7 Photos / 7 Days (Singapore)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- I don’t like Singapore. That being said, my most recent trip had me warming to the old girl a bit. Perhaps it was just a much needed breather from life in dusty old Phnom Penh, or the slight delirium brought on by the 30,000 satay I consumed, […]
Barn Barn – Delicious Singapore Hawker Style Food in Phnom Penh
So I know where I’ll be eating lunch for the next year or so. There are plenty of places to get good food around the Russian Market area where we work – but non more delicious, cheaper or unassuming than Hainan chicken joint Barn Barn. This little off the street eatery serves Singapore style hawker […]
Around Our Neighbourhood – Toul Tom Poung
We live near Psar Toul Tom Poung – other wise known as the Russian Market. Most westerners (or whiteys or whatever you want to call the 20,000 expats living in Phnom Penh) seem to live in the BKK area – at least that’s where most of the NGO workers seem to reside. The riverfront is […]
Breakfast Oasis at Botanico Gastrobar
It’s definitely time I posted about Botanico Gastrobar – I’ve made my way through most of their breakfast menu over the last couple of months. And its became a regular stop on “Ryan and Asha’s tour of Phnom Penh” for most of our recent visitors. Behind door #9b on Street 29 (near Sihanouk boulevard – blink […]
57 Seconds (Phnom Penh)
We’re working on a new little project called 57 Seconds. We’ll be filming a series of 57 second snippets from around the globe- just enough to capture the smell the smog, the taste the dust or the feeling of sun on your face. This is the first. This is Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 57 Seconds (Phnom […]
Restaurant Review: Taqueria Corona – Tasty Mexican Where You Least Expect It
I would never have thought good Mexican food exists in Phnom Penh. But it does – at Taqueria Corona. We had tried other Mexican restaurants in Cambodia, and had given up the idea of finding a good local place to run to when the desire for cold beers and tacos hit us. But then we […]
Travel Video: Cambodia – A Few Seconds a Day
After Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, we finally arrived in Cambodia – the last country on our itinerary and the place were we were hoping to find jobs and settle down for a year or two. We loved Cambodia almost immediately. Before settling in to Phnom Penh and looking for work, we wanted to […]
Restaurant Review: Yumi Brings Trendy Japanese Food to Phnom Penh
Yumi is a trendy little Japanese restaurant down a dark street in Phnom Penh’s expat filled suburb of BKK1. Yumi’s appearance belies its reputation – it appears to be a simple Japanese styled bar serving bar food, but don’t be fooled, the food is fantastic. With a small menu of clever, well executed, crowd […]

Top Bangkok Shopping Spots 1) Chatuchack Weekend Market Be warned- this is one mother of a market. It’s home to over 15,000 stalls and spread out across […]
Living in Phnom Penh
Living in Phnom Penh As soon as we arrived we knew that living in Phnom Penh was something we wanted to do. After 6 months, 6 countries and more than 50 hotels/guesthouses, it felt great to arrive somewhere and know we would not be packing up again in a day or so. Backpacks were emptied, […]
One Week in Bangkok – Travel Video
Despite a love affair with Bangkok, we have decided to live in Cambodia – Asha has got a good job, we have found a great apartment and we really love Phnom Penh. We needed to do a Visa run – leaving Cambodia so that we could re-enter with business/NGO visas. What better excuse to spend […]
