Feed me; daifuku.

 

Daifuku made by a friend. A strange sensation in your mouth when first tried. A sweet filling stuffed inside a round glutinous rice cake. I like it a lot! Daifuku and one more cup of coffee, please?

Feed me; we just love markets

Sihanoukville, day market.

Phsar Leu market. It's a typical Khmer market. Mostly selling fresh seafood and fruit on one side, and everything else on the other. From tailor made wedding dresses to flashlights and fake sunglasses. Some nice little restaurants are located at the far right hand side of the main entrance.
