The Russian Market, known locally as Tuol Tom Poung Market, has been a significant fixture in Phnom Penh's culinary and cultural landscape. It earned its English name during the 1980s when the majority of foreigners in Cambodia were Russians, hence the market became popularly known as the Russian Market. While it is famous for various goods, including clothing, antiques, and art, food remains a central part of its appeal. The market presents an amalgamation of traditional Khmer cuisine with Vietnamese, Chinese, and other Southeast Asian influences, delivering an authentic local culinary experience.
