Tous le Jours: My New Favorite Place!

So maybe I do have an obsession with The Blue Pumpkin and their sandwiches. I love their desserts and coffee, too!

But there’s a new shop in my life now, and it is called Tous le Jours.

My mom and her friends keep talking about Tous le Jours Phnom Penh because they said that the bread (pastries?) are to die for. I, on the other hand, am a neanderthal and I do not know what it is.

Last week, my mom went to Mobitel, which is near Tous le Jours Phnom Penh, and she dropped by the bakery to buy some bread and doughnuts.

When I got home, I had one of the doughnuts, and guess who became Tous le Jours Phnom Penh’s number one fan? ME!

The very next day, I decided to check out the shop itself.

The Vietnamese Coffee Challenge

One of the things I have learned to enjoy since achieving my expatriate status is Vietnamese coffee.

While I haven’t had a good cup for several months now, I was reminded of how delicious and simply fulfilling their coffee is a few days ago.

My mom and I were on our way to Ho Chi Minh for the Khmer New Year, and during the regular stop at the Hono Red Restaurant and Bus Stop*, I ordered coffee so that I had enough kick in me to last the day.

Ah, coffee.

Yogurt Ice Cream, because I’m melting

Minutes ago, yes MINUTES, I stepped out of the office to buy ice cream. The weather in Phnom Penh has been crazy insane the past few days, and I really, really, really wanted ice cream.

I badgered my colleague to come out with me simply because I did not want to walk alone. LOL so we went out to the newly opened Blue Pumpkin – Take Away shop which was just close to our office.

They opened this week, and I happen to pass by it every day when I go to work. So yes, it has been waving enticingly since Monday.

Truth be told, I love, love, LOVE The Blue Pumpkin, but curse them for setting up shop so close! They are springing out at almost every corner so I cannot escape.

This shop is quite small, so you do not see the white sofa beds that you can normally enjoy in their other shops. It is at the bus stop, so that is why it has the ‘Take Away’ added to the name.

BUT, I like the fact that they have sandwiches and bread so I can drop by for bread and convince myself that ice cream and coffee are not available.

My colleague had their iced coffee with milk, while I had the yogurt ice cream.

Mmmm…
