Those who favor tidbits in electronic and culinary form may take a liking to 'Phnomenon', a Cambodian food weblog that has webbed up an impressive amount of unique reviews over the last few months. phnomenon.com
John Weeks gets Editor Phil to dish up the details on how it came to be:
Are you a 'foodie'? Do you have any special dietary needs or is it just that you like expanding your palate?
Foodie? Yes and no. I like quality scoff and swill, and talking about the process of how it was made, grown, butchered, or brewed but I can't be bothered with the pretentiousness and exclusivity that tends to seep into conversations about food. As for dietary needs, there is a Chinese saying that says: "?????????" which means something along the lines of "if its back faces the sky, you can eat it". I'm willing to try anything once, except for primates.
2. Why a food blog?
I didn't want to be another Westerner who came to Cambodia and wrote a vague "how amazing is Angkor" blog, that marvels at the authenticity of their own experience. Every second backpacker who does their week transit from Bangkok to Saigon via Siem Reap has one of those.
