If you’re looking to step into the world of Cambodian street food without stepping into something potentially fatal, deep fried bananas are about as safe and inoffensive as you’ll get. They’re widely available and the only difference in quality seems to be determined by how recently they were fried. The ripe bananas are flattened into a fritter and dipped in a sweet batter with black sesame seeds. At a price of 200riel (5 cents) each, you’d be hard pressed to find a cheaper snack when you do the weekly run for pirated DVDs at the Russian Market. This stand is open here every day and tends to stay open until they’ve sold all of their day’s bananas.
Location: Corner of St.135 and 432, near Psar Toul Tom Poung (Russian Market)
