Not necessarily a place to return to for drinks: Silk Garden Bar & Restaurant (4. January 2024)
On the quest for the best cocktail, we ended up in places, we hadn’t expected, like the Silk Garden Bar & Restaurant. Again, heads-up, you need to pay by cash, and the change is given in KKP instead of USD, so, you might want to take that into account when going here (even if it […]
A great signature cocktail in a busy side street: Harry‘s Cocktail Bar (4. January 2023)
Next in line was Harry’s Cocktail Bar a few blocks down the road – and while the place only looked limitedly like a cocktail bar, the selection was slightly bigger than in the previous place. And the “Harry’s Sling (gin, dom, cranberry, lime, cherry brandy, passion)” (USD 5.75), apparently, their signature cocktail, was quite enjoyable. […]
A good start on the quest to find the perfect cocktail: Endora Restaurant & Wine Bar (4. January 2024)
On the quest to find amazing cocktails and cocktail bars, we ended up trying a few different ones like the “Endora Restaurant & Wine Bar”, which claimed to also have an amazing selection of cocktails. Well, I would rather say the selection of cocktails was limited, but I did enjoy the “Blue Lagoon (vodka, Cointreau, […]
While the temples are worth visiting, the restaurant isn’t really: Restaurant Rom Chong Angkor (4. January 2024)
Another day visiting the lesser known temples around Siem Reap like Beng Mealea and Banteay Srei is definitely worth when you’re in Cambodia. The temples are lovely, and they are definitely worth visiting – sure, not as impressive as Angkor Wat, but still on the must-do list! Between temples, it was time for another lunch […]
Exceptional service and tasty stuffed frog: Restaurant Sokkhak River (3. January 2024)
The Sokkhak River was recommended by the hotel, hence, we figured why not give it a try! The “pounded chicken breast with red tree ants (chicken breast, red tree ants, galangal, garlic, shallots, dried shrimp, herbs, peanuts and vegetable crudités)” (USD 7.80) was overall okay, but the greens on the side were a bit surprising […]
Nice bar for a pre-dinner visit: Miss Wong Cocktail Bar (3. January 2024)
There are quite a few bars close to the river in Siem Reap, and the Miss Wong was recommended to us by the tour guide, hence, we gave it a try. The “Spiced Bloody Mary (Kampot green-peppercorn and chili infused Vodka, Tabasco, tomato juice, and fresh Oriental celery leaves)” (USD 7.00) definitely left a good […]
Nice place for a quick break between visiting Angkor Wat and other temples: Restaurant Khmer Village (3. January 2024)
When you do a full day tour of Angkor Wat (absolutely worth seeing!), you might prefer to have a lunch break somewhere close to the temples, as this reduces your travel time quite a bit. And the Khmer Village restaurant is actually quite a decent choice. We went for “Amok Fish (fresh water fish slices […]
Breakfast at a place, which only opened 3 days ago: Restaurant Lok Lak @ Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort (3. January 2024)
The Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort had its actual opening on January 1st, 2024, a fact, which was not known to me prior to my arrival. Hence, I was quite surprised how generally well the breakfast selection already works. There is a bit of everything, ranging from sweet treats like waffles and pancakes … […]
