I love Bloody Marys - anytime of the day. It’s not just for breakfast anymore. I travel quite a bit and make a point of trying the Bloody Mary in each place I visit.

Metro restaurant Cambodia

January 23, 2011/ Kevin Kubota

I didn't really expect to find a great bloody mary in Cambodia, but we went to this great "Americanized" restaurant on the recommendation of a local friend. It was as nice as any trendy vegas dig and the food was great. I generally prefer to eat authentic when I'm traveling, but this spot sounded really good, and it was!

The bloody was pretty straight. No flavors or secret recipes, just old school tomato juice, vodka, and too much Worcestershire. It was drinkable, but not finishable.
