Preparation steps:
- Planning for this date is fairly straightforward. Firstly, do some online research about Phnom Penh's local food offerings, special delicacies, and street food locations. Draft a rough route for your self-guided tour, listing down the food items you want to try and their locations.
- Next, ensure to dress comfortably as the day will involve a lot of walking. Comfortable shoes, light clothing, hats, and sunblock are essentials. Don't forget to bring along a bottle of water to stay hydrated as you explore.
- Lastly, bring some cash in the local currency. Lots of street vendors may not accept credit cards. Plus, it's always handy to have a bit of spare change for tipping or small souvenirs.
Some tips:
- When trying street foods, remember to be adventurous but cautious at the same time. Don't necessarily shy away from street vendors, as they often have the most authentic and delicious foods. But ensure the food is cooked properly and served hot, reducing the odds of an upset stomach.
- As Phnom Penh can be quite hot and humid, remember to stay hydrated throughout the day. Take frequent rest if needed and recoup your energy for the next food stop.
- Lastly, strike up conversations with the locals or the vendors. They might recommend you some hidden gems or 'must-try' items that aren't on your list. So, be flexible with your plans and be open to changes for a more enriching experience.
