KISMUTH BOOKS will release a new title, *Breakfast in Cambodia*, on September 1.

It’s by author Dipika Kohli (TEDx, NPR).

*Breakfast in Cambodia* is the first in book in a new series, The Village Report, which chronicles the true story of abandoning a way of life and a set of ideals for ‘how things should be done.’ The Village Report started as a monthly column for two US publications from 2013-2015, both in places where Kohli has ties. (Saathee in North Carolina, and Northwest Asian Weekly in Seattle).

*Breakfast* is the true story of disconnecting from life in a rich, Western country on ‘the road’ in south and southeast Asia. Of landing in Phnom Penh, and reinventing a sense of self.

‘AFTER THE STORY ENDS,’ says Kohli, ‘you think you have a way to talk about what happened. The good stuff, the road, the sharing, the journey. You try to do this in a way that’s cohesive and consistent. You put things into 750-word columns for someone somewhere on the other side of the world, whom you hope will enjoy it. You want to know if someone is reading, and engaging, and every so often you will get a tiny note that says something like, ‘I clip your essay every month,’ and it makes you think, *Keep going*. –DK

Brown Raintree: the perfect place for business meeting

In Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1), the district is incredibly crowded by coffee stores. Lately, Brown Coffee has opened a new outlet at Raintree, which is branded as Cambodia’s first boutique workspace. Located on Preah Ang Duong Boulevard (just behind the Cambodian Canadia Tower), the new workspace is surrounded by Phnom Penh’s commercial banks. It’s pretty much close to the Central Market, the Riverside, Wat Phnom, and the Vattanac Capital Tower. However, it’s about 10-15 minute drive from Boeung Keng Kang 1 (depends on the traffic). This location sits in between the crowded BKK1 and the isolated, quiet Tuol Kouk District. Inside the Brown Raintee, it looks very basic. The space isn’t as large as other Brown store. You may also notice the art installation by Cambodian artist Pich Soheap. Most of the customers are business professionals sipping their coffee latte. The outer space is for those who smoke cigarette.

Brown Raintree’s grand opening happened just last month. So it’s one of the latest openings of the coffee chain this 2016. More new locations are in the pipeline. With this super strategic location, it makes it tough for Starbucks Coffee to quickly expand. Perhaps, the Vattanac Capital Tower is an ideal location for a new Starbucks to come compete in this central business and banking district or prime commercial location.

Reddit Cambodia
reddit-cambodia_srok_khmer
Many of you’re familiar with Reddit site, which is described as “the front page of the internet”. What about Reddit Cambodia, the front of the Cambodian internet? Reddit is actually much more “a social media, social news aggregation, web content rating and discussion website”.
The Cambodia section on the popular site Reddit is more or less an online forum where you can ask about almost anything. Interestingly, the logo in Khmer language says: Reddit Srok Khmer in Khmer. Some users asked about Khmer pronunciations, others shared news articles happened in Cambodia, or asking about where to eat in Phnom Peh. In addition to Reddit Cambodia, there are smaller sections like: Reddit Phnom Penh, Reddit Sihanoukville, Reddit learnkhmer (a community for Cambodian language learners).

2.

Quora Cambodia
This is going to be one of the best websites to get the best answer to any question about Cambodia. The question-and-answer site is where “questions are asked, answered, edited and organized by its community of users”. Quora is a users-generated questions and answers site. Until recently, there are about 4K followers with more than one thousand questions asked. Quora is getting more and more useful for its well-organized topics. It’s a good alternative site to Wikipedia, although both sites are in two different categories. For Cambodia’s users, you can easily search for Cambodia-related topics and questions. Quora’s search functions works much better than Facebook. Actually you can get a lot of questions answered on your Facebook profile. But it’s hard to search for old posts. Quora is blend between Google’s search for knowledge and Facebook’s circle. Here’s the link to Quora Cambodia you must check out!

3.

Medium.com – long form blog posts about Cambodia
If you love blogging and enjoy reading blogs, you must know about medium.com, an online site where you can read and interact with the stories that resonate to you. On Medium, you can find many fascinating stories about Cambodia. Much of the time, you’ll read without distraction. That’s one of the most amazing things about Medium, whose co-founder built blogging platform Blogger and Twitter. In addition to reading stories from and about Cambodia, you can also check out those who write on Medium with a particular topic.

4.

Google+ Cambodia
Is Google+ dead? Not really. The Google’s interest-based social network website isn’t a big thing as Facebook here in Cambodia. But the social site still has some good number of Collections as well as Communities, where you can follow to get some local insights from Cambodian citizens. The Communities section on Google+ is very similar to Facebook Groups. And the Google+’s Communities is still growing considerably. It’s less crowded than Facebook.

5.

LinkedIn Group’s Cambodia
If you’re looking for professional contacts to leverage for your work or business, there is a good place for that. At the time of writing this blog post, there are nearly 400 groups on LinkedIn that are all about Cambodia. The group with more LinkedIn members than others is Cambodia Professionals, with almost 10K members. Other groups you might be interested in are: Invest in Cambodia and Career Forum in Cambodia. Acquired by Microsoft recently, LinkedIn is getting better. One thing for sure is it’s less crowded than Facebook, so some good posts on LinkedIn tends to get better listened (probably shared among interested users, too).

Just like any other Southeast Asian nations, Cambodia’s climate is wet and dry. If you’ve been living in the country during April, you feel the heat even though you stay in door. The electricity in Phnom Penh is not as cheap as in Bangkok. So having air conditioner isn’t always an option. In this review, you’ll learn about a budget Air Cooler from an American company, Honeywell. For indoor use or even home & office, the Honeywell CL151 is an ideal choice for most people who want an affordable air cooler, which is better than a fan, but not in the category of an air conditioner.

Honeywell_Air_Cooler_Cambodia-a

Why you shoud buy a Honeywell CL151?
In Phnom Penh, you can easily get something cheaper like Akira or Midea, a Chinese electrical appliance manufacturer. The Honeywell CL151 is currently being sold at $180, while Midea is about $60 cheaper. The CL151 consumes low power, which means you can significantly save on your energy bills compared to using air conditioners. It’s an indoor portable evaporative air cooler, which cools up to 160 sq ft/ 15 sq.m. In addition to adding 15 liters of water, you can also load ice cubes on its top compartment. It’s super easy to use. Unbox your new Honewell air cooler, you add water and even ice cubes, plug it in the power cord, and use it to stay cool in your home office.
Honeywell_Air_Cooler_Cambodia
Portability means you can easily move it when you move your house or office. It’s a big hassle as having to get an air conditioner guy to come and help you move it. The Honeywell CL151 is weighted at about 10 kg. It has four durable caster wheels, so it’s not hard to roll the unit from room to room.

If you considering to have this air cooler, this one is suitable for the living room, bedroom, children’s playroom, study room, dining room, office, small showroom, hotel room, or even hospital room. To sum it up, the CL151 is ideal for hot dry climates, where the air humidity is low.

Cambodia’s Second Kingdom, a new book by Swedish political scientist, tells the political tale of the Cambodian nation, its’ imagination, and democracy. In a review, Kheang Un at Northern Illinois University says “Using a multidisciplinary approach and diverse sources, including elite interviews, Cambodia’s Second Kingdom provides a novel analysis of nationalist imaginings of Cambodia by different political parties in the context of post–international democratic intervention electoral competition.”
cambodia-second-kingdom-astrid-noren-nilsson
The 244 page book, published in July this year, discusses the role of nationalist imaginings, discourses, and narratives in Cambodia since the 1993 reintroduction of a multiparty democratic system. Using uncommon sources, such as interviews with key contemporary political actors, Astrid Norén-Nilsson the author analyzes Cambodia’s post-conflict reconstruction politics. She examines “the entanglement of notions of democracy and national identity and traces out a tension between domestic elite imaginings and the liberal democratic framework in which they operate,” according to Cornell University Press.

Who’s featured in Cambodia’s Second Kingdom book?
In the acknowledgement, the author thanked Cambodian politicians who agreed to be interviewed: Samdech Hun Sen, Samdech Krom Preah Norodom Ranariddh, His Excellency Sam Rainsy, and His Excellency Kem Sokha.

The book has five chapters, which include:

  1. One—Cambodia’s Second Kingdom: Starting Points
  2. Two—Of Hun Sen: The Sdech Kân Narrative
  3. Three—Royalists: Between Embodiment and Doctrine
  4. Four—Democrats: Democracy and the Post-PPA Nation
  5. Five—Reassessing Political Contestation in the Kingdom of Cambodia

According to The Cambodia Daily, Noren-Nilsson “has spent nearly 15 years researching politics and politicians in Cambodia and recently completed her doctorate at the University of Cambridge, England. She turned her thesis into the book, which was released in the U.S. in July by Cornell University’s Southeast Asia Program Publications.”

Tuol Kouk district: Phnom Penh’s finest place to retire

Considering to retire in Cambodia? Which part of Phnom Penh the best, relaxing place to live?

Tuol Kouk or ground hill
Tuol Kouk, which literally means ground hill, is becoming more and more an ideal choice to live a relaxing life in Phnom Penh. The district is largely known for villas and quiet life. In the 1990s, Tuol Kouk (or Tumnub Tuol Kork) was also infamously known as one of Phnom Penh red light districts. However, brothel houses and prostitutes are no longer the case here as private schools, clinics, and restaurants are taking over the area. This blog post will discuss why Tuol Kouk is the best place for those who want to move to Cambodia and settle in Phnom Penh, the largest capital city.

TK Avenue
An open air shopping area where you can buy Adidas shoes and sip Brown coffee. When you crave for fast food, you can quickly order a slice of pizza or grab some sandwiches at Bread Talk and head straight to the cinema a few walks away. The Lucky Supermarket is also there, where busy residents come buy groceries and vegetables to cook at home. 

Hospital
One of the first things for many when moving to live or stay long term in Cambodia is health services. While Phnom Penh is way behind Bangkok, the city has more offerings now than the past decade. 

Eat and drink
One of the best places to eat seafood in Tuol Kouk is Sonivid Fresh Seafood Restaurant. This restaurant is popular among Phnom Penh residents for its good seafood. Craving for crabs or squids, you can order the dish you wish. At Sonivid Fresh Seafood Restaurant, you get a good taste as if you’re at the Crab Market in Kep or beach town Sihanouville. The Tuol Kouk branch of Sonivid is part of an expansion of the restaurant as it has various locations in Phnom Penh. 

Living in Tuol Kouk, you also have many choices for good coffee shops to hang out as if you’re in Beung Keng Kang 1 area. Until now, there is no Starbucks Coffee shop in Tuol Kouk neighborhood just yet, but it’s just a matter of time. Local chain Brown Coffee is at TK Avenue. American franchise Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is just around the corner. What about a cup of coffee from Lao? You’ve got Joma Coffee and Bakery.

Yosaya Thai Food: good and cheap

I went to this Yosaya Thai Food, a small Thai family-run restaurant in Phnom Penh, with friends last month. The food was so good I decided to come back again. At first glance, you may not notice much that this Thai restaurant serves authentic Thai food. But you may be surprised when learning that the chef once served at Thailand’s Royal Palace. The Yosaya Thai Food opened its door serving eaters from all over the places in April 2015.

So if you’re wondering where to eat good, cheap Thai food, go there and order a few dishes. You’ll want to go back.
Last week I dropped by the Thai restaurant for a late lunch. Only a few customers were there eating their delicious Thai food.

I ordered Thai noodle with beef soup and ice coffee with milk for a total of $2.50. The soup and meatballs were so delicious. I need to go back again soon to taste more dishes. The next time, I want to check out Esan Thai dishes.

Location of Yosaya Thai Food: on Oknha Nou Kan street, just behind Preah Yukunthor High School
