Breakfast near the market
In real-estate the primary thing is location, location. This restaurant has that and a great menu. It is located next to the entrance to the market and across the street from a pagoda. I know it looks like a biker bar but it is really a breakfast restaurant.
The young lady cooking is full of energy; but she doesn't waste any motions. She has the large grill full of bean sprouts, fried Chinese noodles, fried eggs and small pastries filled with vegetables. She taps an egg with the flipper, the egg goes on the grill and the shell into the basket in one smooth motion. She fills plates or to go boxes, (here they use Styrofoam rather than the plastic sacks) with a practiced hand.
The sauce is a mixture of vinegar and what I call Cambodian ketchup (a pepper sauce).
Very good!!!
A laundry basket can have many uses in Cambodia. Here it holds the pastries before they go on the grill. There is another laundry basket below the grill used for a trash basket. Cambodians are very practical.
