Interesting foodstuffs were on display at a local market. I decided not to sample the fried grasshopper!

I have included a photo of my breakfast called “the Pho” – tasty!

And see when I got up close and personal with a huge prawn in Phnom Penh later served to me for dinner – with a side of ants! I was brave and ate the ants …

You can be adventurous on this cruise and sample local dishes but if that is not your wish, there are more familiar offerings on board.
