I was window-shopping with a friend the other day. We went to this French-sounding shop in Tuol Tumpong area that sells lovely home stuff!

Pretty coffee mugs and tea infusers.

Most of the products are from Korea – and when it’s from Korea, it’s guaranteed cuteness written all over them! So, naturally, I wanted to buy everything I saw, lol. Anyways, I didn’t go home empty-handed. I bought a silicon basting brush, a gold ink stamp pad and some cute pens.

Monday Mellow Yellows: Beautiful Shoes

Hello, I’m back 🙂

How was your weekend?
Mine was fun. My husband took me shopping and we got ourselves new pairs of shoes. We went to this popular, local shoe shop near Tuol Sleng Museum in Khan Chamkarmon, called Beautiful Shoes. We’ve been coming back to this shop for years and we’ve been really satisfied with their products and service.

Basically, we look at the shoes that are on display (one of the display shelves is pictured above) and when we find the design we like, we pick the colour and the material from the large swathes of samples they have. Or if you have a design or picture of the shoes you like, you show it to them and explain what you want them to do. Then they take our feet measurements and take note of our specifications, pay upfront or a deposit and in two weeks, we’ll have our shoes. And if the shoes don’t fit or you have complaints, you can simply return them or have them fixed at no extra cost.

Signs, signs: Burger house

I’m still on holiday mode. We are still enjoying the chilly weather in the Penh. Down under, the 2015 Australian Open is underway. Which means, I’m glued to my seat watching my favourite tennis players battle it out in grueling tennis action. Since I am mostly watching via live streaming online, I needed new headphones! I asked my husband to drive me to any electronics store in town and found this nice K240 model, a studio headphone, sort of. Just plug it in and you get a really nice sound.

Pardon the blabber. Here’s my Signs entry for this week:

Our go-to place for the best burger in town.

Arguably the best place for American-style fast-food burgers in Phnom Penh.
