Cambodia: Siem Reap Sights, Local Markets and Food

I just realised that I’ve not posted about my Cambodian trip I did earlier this year in February from the 4th to 11th where I visited Siem Reap and Battambang, the second largest city in Cambodia.

Breakfast was finally different with a street-side banh cuon. It’s like chee cheong fun, only with less filling and a lot more folds of thin rice flour layers.
