My officemates and I ran errands across town last Friday. We had an uneventful tuk-tuk ride but we gotta do what we gotta do, eh!  On the way back, we passed by Olympic Market and there – rows of nom pang pate stalls welcomed us. Of course, I had to stop and buy one. Nom pang pate is one of my favourite street food in Phnom Penh.

Nom pang pate. Local baguette with pate, cucumbers, green tomatoes, slathered with yolk-ish concoction composed of honey and other secret ingredients. Yummy.

For only a dollar, you’ll get fat slabs of pate on a bed of fresh veggies (mentioned above) on a crunchy baguette with shredded papaya on the side (much like our achara). It’s a remarkably crunchy and messy affair but I tell you, it’s finger-lickin’ good, mate!

One hour of strong rain has resulted into this. How can I go home now?

We have a swimming pool in the yard. It appears only when it rains.

Gotta get my neon orange bikini ready at all times.

This guesthouse is near Wat Phnom in Phnom Penh. I’ve never been inside this place -the sign caught my attention though. No idea if it’s any good.

Scratch my back, please, mum.
