We’ve a set menu:
– fried fish
– tomato soup – too much minced pork
– Sweet sour chicken
– long egg with minced pork

All are good. Fruits at the end are fresh.

A hoping place; as the night ages on, it becomes more alive. Shops, food vendors, tuk tuk drivers and customers are coming together, to make the night memorable.
The fish spa or fish for feet, however you call it, has been popular in China for a long while. I don’t know if this starts elsewhere outside of China.

Will not return… But glad I went because their bathroom border / trim tiles #113/136 are identical to my family’s Chee Hsin Tiles, that was produced hundred years ago.
It’s unfortunate that a table of dozen people is having dinner when we walked in. The ground level hall (with a/c) is empty except the party of dozen, with a crying infant (shouldn’t you gtfo?) and a toddler that roams around otherwise empty room. I’ve two children and they knew their limit, going banana in private, like inside the car and at home.
There are four Michelin starred restaurants, we’ve dined with Kroya and Malis first because I like their sophisticated and elegant decor. The decor of this one and Embassy are nothing to write home about. So I don’t have high expectation.
Good service. Nice chopsticks and the rest, made from palm tree, petty blue tableware (although they’re of the same design but the bowl looks better – less is more…) , shabby utensils.
The tasting menu of the north: too much food for two and, this is the deal breaker that I won’t return: just very ordinary homey foods. The low ceiling made the dining experience unappetizing.
Out of the tray, I like the raw veggie, minced pork and rice the best. I learnt one new veggie: wing bean, it may taste better if cooked – I generally don’t like raw beans.
Margarita is ok but the mojito with passion fruit is really good and refreshing: thank you.

Def will return.
One of my favorites restaurants during this trip. I’ve wonderful experience.
When I first passed by this hotel after visiting the little arty market on Oum Khun Street, my first feeling is ‘oh so colonial’. The swing beds seem to move one back in time.
We’ve dinner indoor and afternoon tea out door on the swing bed.
Decor is elegant and classy. The indoor floor to ceiling glass wall offer the full view of the beds and the street.
White linen napkin with black trim, very handsome looking.
Atop a ring of jasmine, is four fat Indian lotus. They must be infatuated with flowers because many of their foods have flowers and leaves.m, that are edible.
Very good stems.
The service is wonderful and the foods are delicious. We’ve two small different tasting menus:
The among of food is fine, would be better if it’s slightly less. The presentation and taste are excellent.
They care enough to ask if we want our dessert immediately or after five minutes.
It’s an 80 degree night, comfortable with or without a thin shawl. We’ve our desserts out on their swing bed. I can see myself falling asleep on it, after a satisfying meal.

Wat Bo is the oldest Buddhist temple in Siem Reap. The compound is very enjoyable because we went on a Monday mid morning and it was devoid of people.
Some halls are open to visit but only if you’re taking shoes off.

A neat, clean and efficient airport. Bathroom has a kiddy sink.
We landed at 10:54am and out of the building by 11:07, after the customs and exchange money, for the ride to the hotel. It does seem our plane is the only one at the time.
Everywhere I looked, I see China: it was built by a Chinese company (Yunnan Investment Holdings Ltd., under a 55-year build–operate–transfer agreement), opened Oct 2023. 25 miles to town, “takes about an hour” the driver said. Did I hear a little resignation – the old airport was closer … The two way traffic road looks brand new.
We used app Grab for the ride, and a car is immediately ready for us, according to the app. However, one man met us right outside, who has multiple phones, said, our car is coming from outside of the airport, “less expensive.” A suv did come quickly and a second man took two phones from the first man. Our driver is a young man whose command of English is better than little Irene. He has a relaxed manner; saying he forgot the phone, and u turn back to the airport, handed two phones to a man.
To town, 120k riels (about $30) in car and 60 riels on tuk.
On our way into town, prime minister’s entourage passed by us.
