Khmer food is neither too spicy nor too bland, and is mainly based around fish and meat. To find local food, look around the main market and on the other side of the river where there are many food stands. Breakfast consists of noodles, soups and rice with some type of meat. In the evening you can smell the barbecued beef rising through the air, which most locals have with the local Angkor beer. Siem Reap is also a haven for fruit lovers – from mangoes of all shapes and sizes to delicious mangoustines.
