The Flat Defeat of Siam ~ Siem Reap, Cambodia Day 5 of 5

Woke up very late that day and missed our free breakfast. Checked out at the hotel, took some pictures

and told them we'll just leave our bags to grab something to eat and do some late shopping at Pub Street.

Restaurants and Bars are opened at the morning but some of the markets are closed.

There are lots of restaurants you could choose from ( Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, European Restaurants etc.) but we decided to eat some authentic Indian food. We saw a restaurant that had Indian customers eating with their hands so we decided to check out the place ( after following around some Indian Nationals checking out the menu of every Indian restaurant they saw) 

Lunch: Recommendation ~ The Indian : South and North quality Indian cuisine ~ Own by Indian, Run by Indian, Chef from India

Legend: 

Red circle: The Indian Restaurant

Blue X-mark: Their sister restaurant that also serves authentic Indian dishes located at Alley West

Cost of our lunch: $16 - $ 18

* Forgot what the names of the dishes were but all of them were beyond the word delicious. If you don't know what to order, ask the owner *

The owner was really nice.  Asked us how the food was. Taught us that you had to mix all the curry dishes on your rice before eating it. Took a picture with him using the Instax camera and gave them a copy of it. 

I tried eating it with my hands but it was so messy I decided to use the fork and spoon.

After one of the most delicious meal we ever had, we decided to explore the rest of the Pub Street:

Remember this Map? ( same map I showed you finding your way to an authentic Happy Pizza~ POST: Day 2 of 5)

So from The Indian restaurant, we walked going to Old Market crossing a Foot Bridge. . . .

to Art Center Market

Things we bought there:
1. Dress $ 4 ( original price $8)
2. Sling bag shaped like an elephant - $2

Decided to wear the dress UA bought for me and took some pictures on how Pub Street looked like in day time. 

Corn beef Sandwich ( not recommended, flies all over the place)

..... then went to Blue Pumpkin for some nice / weird ice cream

We ordered: - both of them cost $ 3 per scoop
1. 4 spices ice cream  
2. Cookies and cream


UA's ice cream was weird but he claimed it was delicious. When I tasted it, I could taste the ginger on his ice cream ( thank God my ice cream was delicious)

Sat for a while and talked about our whole experience while UA checking out a guy with beard and day dreamed he had one.

Went back to the hotel to dropped off the things we bought and decided to explore the National Road just outside the hotel.

The " fried rice" place

Last taste of UA's favorite-in-the-whole-world "Dragon fruit shake"

Saw this woman selling some kind of pancakes that had coconut meat on it.

Cost: 300 Cambodian Reals ( 4,000 reals = $1, do your Math)

Across the road of these food stalls

Existing Temple just beside this road ~

On our way back to the hotel, we decided to eat Cambodian Noodles for early dinner and their weird Halo-Halo ( fruit mix with milk) as the dessert. It was delicious but the thing that made it weird was it had slices of squash on it and some kind of a vegetable and beans.

Cost: 600 Cambodian Reals

The thing that I liked about the accommodation of the Kool Hotel was that even if we already checked out, they still gave us a minty towel upon arriving to freshen up.

We decided to use the outside comfort room of the hotel to freshen up more and I decided to change to the dress I was wearing before.

Bid our goodbyes and Thank you's to the staffs of the Hotel before going to the airport.

Tuktuk ride to the airport: $ 6

Arrived at the airport around 8 in the evening because we thought that the ticket going to Manila that said, "10:30pm" was in Siem Reap time but it wasn't.

So we just stayed at the airport for the rest of the evening taking some pictures, looking for more things to buy ( chocolates, food, souvenirs at the airport was times 5 the original price)

till UA fell asleep with this position.









Arrival Time at Manila, Philippines~ 2:00am

Stayed at Manila for 3 days then booked a flight for Dumaguete via Philippine Airlines (free baggage of 10 kgs. goes with your purchased ticket)
