HELLO Steemit! From Cambodia's Bitcoin-themed restaurant in Phnom Penh - Coin Cafe

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago  (edited)


 Hello from Coin Cafe  in Phnom Penh!  Our humble cafe, hidden in the backstreets of Tuol  Sleng neighborhood, serves excellent Western and authentic Khmer  cuisine.  High praise goes to our proprietor and Chief Culinary Officer who has spent the majority of her life in the kitchens of Cambodia. 


You can pay for food with Bitcoin at our cafe and you can see our entire transaction history on the blockchain.  We always use the same address and don't use that address for anything else (except for one time when we sold a bunch of Cambodian pepper for Bitcoin.  More on that later): https://blockchain.info/address/1DEbU5mWmxmvaQoNhN5nYFQSJRJmV5bAZq.



Our goal here has been to provide a place for Bitcoin activity in the Kingdom. We hold meetups, do Bitcoin exchanges, entertain Bitcoin travelers and serve as spokespeople for the crypto-currency.  http://www.phnompenhpost.com/cryptocurrency-cafe-where-bitcoin-buys-coffee &  http://www.phnompenhpost.com/post-weekend/superbrew-java-nepal-us

[Our first Bitcoin customers in 2014]


Bitcoin is only part of the story at our cafe. Being that we are located 'off-the-beaten-path,' we don't get a lot of foreigners here. The majority of our customers are locals from the neighborhood who don't order Western-style dishes. Fortunately, our extraordinary cook is adept at making authentic local dishes, the kind that you won't find on our menu. But here is a picture of our menu anyway!

We have a soft-spot for domestically produced Khmer goods.  That's why we make a point of promoting local products at our cafe. Here is a sample of some of the things you can buy (and eat) at our cafe:


We've got a ton more content and insight on life in Cambodia that we can put on Steemit and we're looking forward to doing so over the next few months. Topics will include farming, doing business in Cambodia, and dirt biking in the province.  I hope this will interest some of you.
