Just sampling Vietnamese dishes at one of the local restaurants in the city.

I’ve had better Vietnamese food elsewhere.

Some are too oily but the others are good. The yellow crepe is called banh xeo which I like. It doesn’t taste as good as the ones bought inside the Russian market though.

Offering a buffet lunch that costs only $6 per person, the restaurant offers a decent spread of Khmer-Thai-Vietnamese dishes. Drinks are not included. It’s a reasonable price. No wonder it gets crowded at lunchtime with local customers and tourists that arrive busloads after busloads.

My rubber stamps and other stamping materials just arrived and I cannot wait to begin working on my paper craft projects this year!

Let the stamping begin…!

The above rubber stamp was bought from a friend’s shop at Etsy. Pretty neat pattern, isn’t it?

Forget about coffee. Try the soothing mint tea at Beirut Restaurant at the riverside. They serve authentic Lebanese and middle-eastern fare at a very reasonable price.
