The Khmer Rouge would have a conniption: Aeon Mall is everything the battle-hardened snake-eaters wanted to obliterate from the homeland. It’s a $200-million temple to cold, hard commercialism. The Aeon Food Court, on the first floor just inside the main entrance, serves as a culinary showroom where street food goes upscale. There’s fried noodles and fried rice, candies, popcorn and ice cream, sandwiches, pig snouts and even sushi, all for just a tad more than what it would cost at a sticky-tabled roadside pop-up. Surely you’ve been?
