			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I had been craving this for awhile now and specially so since I&#8217;m on the diet right now. I LOVE Khmer salads, they are very easy to make and very very tasty. Cambodians have a really passionate love affair with vegetables and thankfully, I&#8217;ve learned to be passionate about my veggies too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/foodtripfriday/cambodian-nyom1.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic1244" >

</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Nyom Salad is very easy to make. Here&#8217;s what you would need:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cabbage, sliced thinly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Carrots, strips.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cucumber, sliced thinly or in strips.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fresh green been sprouts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tomatoes, sliced thinly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Basil leaves (optional)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Peppermint leaves (optional)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dried shrimps , soaked and chopped.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Flaked dried fish (optional)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Peanuts</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for the sauce, you just need lemon juice (or vinegar if you don&#8217;t have lemon), 1-2 cloves of garlic chopped finely, sugar, fish sauce. Mix the sauce together and when you&#8217;re ready to eat just drizzle it over the veggies and toss.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">

</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is just perfect specially if you&#8217;re eating deep fried fish or grilled meat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s  been a crazy while since I last posted anything about <strong><a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/category/cambodia/learning-khmer-language/">learning Khmer language</a></strong>. I was too busy shopping for <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&amp;catalog=Online&amp;category=SurgeProtectors">surge protectors</a>. Lol. Just kidding. Life just happened and I must also admit to being so lazy to learn more of the language. I think my daughter is making a lot more progress that I am. The difference is that she has a more diligent teacher in school and she is so eager to learn, while me, I think hubby and I have gotten so used to speaking English or Filipino with each other that we tend to lose the momentum when it comes to him teaching me Khmer. Sigh.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, there are moments when I encounter a Khmer word I don&#8217;t understand or I want to express myself in Khmer but I don&#8217;t have the word for it so what I do now is just write it down and once he&#8217;s not too busy I ask him to make the translations for me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;ve been having a hard time to learn &#8211; days-weeks-months-year. I think this would come in handy when you&#8217;re giving instructions or you are setting a date etc..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Calendar Image" src="http://62.imagebam.com/download/Wg-6qpCeSMF7h4CS1IoL5w/17263/172625743/52490874q55x1cy.jpg" alt="Calendar Image" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Note that these are not actual Khmer words but just approximate English sound equivalents to how the actual Khmer word sounds.</strong> As usual Khmer phrases for days and months start with the &#8216;base&#8217; or &#8216;root&#8217; words. And here they are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Year</strong> &#8211; <em>Chan&#8217;am</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Month</strong> &#8211; <em>Khai</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Week</strong> &#8211; <em>Sup&#8217;ada (formal) or A&#8217;tat (spoken)</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Day</strong> &#8211; <em>T&#8217;ngai</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-5408"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8216;Days&#8217; in Khmer</span>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Monday</strong> &#8211; <em>T&#8217;ngai Chan</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tuesday</strong> -<em> T&#8217;ngai Angkea</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wednesday</strong> -<em> T&#8217;ngai Po&#8217;ot</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thursday</strong> -<em> T&#8217;ngai Prohoa</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Friday</strong> &#8211; <em>T&#8217;ngai Sok</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Saturday</strong> &#8211; <em>T&#8217;ngai Sau</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sunday</strong> &#8211; <em>T&#8217;ngai A&#8217;tat</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8216;Months&#8217; in Khmer:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>January &#8211; </strong><em>Khai Makara</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>February &#8211; </strong><em>Khai Kumphea</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>March </strong><strong> </strong><strong>-</strong> <em>Khai Mea Neah</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>April </strong><strong> - </strong><em>Khai May Sa&#8217;a</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>May </strong><strong> - </strong><em>Khai U&#8217; Saphea</em></p>
<p><strong>June</strong>  - <em>Khai Mee-to-nah</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Bopha Titanic Restaurant along Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh is popular with the tourist crowd. And its not really that surprising, it has great location &#8211; riverside, extensive menu (Khmer, Thai, and western fares) and the place is spacious.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Bopha Titanic Restaurant Phnom Penh Cambodia" src="http://32.imagebam.com/download/QdrwZHcpI0CX5-jNkCKRHg/17181/171809608/bopha%20titanic.jpg" alt="Bopha Titanic Restaurant Phnom Penh Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We love going there for Khmer food, and just to relax and take in the river breeze. Hubby and I both like Khmer and Thai food, while the kiddo prefers pastas and we get all of this in one place. We also love the ambiance, the attentive staff and of course, the food is yummy. Prices are mid-range.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Bopha Titanic Restaurant Phnom Penh Cambodia" src="http://24.imagebam.com/download/boNXiwZBqxYPVx5C1nyUNg/17181/171809644/bopha%20titanic1.jpg" alt="Bopha Titanic Restaurant Phnom Penh Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s what we had last time we went there. Khmer Seafood Ma-am Stew- I can&#8217;t get enough of this! Its sooo delicious and you&#8217;d need unlimited servings of rice with this one. They serve this with lots of veggies to tame the strong salty flavor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">

</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We also had seafood glass noodles which was also great but my camera&#8217;s battery died on me so no photos of that..The kiddo as usual ordered her Pasta Bolognese with Garlic Bread. Yum. And the serving is huge.</p>

</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m sooo looking forward to going back there again. Soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve been waiting for quite sometime already, after the <strong><a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/philippines/cambodia-philippines-finally-signs-air-flight-deal/">two countries have signed flight deals since 2009</a></strong>!  Direct flights from the Philippines to Cambodia is finally here! Philippine budget carrier Cebu Pacific Air will commence flights from <strong>Manila-Siem Reap</strong> and vice versa from April 19, 2012!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Cebu Pacific Flies Direct Manila-Siem Reap Cambodia" src="http://39.imagebam.com/download/VrbgjDuGe8PZvLisgSGHcQ/17167/171669384/405913_310662368980045_100352916677659_894215_1934958178_n.jpg" alt="Cebu Pacific Flies Direct Manila-Siem Reap Cambodia" width="400" height="350" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Visiting Angkor Wat is now much easier and much much cheaper for Pinoy folks. And what&#8217;s even better is that Cebu Pacific Air is currently holding a seat sale till January 29, 2012, so hurry and grab your really cheap fares on this seat sale. I think booking for Cambodia flights commences tomorrow, January 27th @ <span style="color: #008000;"><strong><a href="http://cebupacificair.com">Cebu Pacific Air</a></strong></span>. You can also check out <span style="color: #008000;"><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cebupacificair">Cebu Pacific&#8217;s Facebook Page</a></strong></span> for promo updates.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Cebu Pacific Air Flies Direct  Manila to Siem Reap Cambodia" src="http://40.imagebam.com/download/8OtM3aovt0yW07TTTPhiKw/17167/171669402/430168_310661085646840_100352916677659_894214_1058269418_n.jpg" alt="Cebu Pacific Air Flies Direct  Manila to Siem Reap Cambodia" width="400" height="350" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve checked the schedules and for now the airline is flying to Siem Reap on Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday. Flight times would 19:50  - 21:30 for Manila-Siem Reap and 22:30 &#8211; 02:10 for Siem Reap-Manila. That&#8217;s about 2 hrs and 40 mins of flying, (Cambodia being 1 hr behind Manila time)!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This news made my day. Lol. I&#8217;ve been wishing for this to happen since&#8230; well ever since. And now if only Cebu Pacific flies to direct to Phnom Penh too. I know, tourists are mostly after Angkor Wat in Siem Reap but still, majority of Filipino expats reside here and Phnom Penh is increasingly getting a part  in the tourist trail..so Cebu Pacific, pretty please add Phnom Penh to your destinations soon..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Hey, how was your Chinese New Year celebrations? Ours was really fun and merry with lots of food involved. Lol. Khmer-Chinese really celebrate the lunar new year with much fervor. Even local Khmers are now joining in with the festivities! While this is not an official holiday, well, people do take a break. Lots of shops and businesses are closed for three days. So the cities empty out and a lot of people go to provinces to just relax and have a bit of downtime.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Red Chinese Lanterns" src="http://30.imagebam.com/download/6cFyGOEn102hde3hni1bqQ/17167/171665834/chinese%20lanterns.jpg" alt="Red Chinese Lanterns" width="400" height="550" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Chinese lanterns @ Koh Pich (Diamond Island) Park</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for us, we observed the usual Chinese rituals, offering food, incense and prayers to departed ancestors. Then the next few days were spent eating, playing cards, spending time with the whole clan and it was capped with a road trip.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, I&#8217;m pretty much tired but revved up. I feel like I&#8217;m all in good mood and hearing good music. I guess that little break has done wonders to my mind set.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The food and celebration though has wreaked havoc on my diet so I started today doing vigorous high impact aerobic exercises. I feel really good afterwards and its like my own body <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/metronomes">metronomes</a> are all in tune and working! And the good news is that when I checked the weighing scale..I didn&#8217;t gain any weight. Uh, thank God for healthy Chinese food and the workouts. Lol.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Were lucky our Khmer neighbors are foodies too. They love doing cook outs during weekends and inviting us too. Last week was really interesting coz they were making <strong><a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/cambodia/food-trip-friday-banh-chao/">Banh Chao</a> </strong>(Banh Xeo in Vietnamese). This is a Vietnamese dish of rice flour crepes with assorted fillings. Khmers have adopted this dish and their version is one of my favorite Cambodian foods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Khmer version has some additions like shredded coconut, flaked crabs and more assortment of greens to be eaten with it. The sauce is also slightly more &#8216;peanut-y&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Banh Chao" src="http://24.imagebam.com/download/nDGL04Fb0vh2EnfMqy82ig/17072/170710992/banh%20chao1.jpg" alt="http://24.imagebam.com/download/nDGL04Fb0vh2EnfMqy82ig/17072/170710992/banh%20chao1.jpg" width="550" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I took some pics while they were cooking&#8230;They usually cook this over charcoal and it smells heavenly. And it was super yummy. And I ate more than three servings lol. They must think I haven&#8217; t eaten for weeks but it was that good.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Banh Chao" src="http://49.imagebam.com/download/IIEHrfFeO-mWq3G14hpRhw/17072/170711066/banh%20chao2.jpg" alt="Banh Chao" width="550" height="400" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Prey Veng is a Cambodian province not usually mentioned in tourist guides, and for some reason places like these appeal more to me. So when my sister-in-law suggested we go there, visit some family friends and also visit Wat Vihear Sour, a well known pagoda, I was all set to tag along. We also heard that in this pagoda, there is one temple that is home to a deity, said to be generous in granting wishes of good luck, wealth and specially fertility. I think this is one of the reasons why my in-laws wanted to make the trip. My younger brother-in-law and his wife have been trying for a baby for some years already and now they wanted to make an offering in that pagoda and ask for help to make their wish come true.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When I heard about this I was mighty curious. I&#8217;m not Buddhist but that doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t try to learn more or understand more of their beliefs. I always try to keep an open mind about these things and who knows if your wish can be granted. We&#8217;ve also been talking about having a second child, with the kiddo very eager to wear her little <a href="http://www.marcusuniforms.com">nurse uniform</a> and be a &#8216;baby sitter&#8217;. Lol. So it wouldn&#8217;t hurt if we pray for one while we are there. And besides this reason, drives to Cambodian provinces is always delightful for me. You never know what you&#8217;ll see or encounter, aside from the lush, almost undisturbed countryside.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Road Trip To Prey Veng Cambodia" src="http://38.imagebam.com/download/GImk82klP-dwK8hBOSdtLw/17054/170537132/prey%20veng1.jpg" alt="Road Trip To Prey Veng Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We left about 9 am and the drive was really pleasant. Just under 2 hrs with the roads all new and paved. To say that it was a picturesque drive would be an understatement. Most of  the places around Phnom Penh are vast and unpopulated. Most are farmlands. Which makes me realize that Cambodia really has a smaller population compared to other places or perhaps majority are just concentrated on urban areas.  Anyway, I&#8217;ll let the pics tell my story now&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" src="http://48.imagebam.com/download/MAG6PhxXJ_4MtN22CrYgyA/17054/170537249/prey%20veng1-wat%20vihear%20sour.jpg" alt="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wat Vihear Sour has this huge &#8216;lake&#8217;..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wat Vihear Sour, Prey Veng Cambodia" src="http://24.imagebam.com/download/yBPsj2XftsRbEJZB1T1QVw/17054/170537347/prey%20veng2-wat%20vihear%20sour.jpg" alt="Wat Vihear Sour, Prey Veng Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This pagoda complex is huge and has several temples you can offer prayers and receive blessings. One can offer food, flowers, incense. In this pagoda you can also get some blessed water and wash your face with it for good luck.</p>
<p><span id="more-5384"></span></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" src="http://63.imagebam.com/download/H47CkYFIERyWqBw27KKy5w/17054/170537449/prey%20veng3-wat%20vihear%20sour.jpg" alt="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" src="http://45.imagebam.com/download/sIVDUMummlt99b4OyBdPiw/17054/170537569/prey%20veng4-wat%20vihear%20sour.jpg" alt="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A small temple located a few hundred meters from the big main temple is where the fertility deity is&#8230;Here you can make offerings, then a group of clergymen called <em>a&#8217;chaa </em>will pray with you. If you are wishing for a child, the a&#8217;chaa will bless a small lotus flower and put in the swollen belly of the deity and the girl will &#8216;pick&#8217; it out of her. The couple would then wipe blessed water on their abdomen, then also drink three times. You will then be given the lotus flower to bring home and once you are home, to soak it in water and take a sip three times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" src="http://62.imagebam.com/download/LQeVBhL2uWVewBKrB-dRZw/17054/170537621/prey%20veng5-wat%20vihear%20sour.jpg" alt="Wat Vihear Sour Prey Veng Cambodia" width="550" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can also ask for luck for business etc, by offering any bill and putting it inside the deity&#8217;s bag. Then after praying for a short while you can get back the bill and keep it for luck. It&#8217;s a pretty interesting ritual to see and I do feel privileged to see, experience and be a part of this. This is a part of Cambodia culture one doesn&#8217;t easily experience from your usual tourist places..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Everybody (well, almost everybody that is, hehe) is in a frenzy. The streets are getting clogged, the markets are getting more jampacked (if they could get more jampacked) and I keep seeing those pretty red lanterns on a lot of houses and shops. Well, Cambodia is celebrating along with Chinese! The Chinese New Year is one of the biggest festive events here in Cambodia, and while its not an official holiday, the rest of the Khmers are all celebrating this. I think this comes second to Khmer New Year in terms of  their celebratory fervor. So now, we&#8217;re all getting ready to usher in the year of the dragon!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Happy Chinese New Year Wallpaper" src="http://62.imagebam.com/download/j7Yqa7tpmelpISGlvX3lHQ/17054/170530443/Happy%20New%20Chinese%20Year%202012%20Wallpaper%20%281%29.jpg" alt="Happy Chinese New Year Wallpaper" width="550" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for me, I&#8217;m leaving all the cooking to my mother-in-law. Hahaha. I&#8217;m a lucky, lucky girl!  So it&#8217;ll all just be eating, offerings, leisure time for the weekend. On another note, I dread the havoc the holidays will wreak on my diet. I guess it&#8217;s time to bring out the <a href="http://www.sydneyscloset.com/">plus size dresses</a> or maybe I should be doing more intense exercises now to counter the effect of too much eating? Or maybe I should just stick to this particular favorite of mine&#8230;sesame seed snacks! Hahaha.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Sesame Seed Crackers" src="http://63.imagebam.com/download/WCSvg1QmmbfhJbqBg1QmjQ/17054/170530419/sesame%20seeds%20snacks.jpg" alt="Sesame Seed Crackers" width="450" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Enough of my blabbing. I just wanna wish everyone, good health and wealth for the coming new year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I love walking around the markets here in Phnom Penh. It&#8217;s really a sight to be seen. A total smorgasbord of sights, scenes, colors, smells and whatnots. One of my favorite sections would be the home souvenir sections and this one caught my eye. Lamps in various shapes and sizes and all in bold eye-catching colors.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">One should really stop wondering why my efforts to lose weight seems to be futile. Here&#8217;s one of the reasons: Ice Cream! We love it and lately we&#8217;ve been so into Swensen&#8217;s Ice Cream cakes. It&#8217;s a whole new way to enjoy ice cream eh? But the added calories with those creams and toppings&#8230;Oh well. I always say, I&#8217;ll just exercise more. Heh.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/foodtripfriday/swensens-vanilla-brownies.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic1237" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/1237__550x500_swensens-vanilla-brownies.jpg" alt="swensens-vanilla-brownies" title="swensens-vanilla-brownies" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vanilla Brownies: vanilla ice cream on top of chiffon cake. Then topped with cream icing, chocolate shavings, cherries and brownie chunks. How&#8217;s that for sugar rush?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/foodtripfriday/swensens-vanilla-brownies2.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic1238" >

</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And oh, all their cakes have a &#8216;happy birthday&#8217; thingie on top. But it was nobody&#8217;s birthday, we were just craving for some ice cream. Hehe..You gotta love how they pack their cakes. It includes ice on both sides of the cake box, then they give out free paper plates, plastic spoons, plastic cake cutter and candles. And since we had those free candles what else could we do but light it up and take turns blowing it out. Lol.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It ain&#8217;t durian season yet, but its coming up soon in a few more months. I&#8217;m not a big durian eater, I guess the pungent smell defeats me lol. but durian flavored food I could eat. The taste is actually delicious if its without the smell. Cambodia has a lot of durian farms and Khmers have great fondness for this fruit. My Khmer nieces even describes this as better than &#8216;karem&#8217; or ice cream.</p>

</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When its in season, you can see loads and loads of it on street fruit stands and its quite easy to locate them. Just give a little sniff and follow where the durian smell leads you to.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I haven&#8217;t really posted much about Cambodia&#8217;s dark painful past. But that&#8217;s not to say its not there. Anybody who has been here should know what this country has been through. The reason though I haven&#8217;t posted much about it is that, I find it too dark and depresses me. My Khmer husband also is not very keen on rehashing what has happened but instead just remember it in solitude.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;ve been to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum a few of times to show friends around but only on one occasion did I venture inside and actually have a look at the detailed horrors inside. If you want to have a glimpse at how the Khmers suffered during Khmer Rouge this museum is a must visit. I remember I left the place feeling out of sorts and my heart was pounding and a million questions running through my mind foremost would be, Why people would be as cruel to other people? I didn&#8217;t take that much photos inside but this one above sticks to me for some reason. It&#8217;s sad, gut-wrenching.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;m posting it today for Cambodia Snapshots coz January 7, Cambodians are celebrating their Victory Day to commemorate the end of Khmer Rouge.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s one of our favorite foodie deals here in Phnom Penh. We always give ourselves a pizza treat every week and this is not hard to do since <strong><a href="http://pizzaworlds.com">Pizza World</a></strong> Phnom Penh has some really great deal. Buy one medium/large pizza and get 1 free! So two large pizzas would just cost about $11+. A sublime deal for pizza gluttons like us, hahaha! This is not available for delivery though. You have to be at their store, but you can eat your pizza there or take it out. Right now they have this promo every Friday ( I wonder if they still have it on Tuesdays too?) so Phnom Penhois head over there for some pizza love. Be prepared to wait your turn though.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s what we had for last week..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Meat Lovers Pizza</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">

</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">+ 1 Seafood Pizza (the kiddo&#8217;s fave and the only pizza she eats. Lol. She ate almost half of this!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I really should be doing this regularly. I know some friends and a small group of readers who are movie buffs and I&#8217;ll be posting &#8216;what&#8217;s showing&#8217; feature regularly from now on. If you&#8217;re looking for some weekend and New Year entertainment, check out <strong><a href="http://www.legend-cinemas.com/">Legend Cinemas</a></strong> (City Mall) and they are showing a bunch of cool movies at this time. The latest in the line up is Tom Cruise&#8217;s Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.</p>
<p><a href="http://legend-cinemas.com/"><img class="aligncenter" title="Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol at Legend Cinema Phnom Penh" src="http://51.imagebam.com/download/Vnhj85ezsb5QXxmtAsbSDA/16727/167267180/DoubleTruck_BW.jpg" alt="Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol at Legend Cinema Phnom Penh" width="500" height="400" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Huge fan of Tom Cruise, <em>I am <strong>not</strong></em> so I was actually dilly dallying about watching the advance screening of his movie, but I was surprised that I really enjoyed the movie (in fact I think its the only MI film I actually enjoyed). It was fast paced, lots of fantastic action sequence, a cool enough plot and of course Simon Pegg&#8217;s witty dialogue was in its favor. I also must admit to developing a size-able crush on Jeremy Renner. I didn&#8217;t know this guy could be funny, but he is. And he does have that really soulful looking eyes. Ha! But that&#8217;s another story lol and I know I kinda have it bad.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Two Tuesday&#8217;s ago, the <strong><a href="http://queenofwishfulshrinking.com">Queen of Wishful Shrinking</a></strong> and I tried out The Steak Kitchen @ 5th Level Sovanna Mall, Phnom Penh. The food was okay, really nothing to write home about. We had combo meat and chicken steak platters that time. It was not bad, just on the average scale. The great thing was the serving (it was huge!),the price was low considering the heaps of food you&#8217;ll be getting and the panoramic view of this side of Phnom Penh is a definite plus to this resto. Anyway, I&#8217;ll do a full review of that lunch on another blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last weekend, Chinks and I decided to give their fish a try. You know after the Christmas parties and the food mostly meat and greasy, I was really wanting to eat fish. Preferably grilled. So off we went to The Steak Kitchen. And we ordered this:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/foodtripfriday/thesteakkitchen-seafood-crumbed.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic1232" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/1232__550x500_thesteakkitchen-seafood-crumbed.jpg" alt="thesteakkitchen-seafood-crumbed" title="thesteakkitchen-seafood-crumbed" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Crumbed Seafood Platter &#8211; $4.90 &#8211; this was really good. Fish, Prawns and Scallops. The kiddo loved it soo much she managed to finish it all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/foodtripfriday/thesteakkitchen-grilled-fish-fillet.jpg" title="" class="shutterset_singlepic1231" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/1231__550x500_thesteakkitchen-grilled-fish-fillet.jpg" alt="thesteakkitchen-grilled-fish-fillet" title="thesteakkitchen-grilled-fish-fillet" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Grille Fish Fillet &#8211; $3.50 &#8211; Grilled just the way I like it. This was served with coleslaw and a plateful of french fries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hmm, great value for money. Would try out other combo&#8217;s next.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Khmers have some really filling, yummy and cheap street snacks. Here&#8217;s one I&#8217;ve taken a liking to. Banana wrapped with sticky rice and some have bits of grated coconut, then wrapped in banana leaves then grilled. It&#8217;s not sweet and specially good when its still hot. It doesn&#8217;t look that appetizing at first glance and truth is I&#8217;ve passed on trying this for sometime mainly because it didn&#8217;t look too appealing to me. It took Hi-ace to persuade me to give it a bite, and I surprisingly liked it. I&#8217;m not big on too sweet snacks so maybe that&#8217;s the reason why.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Khmer Street Snack: Rice Wrapped Grilled Bananas" src="http://52.imagebam.com/download/4O8TI0fLv0YEa9FGptjMCg/16677/166766901/banana%20rice%20cake.jpg" alt="Khmer Street Snack: Rice Wrapped Grilled Bananas" width="500" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now I haven&#8217;t taken on <a href="http://www.healthcarejobsite.com/jobsearch/healthcare/technologists-technicians/default.asp?job=dietetic+technician">Dietetic Technician Jobs</a>, but I can guess this one&#8217;s a lot healthier than eating junk food. And what I love about it is that its soo filling. And I love grabbing it when I&#8217;m really hungry. Perhaps its all because of that rice. Lol. But its like and instant carbo boost. The inside looks like the Pinoy version of <em>suman</em> but that&#8217;s where the similarity ends.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Khmer Street Snack: Rice Wrapped Grilled Bananas" src="http://33.imagebam.com/download/TP88tTbmCXVh468ISn2oRQ/16677/166766929/banana%20rice%20cake2.jpg" alt="Khmer Street Snack: Rice Wrapped Grilled Bananas" width="500" height="400" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Khmer Street Snack: Rice Wrapped Grilled Bananas" src="http://47.imagebam.com/download/5ExcGL14lUGmqbOaG13WGA/16677/166766950/banana%20rice%20cake3.jpg" alt="Khmer Street Snack: Rice Wrapped Grilled Bananas" width="500" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can find this yummy snack in a lot of street corners or in the markets and it sells for something like 1000 Riels..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">This is our 4th Christmas celebrated here in Phnom Penh. And I kinda like the relaxing, quiet pace we have adapted when it comes to celebrating the holidays. Of course, Christmas in the Philippines (home for me!) would always be close to my heart and I do miss it. But there&#8217;s much I like about celebrating here. After all, Chinks and Hi-ace are with me. Also my sister is with us. Now if, only my mom and brother could fly over here for Christmas next year, then that would make me feel like I&#8217;ve won the lottery a hundred times over.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here, Christmas is almost a non-event. It&#8217;s not a holiday, although I know some Khmers, particularly business establishments have started celebrating Christmas mainly because of the presence of a lot of expats here and you know the &#8216;commercial&#8217; side of Christmas is too great to pass up. But its nice to see something a little more festive in malls etc. And its also not that hard to buy pressies and decors now compared to the past years. But its still quiet compared to other places, which I&#8217;ve learned to like because now I appreciate what Christmas is all about. We also now have simpler celebrations and I&#8217;m not in a frenzy. When we were living in Manila, I would always just about go crazy during the holidays. The traffic jams, packed and crowded malls, parties here and there. Well, after the holidays there I would feel like I&#8217;m in dire need of being checked in a <a href="http://www.malibuhorizon.com/drug-rehab-treatment-centers.aspx">drug rehab treatment centers</a>! Like a hurricane just passed by..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now,  our Christmas would just be me cooking a bit,  saying prayers, mass, exchanging gifts, visiting close friends and just spending time with my daughter and husband. I love it this way now. And the morning after Christmas, I still have some energy. Lol. One thing I do miss  - <em>simbang gabi</em>. And of course, <em>puto bumbong</em>. Maybe we&#8217;ll have our Christmas next year in Philippines.. Hopefully our schedules would permit this, if not maybe my mom could join us?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, the weather here is really fab. Cool and dry. Sun still comes up but I find the heat very mild and tolerable so I&#8217;m having fun time jogging in the parks. I wish this temp would last a bit longer.  Anyway, since its cold and were weird we decided to treat ourselves to some ice cream cake. Hahaha. Yes, we love eating ice cream when its cold. My daughter said its to check if its possible to have &#8216;brain freeze&#8217;. In any case, this one from Swensens was really nutty good. Comfort food. <img src='http://pinaywifespeaks.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I have always been partial to Chinese cuisine. I could eat dimsum/noodles all day. And I&#8217;m not kidding you. Thankfully, Phnom Penh has its share of restaurants offering dimsum on their menus. We&#8217;ve tried out several places near Central Market and recently we have discovered another dimsum place near Olympic Market. I&#8217;ve been passing by this restaurant called DM Dimsum Restaurant for some months already but it was only  last week that I got to try it out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We attended the media screening for Puss in Boots at Legend Cinema in City Mall and afterwards, Sreisaat and I can&#8217;t quite make up our mind about where to grab our lunch. Then I remembered that this place was just a few minutes walk from City Mall so we tried it..</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">And had a yummy whale of a time. And no we did not go binge eating. Not really. Hahaha. {Defensive much!} But it was tempting. They serve unlimited rice!?#@</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Hey. I&#8217;ve been out and about so I didn&#8217;t have much time to blog. It&#8217;s almost Christmas but I&#8217;m not really feeling the season since Cambodia is not really much into it. But the breeze and the weather is just great. Very cool and dry. I could just spend days just lazing around, drinking my espresso and doing nothing. I wish. Lol.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But we&#8217;ve been taking advantage of the cool weather to do our bit of gallivanting. For the past three weekends, we&#8217;ve been out and about. Our Saturdays usually start with jogging at the parks, drive around and end up having lunch somewhere. Just last week we discovered a great lunch place popular with Khmers. The one with hammocks, raised platforms and nipa huts. We had a hearty Khmer lunch and napped on hammocks. I keep thinking this is what life is about. Heh.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Cambodia Countryside" src="http://36.imagebam.com/download/ghT-rNDp7E-dRGcpq7wxLg/16465/164642835/countryside1.jpg" alt="Cambodia Countryside" width="500" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another weekend we visited a farm belong to Hi-ace&#8217;s friend. It was a totally lazy day with us just eating non-stop, lazing around in floating huts like this and trying our best to catch some fish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Cambodia Countryside" src="http://53.imagebam.com/download/0Jgb6cEWpWBUp9X-A2jTPw/16465/164642873/countryside2.jpg" alt="Cambodia Countryside" width="550" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sigh. This is one of the best things I love about living in Cambodia. I really get to stop, relax and have  a look around. And what I see, I really really like.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next week is back to reality for me. I&#8217;m in an &#8216;almost panic mode&#8217; now coz I haven&#8217;t really done any planning for Christmas and New Years. We were supposed to go to some beach for New Year&#8217;s Eve but that would cancelled since most hotels we want are now fully booked. We&#8217;ll probably be having a party with family and friends instead. So now I&#8217;m on hunt for pressies, so <a href="http://www.peterglenn.com/brand/spyder/jackets">spyder jackets</a> here I come! And thankfully, markets and malls here are not as crowded as in Manila. My friend tells me malls in Manila are danger zones now. I know too well how the Christmas rush there goes.</p>
