Dabai from Sibu.  The one in red bowl cost RM26/kg, in cream bowl RM20/kg.  Both are yummy, but the RM26 are bigger and creamier.

Emmett loves to draw.  He can spend hours on drawing lines and shapes, which most of the time only him can read and tell a story out of his sketchers.

I have always wanted to keep a digital record of his artwork, but I never did until today.  And I hope many more to come..

So here's my 1st sharing.

This little drawing, he does it while waiting for our food to arrive when we had dinner at Cheese n Tea just now.

Sorry son, my coloring did not do justice to your drawing, I promise once I have a Stylus pen, I will do better .. excuses :)

Emmett is 6

My baby boy is 6 years old already!

This year we have a series of mini celebrations for him.

1st - he celebrated with his cousins at my parents house at the kampung.

2nd - we had dinner for just the 4 of us.  He requested for a pizza, so we bring him to Big Oven to try out their tasty wood fired pizza.

3rd - he celebrated together with his friends at the school.

 Thank you Mdm C for these photos below..

Note:

1. Food in Siem Reap is a bit blend to me, but the drinks are too sweet. 
2. Hygiene, looks ok, but saw 2 huge mouse at the back of the shophouse nearby Apsara Hotel, the biggest mouse I ever see!
3. People are usually very friendly, which make us felt obligate to give some tips, maybe due to our 1st experience at airport checkpoint.
4. Generally things here are very similar to  Krabi, Thailand
5. No western food franchise, meaning no KFC, McD, Starbuck or whatsover.
6. You can find RHB atm in Pub Street area, and I saw a Maybank atm at the airport, so no problem for Malaysian to take out some extra cash.

Noodle Descendent, Padungan

Long time did not have this Bishop gate noodle, the last we had these was in 2011.

This is our 1st visit since they moved to this new place in Padungan; they are using the new branding now called Noodle Descendent (since 1957)

There's people waiting for the seats, as usual

I don't see any sense of urgently in them

making the noodle, all seems slow n steady, while the customer were either having sleepy eye or pretending to be busy on their phone during the long wait.

slow n steady noodle in the making

We had to stand for about 20 min, got our seats and waited again for another 40 minutes..

Our drinks

Finally, the famous descendent noodle

And the bill for 2 persons.

I will only come back again if I really-really crave for it; else I will go elsewhere to get my mix pork dose, minus the waiting hour.

Hotel Somadevi Angkor Resort & Spa, Siem Reap

Why did we choose this hotel? Because of the good review and great swimming for the kids to cool off.

And yes, the kids love the pool so much that it was difficult to get them out of it.

Waterlily at the pool area, notice there are bees on all the flowers?!

The hallway

Our welcoming drink - cooling yummy lemon grass drinks

The only problem is on the 1st night, the aircond in our room was not working, so we had to change room in the middle of the night.

It is claimed that its only takes a 5 minutes by foot to get to the Night Market but we always took a tuk tuk, cost us USD2 per trip.  Too much walking around the temple, so just spend a few dollars more for comfort.

Our conversation before we went to sleep last night..

Mummy: Eugene, berapa 9 darab 6?

Eugene: 54

Mummy: Berapa 9 darab 8?

Eugene: 72

Emmett: Mummy, apa darab tu?

Mummy: Tanya your Dad, dia kan selalu cakap dia pandai Math.

Emmett: Daddy, apa darab tu?

Daddy: Darab tu multiply.

Emmett: Apa multiply tu?

Daddy: Multiply tu macam berapa kali.

Emmett: ermmm..

Last-last Eugene jugak yang kena explain kat Emmett, memang fail la Daddy kalau dia jadi tutor Math.
