Phnom Penh - Phsar Chas, Tonle Sap Morning and Evening
Feb 2014
Our second day in Phnom Penh began at the Old Market (Phsar Chas). In fact, it's me alone as my partner was still sleeping. The market is located at Street 13, around 10 minutes walk from our hotel at Street 178. It sells all kinds of food: fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, dry food, noodles, spices, etc. The hygiene for meat was so so. I saw sometimes dead hens under the stall, directly on the wet floor. Fruits were fresh and good. I bought mango, papaya and mangosteen.
The morning in Phnom Penh was very busy. Hawkers were moving their food carts around. Low tables and stools lining across. All sorts of food, smoke.........White collars, blue collars and monks were busy for getting their breakfast in every corners. Strangers could be connected with food quickly.
For the return I took the river side. The sights, lights were very different from the day or night. It's much quiet. The light in the morning casted a romantic, mysteric feeling.
The river side was quite deserted during the day as the heat made ones suffer. Families, hawkers, friends all pop up in the evening.
