This is our first day in Cambodia after one and half hour flight from Kuala Lumpur to Siem Reap. The air ticket is quite cheap, it cost around USD30 for each of us. I wonder how this airline can make profit with such a low ticket price, but its good bargain fo us to experience new cultures.
As soon as we arrived at the airport, we were picked up by a guy with his Lexus SUV, a car that is so common on the street of Cambodia despite its poverty stricken community. Luxury cars is so common in this country that even a Roll Royce is planning to open it first showroom in the capital of Phnom Penh. From that luxury car, we were sent to a budget hostel that cost us around USD1 a day.
On the evening we strolled along the street of Siem Reap city centre and very surprised to see lots of exotic snacks made from insects. No one of use dare to try this national Cambodian delicacy as it looks horrific and unappealing to us.
If you are wonder how the creatures look like in a ready-to-eat snack, here are some photos for you to enjoy.
Snack worms.. Hmmm the seller told us it tastes like baked cheese with union, so tasty
This is roasted cricket, it tastes just like roasted prawn with salt, according to the seller
I dont know what it is for sure, but its look like green cockroaches, must be taste like chicken, if we ask to the seller
