Healthy breakfast at Residence 101
Rented a bicycle at Backpackers' Hostel for US$1 (valid till 8pm) to cycle around town. Found out that you can also rent a bicycle from Residence 101 for US$2.
Passed by a popular bakery, ice cream parlor and restaurant - Blue Pumpkin
The Royal Garden
A popular temple besides the Royal Garden
The garden that is maintained by Raffles Hotel
Lunch at Haven Training School
Really admire how several organisations in Siem Reap are dedicated to supporting disadvantaged youth, and I do hope to do more in future :)
Soba noodles with shrimps
Salt and pepper Calamari
Topped off with fresh coconut juice, especially in this heat
Look-see at Sarai, our next-door neighbor
Adore the Moroccan design of Sarai
Strolling right outside Pub Street area
Bemused by this scene of innocence at play
Wonderful dinner at Il Forno, a small cosy italian restaurant in Pub Street area
Cheese platter
Handmade tagliolini
Marcio, the friendly restaurant manager, treated us to a complimentary shot of limoncello, supposedly to aid with our digestion lol
Massage at Temple Massage, just opposite Il Forno (head, shoulders and back massage US$10; 30 mins foot massage US$8)
Drinks at the Yellow Sub - owned by fellow Singaporean, Joey
My favourite Mojito for a perfect ending to the night :)
Day 3
Hearty American breakfast at Residence 101 (my new quirk - squeeze a bit of lime juice and drizzle some honey into your cup of tea)
Lunch at Rohatt Cafe
Khmer fried rice with fermented fish
A prominent watermill at King's Road
We hired a tuk tuk service from Residence 101 for two-way transport to Angkor Wat (US$15). Ask for Hoi, our friendly driver!
Finally, a visit to Angkor Wat, the earthly representation of Mount Meru (the Mount Olympus of the Hindu faith and abode of ancient gods).
Do allocate at least 1.5 - 2 hours to take in the grand scale of Angkor Wat.
Crawling up the steep steps
Hiding in the shade for a brief moment of contemplation
Time to regroup at Raffles Hotel. Check out the vintage 1929 lift! Could not help but ask for a ride up and down lol
Pre-dinner drinks at Elephant Bar
Then its home sweet home :)
Till the next adventure xoxo
