The photo note
#Khmer style #banhmi! After seeing this guy cycling around, it was a must to flag him down! #realstreetfood #grub #foodography #foodspotting #cambodia #siemreap #cambodian
Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
A crusty baguette split open and packed with shredded green papaya and carrot, followed by the vendor himself and his rolling glass cart stacked with fresh loaves.
Seeing a sandwich vendor cycle past and flagging him down is exactly how street food is supposed to work. This Khmer version leans on a big handful of crunchy shredded vegetables.
