During my last few days in Cambodia the family and I have been eating lots of delicious food and also doing a bit of shopping.
First, Idli Sambar 🍛
One of our favorite breakfast destinations in Phnom Penh is the Dosa Corner, one of only a handful of Indian restaurants offering southern Indian breakfast dishes like dosa, idli, vada and uttapam. Monkey-B and I like the place a little more than Srey-Yuu and Pov, who would prefer noodles or rice porridge for breakfast. The idlis are pre-made, so if you're really hungry and want something to eat while waiting the tempting dosa you saw in the thumbnail, it's best to order idli sambar and pass it back and forth until the other dishes arrive.
Free Wi-Fi & A/C 🛏️
On my last few days in Phnom Penh I've been hugging the girls as much as possible and allowing them to be a little lazier than normal, mostly due to the free air conditioning and wifi. Cambodia has been under a heat wave for many weeks, and even 15 minutes on the streets completely soaks clothing in sweat. For this reason we've just been eating and being lazy in the hotel room, watching lots of movies and I've been downloading several to prepare for my long flight to the USA.
🧣 Krama & Shirt Shopping👕
When I visit the USA I usually try to fill my luggage with things from Cambodia that I can sell, hopefully offsetting my travel costs. For this trip I'm taking two pieces of luggage filled with kramas, the traditional Khmer multipurpose sarong/scarf/shop rag/tow strap. I am able to get large sarong-sized kramas for $1.25 on wholesale and often can sell them for $15 to $25 in the USA. I also purchased 50 random tourist t-shirts for $1.50 to $2, and hope to sell them for at least $15 in the USA.
In the above photo you can see the stacks and stacks of kramas the seller piled up for us to sort through and choose. Occasionally there are small imperfections, so it's quite time-consuming to unfold and inspect each one, but a necessary job I've learned to do very quickly through the years. This is my fourth time to fill suitcases with wholesale kramas bound for the USA, so I'm basically a pro at this point, even able to eyeball my 23kg luggage allowance to within 2kgs of accuracy. Alright, that's all for now, time to finish packing, off to the airport in 4 hours, stay tuned.......
