Dragon fruit to the right. 

Fresh off the plane, I haven’t quite got my street food legs yet. Off for a Thai instead at
Chivit Thai ( 130 Ph Wat Bo, Siem Reap  012 830 761) set is a wooden pavillion and garden.

Complimentory spring rolls, a scorching green papaya salad ( I asked for hot) and fish cakes in dipping sauce. The most interesting dish was squid served with egg yolks. That’s solid yellow half yolks. The tiny squid were tender the eggs just seemed right.

Finished off with a salad of watermelon, papaya, mango, durian, pineapple and dragon fruit. It was all very refreshing but I still wish this joint served beer. My mouth is dusty after over 12 hours travel.
