That's the thing I don't want to silver spoon, but to have good food in Cambodia you have to. Eating at restaurants catering to foreigners is not an indication of "Cambodian food is delicious." Unless of course you like buffalo meat, fried spiders, ants, and other mystery meat. But than I'm not staying at 3 dollars per night rooms and travel 40 clicks on bicycles, so maybe I am silver spooning. Like I said, go there as a secondary destination, there is nothing there to make Cambodia your final destination.
You do not have to eat in fancy foreign restautants to get good grub in Cambodia, I've eaten in local cafe and street stalls and the food was delicious. I didn't have to eat spiders or ants once. Nothing wrong with buffalo meat though, I didn't eat it in Cambodia but I've eaten it at home many times and it's a delicious meat.
Reasons to make Cambodia your final destination: Angkor Temples, the history & culture, it's beauty, the fact that the country is lawless and you can do whatever the fuck you like, easy available and semi-legal drugs, great beaches, gorgeous islands for snorkelling, fishing etc, partying in PP & Sihanoukville, Bongkor National park etc.
This talk of Jakarta has intriguied me, didn't realise it had such a wild nightlife and the fact I can buy disco biscuits in clubs is right up my street.
