The hive is (almost) a secret place. I have heard it referred to as “The next hangout for expats”. The same person said to me, “keep it as a secret, I’d hate my favourite place to get too popular.” But I never could keep a secret … It’s tucked away, … Read More →
Following a post on “10 Great Places to eat for a cause” in the S.E.A. Backpacker (http://www.southeastasiabackpacker.com/10-great-places-to-eat-for-a-cause-in-south-east-asia), we decided to copy their idea. Here are twelve places in Siem Reap, granted not all restaurants, that “have a heart” and do more than the average for the community. They have all … Read More →
There are some bits of my job that threaten to become disasters. This (I just have a feeling in my bones) is going to become one of them. Both my wallet and my waistline are going to stop talking to me for months. However my sweet tooth is in heaven.Where … Read More →
On the corner of Abbey Road and Penny Lane is an interesting bar. Actually if you look for those two addresses on a map of Siem Reap, you’ll find neither. But go along THE Lane (the small alley that runs just North of and parallel to Pub Street) and you’ll … Read More →
On the riverfront, just down from the Old Market, there’s the Angkor Trade Centre. At the back of that is a Noria (it doesn’t do much as there’s no water there, but it looks good for the photos). In front of that is a new café. In fact it’s quite … Read More →
I’ve had a few people say to me “It’s all very well having all these ideas, but it’s too confusing to make an itinerary from them.” This indeed may be a problem. Siem Reap Post . com offers so much, it’s hard choosing what to do. There is also the … Read More →
Tucked away (a bit), close to the main drag of Pub Street, yet far enough away to be worth mentioning is a tiny bar. It’s called Picasso. Stand at Pub Street, in either of the side streets that cross it. Walk toward the river, half a block and you come … Read More →
It’s a rainy afternoon, and you feel like treating yourself. Or alternately you might just feel like stepping back into a world you thought had passed 70 years ago. Put on some decent togs and take a trip to the F.C.C. for High Tea. The Foreign Correspondent’s Club next door … Read More →
You know we look for places with a difference – well Common Grounds certainly fits that bill. It’s a little tucked away. You can approach it from Tep Vong Street – go down the small road beside the ANZ Bank (most tuk tuk drivers know that) and it’s about 50m … Read More →
Dah Dah …. With a fanfare and a small flourish, not to mention an acrobatic performer or two, the Cambodian Circus, Phare, announced its new café. Of course, we went along for a meal. It’s at the circus ground, and we know you know where that is. We turned up … Read More →
“Miss Wong Cocktail bar for a taste of vintage Shanghai. The cherry-red lanterns suspended from the doorway beckon passersby to this hidden gem. Inside, slip into one of the intimate leather booths for an Indochine Martini. Easily the most atmospheric and most seductive bar in Siem Reap, it’s perfect for … Read More →
Charlie’s Bar. The tale is inexorably linked with Charlie’s story. So, we will tell the two together, and hope you enjoy it. The first question? Why publish this article today? There are two reasons. Charlie’s has been open a month today. Also, we wanted to advertise his 4th July party … Read More →
Life’s too short for bad coffee. So goes the slogan on the back of the tee shirts for Sister Srey. I went to a really great café the other day. I was a little naughty, because I went on a Sunday morning, when they were busy, with no appointment and … Read More →
There’s a very interesting bar in town, called the tuk tuk bar. We have been watching it on facebook, and when they announced the “mini tuk tuk bar” I decided to go along and visit. However, this turned out to be more of an adventure than I had thought, and … Read More →
UPDATE 29/08/13 UC is back open again under the management of its owners – Jacob and Carsten. We wish them luck in continuing with this unusual bar. We’ve been there and can confirm that it has had a “freshen up” but is still just as quirky as ever. The menu’s … Read More →
Do you have kids? This time I really mean do you have kids, not just are you young at heart? And they need to be young kids … If you do, then Jungle Junction has to be on your list. They are about 1km down High School Road. We’ve embedded … Read More →
Now, if we said Miss Wong to you, apart from thinking of Chinese ladies, if you know the bar in Siem Reap, you’d think “The best cocktail bar in the city”. Indeed we will shortly be doing a feature on it with that as the focus. If we say Yellow … Read More →
Now I like a good pizza and I also love local food. There are 4 restaurants in a row that you should know about. No, they don’t make beef lok lak pizza (although I’m sure they could if you asked), but they all are worth trying if you’re dining on … Read More →
The Butterfly Garden restaurant is one of those quiet wonders that few people know about and more should. It’s not hard to find. From the Old Market, walk along the river (North) and cross the next bridge (not the one by the market, the next one.) Follow that road straight … Read More →
