DURAIN BUFFET A HIT OF KAMPONG THOM FARMER 

The first durian buffet in Cambodia, at “Prey Lang farm” in Kampong Thom province’s Sandan district, last month. Customers enjoyed Cambodia durian in the farm. It attracted more than 500 people, said the farm’s owner, Ros Sophal.
 
Each customer paid 30,000 riel for the durian buffet inclusive beverages. More importantly, visitors got a taste of durian in a 6ha nature farm, in Meanrith commune’s 99 village.
 
“When I look at the market price of Cambodian durian, I doubted I could make much of a profit. It was rather important for me to let people know that even though it is grown locally, we are producing quality fruit. It was also a great way for public awareness of the farms in Kampong Thom. The durian farms of Kampot are more well-known, but now people might change the perceptions after tasted our durians,” he said.

RAILWAY RESURGENCE POST-COVID CONTINUES

There are now many exciting ways to travel around Cambodia. Car and motorcycle ownership has grown exponentially, there are many coach and minibus services operating, and even domestic flights are available. One major form of transport has perhaps been overlooked – the train.
 
The Kingdom’s railways are safe and inexpensive, and it has accelerated since services resumed in April before Khmer New Year.
 
Sak Vanny, manager of passenger operations for Royal Railway Cambodia, said train services were suspended from March 2021 until March this year due to pandemic.

GO ARTISAN BAKERY'S CROISSANTS — PUT A SMILE ON YOUR DAY!

Buttery puff pastry, lightly crisp on the outside, meltingly soft and slightly chewy on the inside with a silkiness that comes from the abundance of butter used in its preparation, the croissant is perhaps one of France’s most instantly recognisable creations.
 
The croissant is a French institution, and a café-croissant is probably one of the first things every visitor to France indulges in. It is the opening phase of their journey, a confirmation that (yes!) they really are in France, that life is good and it’s about to get better. But if you can’t be in France, you can still taste France, and at just a couple of dollars for a freshly brewed coffee with a delicious, freshly baked croissant to dip into it, well, there aren’t many better starts to the day than that.
