Phnom Penh Roadside Breakfast Option

I am in Phnom Penh with an advance team checking out potential sites for service-learning projects for summer 2024 and beyond. We arrived in PP yesterday (Sunday). Today, before we set out to visit the first site, I went out for a jog, and ended up checking out a number of options for breakfast on the roadside.  These are targeting, apparently, riders of motorcycles, and drivers of all kinds of vehicles. 


Popular sandwiches made with French bread. These can be picked up in a matter of seconds. 


Buns of all kinds and colours. 


Roasted skinless (!) bananas. Roasted sweet sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves. …


Boiled taro and other unidentified objects.


Coconuts and jackfruits.


Pancakes of various shapes.


Fried dough.  Familiar shape and texture but short (compared to those in Hong Kong).


Prepared lunch boxes of rices with various unidentified somethings. Very very fast.



Student lunch boxes filled with something.  Right outside the school, before the students walk in, of course. 

Noddles with or without soup.  These take a bit of time to prepare. But it is still fast food. 

Such variety on only a section of sidewalk of one road, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh.  One really cannot say Phnom Penh is a dull place.
