One particular station had a pole dancer gyrating  the whole night. I wasn’t too sure the crowd at the station is mesmerized by the food or the dancer. 😉

    the fish soup from cambodia not as good as in cambodia itself..but generally MIGF gala have a good spread.would be better if the food was served hot and not reheated. thats why should go and try each restaurant during the oct month

      I agree. The food is not a good indication of the actual dish.
