Cambodia-The best country ever!

CAMBODIA: KINGDOM OF WONDER We actually went for a tri-city(Siem Reap, Cambodia is our favorite and here are some of the reasons why you need to include Cambodia on your bucket list after the quarantine. 1. Food. I mean their supeeeeer yummy food. Khmer dishes didn’t disappoint kasi we did not expect naman in the first place HAHAHA On our way to Cambodia, our judgmental ass was like “Beshy, exotic ata mga food nila dito. Can’t imagine myself eating uod for lunch or tutubi for dinner” We arrived at around 9pm and it was raining pa so we decided to look for food near our chosen accommodation and to our surprise, LIVE COOKING SILA FRIEND as in you can taste the freshest shrimp straight from the aquarium pa and it’s not even a mamahaling restaurant. But if you wanna maximize your Khmer food experience don’t DARE miss the Pub Street. Open siya every night lang. We decided to eat there on our last night in Siem Reap. We tried their Beef Lok Lak, and trust me ang sarap. Im crying!!!! Beef noodle soup is only 2USD (Yup, dollars po yung money nila) and it’s good for two na but we made it for three kasi ang dami ng servings. Sweet and Sour shrimp is only 3USD and it comes with rice na din their squid is 1.75USD each. Ano say ng dampa? Must try dishes: Beef Lok Lak (Taste can be compared to stir-fried beef and black pepper beef combined but mas masarap) and Fish Amok (Basically it’s a curried fish but not too spicy and a bit sweeter. It is usually served in banana leaf) Mostly ng food nila comes with rice na kaya super sulet talaga. 2. Freshest Fruit Shakes. For those na mahilig sa fruits, this is the best place to be. Ang SARAP AT ANG LALAKI din ng servings 😅 Imagine ordering an Avocado shake for only 1USD with a size larger than Starbucks’ venti. Ito ang literal na daks na hahanap-hanapin mo mama. Choosy ka pa ba? We tried the pineapple, avocado and mango shakes na mas madaming fruits kesa sa ice. Sorry, Frutas 😅 3. Souvenir Shops. Mahihiya yung Divisoria and Taytay sa tawad na ibibigay nila. Imagine going there tas you’ll be approached by Cambodian women in their super malambing na accent “Hello Ladies. How much do you have? Ill give you discount” Yes, sila mag aadjust sa budget mo. I can still remember getting a souvenir worth 1 dollar na originally 3 dollars talaga. Di ka nila tatantanan hanggat di mo kukunin yung products. Hanggat kaya nila ibigay, ibibigay nila. Ganun dapat! Char! They have rattan bags din similar to the one of Indonesia. And ang gaganda din ng quality promise!!!! 4. Pub Street. I know I mentioned this awhile ago pero isasama ko pa din siya sa list kasi Pub Street alone is an enough reason to visit Siem Reap, Cambodia. Na shookt kami sa dami ng foreigners. Best place for night life kasi again open lang siya every night. Kaya good choice din yung accommodation na nakuha namin kasi walking distance lang siya. #foodie #nationalpark #themepark #urbanexplorers

It’s pointless visiting this museum if you don’t take an audio guide. Sure lots of exhibits have brief descriptions but you get so much more info with guide, instead of just walking around not knowing what you’re looking at. Lots of carvings/statues/ Buddha etc, but also some interesting artifacts....sadly some with unknown provenance. Spend a couple of hours here, they have a small cafe and lovely gardens too.
