AK the Food Pantry

A new deli has just opened in Phnom Penh. Auskhmer, previously only selling wholesale to restaurants now has a shop front - the AK food pantry. The pantry stocks a great selection of deli products, imported wine and beer. On the beer front, this is easily the best place in town to pick up Aussie Mega-swill such as VB or Crown. Although, why you would want to buy expensive imported lager with no flavour when the local stuff is cheaper and better i'm not sure. However, there were a few gems available on the beer shelves which I haven't seen available anywhere else. James Squire Amber Ale & Golden Ale are both tasty boutique brews for a mass market beer. Even better, the German Erdinger Weissbier (wheat beer) in both original and dunkel (dark) variants are excellent beers. I remember drinking these many years ago on a climbing trip to Europe and enjoying them very much. The food pantry also sell ten packs of Birds Eye fishfingers. I've been on the receiving end of a lot of ridicule over the years for my love of fishfingers, so I consider the stocking of them by such a high quality deli to be a vindication of my secret pleasure !

AK the food pantry are at #125, St. 105, Boeng Keng Kang 3.

Ps. The best way to eat fish fingers is on a whole-grain bread sandwich. Grill them to a nice crispy golden brown, and make up the sandwich with lashings of good quality mayonaisse. Go on, try it, no one ever has to know ;-)
