Kampot pepper bought at the market at around $15-23kg depending on the colour and size of the peppercorns.epidemiks wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 2:33 pmThat's the price I'd expect for Memot pepper, not Kampot.Doc67 wrote:Go to Central Market.

Cue for someone to tell me that is too expensive.
FWIW, they say that the substandard pepper sold as cheap Kampot pepper is imported from Vietnam.

There is a shop on 172, near street 13, that sells all the colours in fancy packaging and it is about 10 times the price of the market. They also had on offer a normal size pepper mill for $85. Yes... $85 for a $5 item. That told me all I wanted to know about them.
None of their peppercorns had passports either, so who really knows where this stuff comes from.
