You will have to admit that these frogs are pretty good to eat, almost like Barbequed chicken with a bit extra juicy from the inside. Visit the Old Market and buy fresh, beheaded frogs if you want to make them on your own. It will also be an unforgettable experience.

Buy a fresh juice from a street vendor in Night Market and ask the vendor on the side for a grilled snake when the night sets in and you are in mood for a healthy protein rich snack. Grilled snake is amongst the most favorite street foods in Siem Reap and per snake will cost you $1. They will serve you regular sized snakes, beautifully arranged on a stick. Chewy in taste, they are much like the scrapings of an old tyre. Please do keep a glass of juice handy and don’t believe anyone saying they taste like chicken!
Magic Stick Ice-cream

Not involving any creepy or dangerous animals, this one is not creepy, just an ice-cream in a strangely shaped cone. The corn-flour cones or sticks, which are put in shape of a walking stick, are filled by ice cream. The creamy swirl at the two ends makes for a very amazing shaped ice cream. The way to eat can be puzzling but it is fun to figure out whether to hold it like an actual stick or like a pipe. The Magic Stick Ice-cream is available for $2 in the Old Market. You can always have your share of Siem Reap’s weird street food from this delightfully weird ice-cream if eating fried tarantulas and barbequed snakes is a bit extreme for you.
