I’ve been inside this government compound only once or twice. Although it doesn’t look big, the national television, TVK, is also housed inside this compound.

The Koh Pich (Diamond Island) Bridge (pictured below), the site of last year’s deadly stampede, is now being torn down. Workers have already started the demolition work yesterday.

Here’s another photo of the bridge, taken from a different angle.

APAD 227: A cloud-filled day

The new bridge to Koh Pich (Diamond Island). We went there to check out the One Province, One Product Exhibit two weeks ago and we weren’t disappointed.

Even though we went there on a weekend, the traffic was surprisingly not heavy, as you can see from the picture. Add to that, the weather was a cool 25C and even if the aircon wasn’t in full, it was still cool inside the exhibition area.  There were so many interesting things to see. I think the One Province, One Product exhibit is a great way for small and medium Cambodian producers and farmers to showcase their produce to the national and international level.

I always look forward to weekends in Phnom Penh where we get to dine out at a restaurant of our choice. More often than not, we go Chinese. And there is no shortage of authentic Chinese restaurants in the city.

I forgot how these are called in Khmer language but they are called “siomai” in the Philippines. My favourite. I could a dozen or more of this 🙂

APAD 217: Deja brew?

Here’s one snapshot of the many coffee shops that have mushroomed in the city. This shop has a cute name and sign – deja brew. The shop looks nice from the outside  but I wonder if the coffee is any good. I still prefer the coffee – iced coffee – sold in the local restos and markets.

One newly-arrived expat I know commented that she enjoyed going to a different coffee shop every day.
