Something Cambodian. Well, not entirely Cambodian anyway. This country used to be a French colony and one thing I appreciate about the Khmers, they retained some of the best French legacies – their food! All around the city its quite normal to see sidewalk vendors selling French baguettes for as little as 500 Riels (about $.10). What pandesal is to Pinoys, bagels are to New Yorkers, is the way nom pang is to Khmers.
Khmers eat nom pang with curries, with coffee but most of the time they eat it with pate. This is actually my all time favorite Khmer sidewalk snack. It’s very filling and cheap. What goes in there? Different kinds of pate, spring onions, some with mint, pickles with chili, butter, sardine sauce, and ground pork sauce. All for about 4000 R ($1) for a whole bread, which I can’t even finish so I usually opt for just half (kanat) for just 2000 R ($.50).
You can eat it in the pate place {look for a place with a small stall like the one in the photo} and they will serve it the way shown in the photo and it usually comes with free tea. Or you can also take it out and they’ll pack it all in with the pickles separate so you can add flavor and chili depending on your taste.
Kulang sa akin ‘yan, gusto ko isang buong nompang! LOL
My favourite snack, samahan pa ng isang basong teuk ro lok (fruit smoothie) – pak na pak, teh!

Luna, oh yes, its definitely very tasty and you wont believe the price. sabi nga ng sister ko the first time she tasted nom pang pate, ‘Goodbye, Subway.’ lol! It’s everywhere here so you won’t have a hard time looking for it. Just say ‘muy kanat’ (1/2) and you’re all set.
di pa ko kumain niyan, bat subukan ko minsan mukhang masarap e.
Noobfoodie
MommyLes, yes its really good and mura pa.
With your description, I can already smell how fresh your bread was. and it’s so cool that they serve it with tea

I want to try Cambodian food. I am an explorer who tries anything. If it looks good, I eat it. See you again, mine is up – Food Trip Friday.
@Hazelicious, oh you should. its a lot more subtle in the use of spices compared to Vietnamese or Thai cuisines but its nonetheless very very tasty. And food here is very cheap too.. Visited your entry =)
