A fellow beer lover I met on the weekend mentioned a bottle shop in Phnom Penh which stocks Belgian beer - Leffe Blonde & Brune, Hoegaarden & Hoegaarden Grand Cru. As with most alcohol here, they're incredibly cheap especially for premium beer ($1.40 a bottle). Lucky Drink is at 127 Blvd Preah Monivong. I also discovered a new supermarket just a few doors down (Thai Huot Supermarket, 99 - 105 Blvd Preah Monivong) which specialises in French delicacies. I picked up a delicious Saucisson for a few bucks. Alas, I still haven't found any imported English Bitter or Ale, but these beers are a very decent drop all the same.

Is that weird looking sausage thing really called a "Bastides"... is that french for bastard?
ReplyDeleteI think French for bastard is batard. Bastide is apparently a fortified medieval town. Had some of this for lunch today, very tasty !
