Hello, I’m back! I wasn’t planning on a long blog hiatus but there you go… I just did.
Now that I’m here again, I would try to make up for the lost time.

Here’s my Monday Mellow Yellows entry for this week:

Tshirts galore, available at Psah Thmey (Central Market).

I just happened to pass by and these brightly-coloured merchandise caught my eye. Most of the shirts actually have good quality similar to those sold in air-conditioned shops, but are way cheaper!

Signs, signs: Chocolate Shop

Last week, I was planning to go to Daiso Japanese shop at Aeon Mall to buy bottles of calligraphy ink when my husband said he was going with me. I was surprised, of course, but pleasantly surprised. He seldom goes to the mall with me so this should be fun, I thought.

It was actually a quiet mall when we arrived. There were not many shoppers. After getting my ink and several more miscellaneous stuff, we bought sugar-free chocolates from this shop:

The Chocolate shop is owned by Belgian expats who have lived in Cambodia for more than a decade now. I actually enjoyed going to their shop at St. 240 where they also have sandwiches, pies and smoothies. Their chocolate selection are varied, and they recently introduced Cambodian flavours infused to their chocolates, one of which is, the most popular, their signature Kampot pepper chocolate.

Monday Mellow Yellows: Home stuff

Posted by on Feb 16, 2015 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia life, Cycle 3, sights, That's My World, What's On in Cambodia | 2 comments

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

Posted by on Feb 8, 2015 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia life, Cycle 3, Expat Life | 2 comments

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.

APAD 289: RTWs

Psah O'Russei, local market

Some cheap RTW (ready-to-wear) clothes at Psah O’Russei. This market is like a wholesale distribution centre for most RTWs coming from Vietnam, China, HK, and many others. It just creeps me out looking at the mannequins.
