bootleg DVDs ($1.50 each), shimmering silk table runners and hangings, carved Buddhas,
cheap clothing, and attractive souvenirs. As with every local market, there's a selection of
food places where you can get a tasty meal, cooked fresh for less than $2.
Central Market is somewhere between the above-mentioned two. It's not as crowded or
overwhelming as Orrussey and still good for finding a wide range of stuff. And Olympic
Market is similar to Central Market, as well as having the best selection of fabric vendors.
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening from 5pm to midnight, there's a Night Mar-
ket (located at the north end at the riverside) where you can find souvenirs, food, clothing,
and knickknacks, as well as listen to live Cambodian entertainment.
Shopping malls aren't like those back home but there are a couple which are fun to browse
in and most of them have large supermarkets on the ground level. Check out the Sorya
Mall, Sovanna Mall, and Bayon Malls around town (Bayon has a good kitchen shop on
the top level).
When it comes to fresh produce, we usually buy ours at open air markets, such as Psaar
Kandal (located a block off the riverfront between Streets 136 and 154), BKK market
(Street 63, between Street 380 and Street 392), or Psaar Chas (between Streets 110 and
108). Here you can buy good quality fruit and vegetables at a fraction of supermarket costs
and get a hefty dose of local flavour at the same time.
