Lunch from a basket

Cambodia is a mix of old and new. You can go to a very fancy new restaurant or pick up your lunch for a woman selling it out of two wicker baskets on the street.

The woman in the photo below is selling breakfast in my ally. She comes through every day about the same time. The basket on the right of the photo is lined with banana leaves and contains the noodles. On the left side the plates surround the bowl of soup that goes over the noodles.

When she moves from location to location she puts the bamboo bar over her shoulder and walks to her next stop.

In the photo below you see a different woman carrying her restaurant with her. You can see the chopsticks hanging off of the bar behind her and you can see her seat handing from the support of the basket in front.
