Brunch at Rekados Filipino Restaubar

Life in Phnom Penh has not been easy for my sister and I, but we are definitely holding on.

After a few weeks of subsiding on a tight budget, we agreed to treat ourselves with Filipino food that can be hard to find in Phnom Penh.

So we headed off to Rekados Filipino Restaubar, which is located right next to the Philippine Embassy.

The food there is okay though a bit higher. Considering the prices would be cheaper if we were back at our country. But then again, this is Cambodia, so the prices are a bit steep. But who cares? We got to eat delicious Filipino food!

My sister immediately went for the Bangusilog, while I went for the Lechon Kawali. *yum*

Bangusilog

Lechon Kawali

Felt so good to be able to eat something familiar.

Overall, I think we paid around $10+.

Nom Slek Jark

New experience for me.
It looks like the Philippine bud-bud, but not quite. Like bingka, but not quite.
It was quite delicious, not so sweet.
Like rice cake that’s been roasted.

To be honest, I was hesitant to try it at first. Then I found out that I liked it. 🙂
My friend said it’s from Kampot Province (or maybe I got the location wrong).

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.

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…
