Pub Street and the lanes leading off it have grown up over the years and now offer a wide choice of food, fun, drink and music There are times when a name is applied and it sticks even when it doesn’t really apply anymore. Siem Reap’s Pub Street is such a place. Not to say that it isn’t the bastion of late-night fun, it’s just that it has grown to encompass the alleyways north and south as well as the neighbouring streets and has as many facets as the people that come to visit Cambodia. December 2008 Refreshing, fragrant, tasteful are all words used to describe the almost unique experience of the wonderful world of tea When I was growing up in rural England, tea at 4pm was a time honoured by floral-patterned and dainty china cups and saucers and one of those collapsible, five and six-tier wooden cake stands laden with neatly cut (crusts removed sandwiches), scones with strawberry jam and double cream, a Battenberg marzipan cake and Rich Tea biscuits. |
