    The gentleman was explaining to you that the locals there eat simple meals cooked up with locals veggies and produce. They don’t spend much money on food but they are very happy and it makes him strong and healthy. Home cooked meals for them are unprocessed, everything is home grown or buy from neighbors. Enjoy your day!

      He was a great host and I very much enjoyed his conversations about their way of life and how they live. He was a wealth of information and I very much enjoyed his company that weekend.

      They were very healthy and delicious. Some of the best food I've had since arriving here in Cambodia.
      Is Sapa in Vietnam? I seem to remember you mentioning Vietnam a while ago in one of your videos. I'm planning on visiting Vietnam in July or August for a few weeks. I can't wait to explore it.

    Sean, I was surprised to hear that you really liked the omelette with Sa-Om leaves. As the host was explaining those leaves have a very strong smell and aftertaste that can turn some people off. I like it also. But my favorite Cambodian omelette is with minced pork belly.

    • @FrugalWanderer
      @FrugalWanderer  2 місяці тому +5

      This is why I love trying everything blind. That way I don't have any preconceived notions about it. To me it was just greens in an omelette and it was delicious. I may have thought differently if I knew in advance.
      It did have a very strong flavor, but it was one that I really enjoyed. I think everyone liked it too.

    looks good..similar to the food in rural thailand i eaten so often, probably only the seasoning that is different..simple and healthy ..

      The taste of the food is what got me. I was expecting a much plainer taste, but it was the direct opposite. I loved it all.

    How much did they charge for dinner?
    Just curious, cuz unfortunately many places geared towards tourist are very inflated + food isn't exactly what they claim it is, I'm not saying that's the case here, just from background experience, and people that used to prep these foods and now doing something else ....

    • @FrugalWanderer
      @FrugalWanderer  2 місяці тому +7

      They were very up front about it here. The dinner was $3 each and breakfast was included. Every meal I had there was delicious and worth the money for me. Especially having the ability to eat local foods the way they are intended.
