Tweety Bird is a cartoon character popular back in the day and my younger sister’s favourite.

When I saw this pair at a shop, I snatched them right away because I know my sister will be very happy to own these.

The precocious Tweety Bird. Who doesn’t know this yellow cutie?

APAD 049: Strange and ancient

Saw this sign outside a shop selling what look like antique wooden furniture along Sothearos Boulevard.

“Strange” and “ancient” furniture are sold here, according to this sign.

I don’t know what a “strange” furniture is. Do you? I was curious to find out but forgot to ask because my husband and I were busy looking at chairs and work tables.

I doubt it if the stuff sold there are genuine antique pieces. They are poorly made. The work table (with drawers) I was eyeing for my craft table this morning looked great on the top portion. But underneath, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the drawers were poorly joined, some nails are exposed, and there were lots of scratches.

We’re on a food trip since last week. This week, we had tarts.

Our favourites!

On the right is tarte au citron (lime curd tart) and on the left is tarte au fruit de la passion (passion fruit curd tart) from Comme à la Maison restaurant in Phnom Penh. The tarts have a nice yellow coloured curds and they taste superb!
