Done with our half day tour, we ask our guide to drop us off at Night Market area, he dropped us at Sivutha boulevard and showed us the street of the first night market. There are lots of night market there, we can just choose, even the old market shops closes at night too, usually around 9.30 - 10.00 PM

Had a good time looking around, we even had our eyes on an Apsara painting which we wanted to come back to but didn't because we had no time and regretted until now for not buying it. I bought Cambodian silk scarfs, but made by machine which cost USD 10 for 5 pieces and t-shirts costing USD 3 each.

Tired walking around, we were hungry and decided to have dinner at pub street for tonight. After looking around for the restaurant choices, we chose the Cambodian Soup Restaurant. I was tempted to try their Khmer BBQ, but opted the Khmer soup instead and it was a wise decision, after a long day walk having soup that night really restore our strength back. While waiting for our food we could hear traditional music which we assumed coming from the next door, finally we found out it came from upstairs at "Temple club" where they held the traditional Apsara dance for free.

At first I was a bit hesitant to have our dinner here since the front person to greet the guest was not friendly, she didn't invite us in nor smile or even make friendly gesture while we were looking at their menus which was provided in front of the restaurant. But thankfully our table waiter was very friendly and helpful, though he had to attend other tables he still manage to small talk with us, he helped us cooking the soup since we were not sure how to do.

| Khmer Soup - delicious!!! |
The Khmer soup is just like suki and it taste delicious, they gave us a pot of beef (from shreded beef and meatballs) and vegetable broth, then there are plates of vegetables, mushroom, noodle, dried tofu skin, noodle and beef slices topped with egg yolk. Turns out we have to mix the egg yolk with the beef slices, then put them into the pot along with the others. The Khmer soup is a dish for 2 people, so we just ordered this and prepare to order others later if we are still hungry, turns out we even can't finish to cook all the ingredients because we were just too full, I'm sure the dish could be for 3 people.
We were very satisfied with our dinner and it cost USD 13 for the Khmer soup and 1 big bottle mineral water to share.
Oh by the way, most of the water available there are osmosis water, even the compliment water bottle in our hotel is osmosis water. Finally we found a mini market in Sivutha boulevard, they have Nestle mineral water available, we bought 2 small bottle and 1 big bottle which cost USD 3, it was quite costly to compare Nestle mineral water we usually bought in Jakarta.
