Cambodia trip 1

after the Japan trip, travelled to Cambodia, Siem Reap with my room-mate Cindy, and my dear~ 
we booked the ticket during the promotion by AirAsia.. each person cost RM200+ for the flight ticket.. 
as i already mentioned it was a promotion fair, so we booked it at midnight.. me and Cindy were quite tired, but we still booked it.. at the end, we booked the ticket to Cambodia from KL was quite early.. consequently, we had need to book a taxi from my condominium to LCCT at 4am.. it cost RM80.. for me, as long as it is comfortable i dont mind.. or else we need to sleep at LCCT, it might be very annoying and uncomfortable..  
 breakfast at Old Town White Coffee, we ordered the breakfast set.. 
after eating, we went in the immigration hall and waiting.. three of us were very excited.. 
 from KL to Cambodia only 2 hours flight.. the time we arrived was 750am in Cambodia time.. 
inside the airport.. 
 we used taxi to our hotel, which cost USD7... we did not use Tuk-tuk because there is not tuk tuk waiting at there, and we did not ask the hotel pick us as well bcz we dont realised our hotel has provide this kind of service.. :( the tuk tuk will be there only if the guest had made early call from hotel and ask for it.. some of the hotel in Cambodia will have free pick up from airport to hotel.. 
we stayed at Golden Butterfly Villa, this is the best hotel that i ever stayed in my life.. they FREE many services, as they know customer will like FREE thing! apart from that, their services also very good, exceed the price that we had paid and the hotel rated! this is only 2 or 3 star hotel, but the services like 5 stars! i think those 5 stars also did not provide this kind of service!
 these were the welcome letter, drink and food for us.. 
 the hotel also had provide the tour service at Cambodia.. different places will charge different price.. 
 besides, they also have this kind warning for the customer who like to visit to Tonle Sap..
after settle down our luggage at hotel, we walked around the hotel and explore ourselves.. 
 we rent the bicycles, which cost USD5 for 3 bicycle.. actual price was USD6 but we negotiate with the owner.. 
 first destination was this temple.. there is no sign board about the name of the temple, everything was wrote in Cambodia words as well.. 
 the temple look very new and clean.. 
 next, we ride to old market.. many things selling at there and all are can be bargain with the seller.. 
 then, it was too hot to ride under the sun.. we stopped at the ice cream shop beside the Lucky Mall..
 we ordered this youghurt ice cream for USD1.75.. 
 all the ingredients are charged according to the weight.. 
 after that, we ride to the independent monument in Siem Reap.. again, there is not English sign board at there, and i asked about this place with the hotel receptionist, then just i know this place is independent monument.. 

 like this pct very much! the cloud on sky turning cloudy and it was going to rain.. 
 lunch at a restaurant outside our hotel.. the people at there were very friendly! they will always call us Malaysia every time see us come out from hotel after that lunch.. we ordered the ice milk tea, fried rice and amok.. they free us the fruits after we had lunch.. so good!! =D 
 after lunch, went back to hotel for check in.. the staff gave us the chilling tea and fried banana for us! they even asked us about where we went this morning, and start to chatting with us.. omg! such good service was never had it in any other hotel!!!
 tada! this is our room! we booked for a double bed room, but we come with three people.. the hotel charged us for the extra bed for only USD9 for a night! so cheap! 
 the wash room! it look very clean!
 after resting for a while, we booked for the massage at the hotel! it was one of the complimentary service from hotel to guest.. although is was only 30 minutes but customer still will feel happy about it! 
 before massage, they used the warm lemon water to wash our leg! it was my first time to let people wash my leg! so awkward!
 me and Cindy wearing the pant from the hotel, and flower on our hair! =D
 dear wearing the pant and the '1 Azam' tee! so patronise.. 
 after massaging, they gave us a warm tea.. very satisfied with the service from the hotel!!!
 in the evening, we used bicycle ride to the new market.. it was raining and not so comfortable to ride bicycle under rain.. 
 me wz dear at the market~~ 
 at night, we had dinner at Red Piano Restaurant at Pub Street bcz it was recommended by the travel application that i had download in my phone! besides, the restaurant was initiated by the actress Angelina Jolie, where the a part of the 'Tome Raider' movie was taken at here.. 
 that's the reason it called Red Piano! 
 the menu! the price was acceptable! foods and beverage charged are not expensive as compared to other restaurant! 
 the garlic shrimps, USD3.50.. the shrimps were not so fresh.. 
 lok lak by dear, USD4.50~ it is beef meat...although it had 2 bowl of rice, but it is very little~ still ok for the lok lak, bcz the meet is quite tough.. 
 cordon pork chop by Cindy, USD6.. cheese melted inside from the pork chop once cut... soooo cheesy~~
lastly, my carbonara, USD4.75! the food at there quite big portion and worth for the price! strongly recommend it! 
~~~~~ the end ~~~~~
