Angkor Village Resort and Spa at Siem Reap, Cambodia

ABBEY: Angkor Village Resort is our first hotel to stayed in at Cambodia. It is a stone’s throw away from the main road but once you’re in, you will only feel quietness and serenity. We were welcomed with drinks and cold towel. They are refreshing. Whoah, they use lemon grass as straws! The resort has lots of fountains, trees, a 250m-long pool (you can also paddle a boat), gazebos, and hectares of land mostly covered in grass.

Our Traveller's Room (SGD155.87) is spacious and our bed is very relaxing. The toiletries smells good as well.

We had a full lunch meal; soup, appetizer, main and dessert. They made me sleepy after as they are delicious and heavy. By the time I thought that is the last item, then the food keeps on coming.

And the breakfast the day after was all good. I really liked the fried rice and beef noodles. The buffet do have egg station, sausages, congee, cut fruits, and bread. The resort also offers spa treatments and free use of gym.

Suites

WILL: How we can experience a bit of life in Cambodia if we will stay in a hotel? And hey! To tell you, hotels in Siem Reap is pricey as here in Singapore. For a total experience of a village life, we booked a 2D1N stay at Angkor Village Resort and Spa. Okay, before you get confused, there are two sites. We stayed at the RESORT. 😊

We requested an early check-in and it was granted. The room is spacious and you will never smell any hint of old furnishings or bad odour. The bed gave us a long and well-rested sleep. We formally asked to see one of their suites and we are astounded. It is huge that it can house not only a couple but a family of 3-4 members. Living room and dining table is separated from it’s bedroom and a jacuzzi inside the bathroom. Oh! They have their own pool too! 

Angkor Village Resort covers hectares of land. It is indeed a walk. They have a quarter kilometre long pool. You can not only swim but also paddle your way on a boat. 

Their food is extraordinary plated when we dined in their restaurant for a lunch set and filled our tummy on second serving. Haha. 

Their buffet breakfast menu varies from Western to local. Mango reminds me of Philippines. Pork Bacon!! Haha! Love it! I gained weight in no time! 

Before we stepped out totally from their resort, we hit the gym to pump-up our blood and sweat a little bit. 

During the whole stay, we are totally pampered and well-served. They are always ready to grant your wishes. One thing, they will not just smile but will strike a conversation with the guests which is more welcoming. 

Do you know that Angkor Village Resort and Spa is eco-friendly establishment? They are using lemongrass stalk to serve as a straw and they are recycling 100% of their rubbish. 

Enjoy your stay in an environment and people friendly resort in Siem Reap.

Aquaman Movie 2018

ABBEY: No plans to watch Aquaman in big screen but changed in the last minute. I never seen Aquaman showed in this type of action-hero movie. It was spectacular. For me Aquaman is just the blonde guy under the water and is of no help in land. But this movie showed who he really is and how much power he has. 

The story line is typical "Game of Thrones" but the characters are good. And I just realized that Agent Romanov was also there in the movie disguised as Poison Ivy. Seriously they have resemblance to Mera.

WILL: Comic book hereos are filling in our movie escapade for 2018. So why not line-up Aquaman? 

The actor got famous on his Game of Thrones series, Jason Momoa and now he is the half-man, half-god Aquaman! 

How’s the movie? This is the DC movie that I enjoyed so far. 🤣 The storyline is fine tuned, no boring scenes and the effects are quite good. 

Kudos to Aquaman Movie! Anddddd, it wraps up our movie this 2018!

VERDICT:
WILL: Another viand under Abbey's wing! Naks!

Of course the taste is delightful. The spiciness is just right, the pork is tender and salted egg provides a creaminess effect in every bite. 

You cooked a lot? That is fine! Overnight leftovers is tastier! Haha!
