These are some of the better preserved carvings inside Angkor Wat.

Apsaras are celestial beings (dancers) in Buddhist folklore. Images of apsaras and devatas are prominently found in Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm temples. Above, you can see that the figures are in very good shape. They’re even more outstanding when seen with your own two eyes.

Welcome to Inside Cambodia!

I just moved here and this is my first post.

Obviously, this blog is still under construction. I’m still in the process of tweaking my new theme so I won’t be able to post photos as of yet. Will resume back to regular blogging as soon as I have completed dressing up this blog.

For the time being, please look at my recent photos, and not so recent ones. Also, if it is not much to ask, kindly update your RSS feeds to this (right click the logo or any of the links, then copy link location):

I hope you will come back next time.

APAD 144: Phnom Penh’s Noodle House

The sign that never fails to send my salivary glands into a frenzy!

A new find – this noodle-house is a gem! My fellow foodie and I were craving for noodles after watching a movie last week. We consulted our pocket guide and decided to try out this noodle-house along the riverside. With that in mind we hailed a tuk-tuk and directed the driver to go to the riverside. When we reached Street 130, we got off the tuktuk still not knowing where exactly the restaurant is. So, we just wandered off the Psah Kandal 1 area despite the heat. When we saw this sign, we knew right away that this was where we wanted to be – and it’s going to be in our list of great and cheap eats in Phnom Penh.The Noodle House is sort of a street-side cafe with a cosy, friendly atmosphere. They serve all kinds of Asian noodles, especially la mien, or the Chinese pulled-noodles, and they are made fresh everyday. The menu is still small but diverse enough that my friend and I vowed to come back to sample each item in their menu. And oh, the smoothies are a must-try! This street-side noodle-house-cum-cafe is located at the ground floor of a newly-refurbished French colonial style apartment.
