Living well, cheap
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2015 7:16 pm
I thought a thread on eating well for little could benefit some posters
I hope it's not too offensive for the wannabe schmucksters desperately trying to prove they earn more money than the next guy
There are still places selling pork and rice plus iced coffee for $1, usually in Sen Sok and outer/poorer areas, like the meal, you need to find a place with great food and coffee.
In addition, you can buy smart.
Buy from markets, or send your Khmer friend/partner there alone. A white skin/obvious barang means a higher price
I buy sourdough bread from Superduper, 1 Kg flying saucer for $2.90, and the great thing about sourdough bread is it keeps for ages, no wastage due to mould etc. It's also way tastier and healthier, and makes deadly toast.
One & One on 271 sell 1.8 Kg blocks of standard grade Australian cheese (cheddar or cream cheese) for around $20, I buy one and split it with a friend, no way I can eat that much cheese
Cheapest wines? Angkor Minimart near Russian Market, Supercheap on 310, or contact James Dumar on facebook
Superstore near Limkokwing Uni sell great pies for around $0.75, and they have the lowest price in town for tinned Portugese sardines in olive oil, around $1.85
Hope this helps someone, please feel free to add/correct products/prices/outlets
The ultimate would be a plan of the city with restaurant/markets etc.
