Central Market Phnom Penh Cambodia





Cambodian desserts - various concoctions of jellies and fruits
with condensed milk and shaved ice. So tasty after walking though
the sauna like conditions of the central market. Really amazing.
I had several desserts here (at different times) !

Possibly the best soup in the world !? (from my favourite stall at
the market - Vietnamese style chicken noodle soup -
notice flowers added to the dish !!

10th floor food hall Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur
Incidentally Berjaya Times Square has an IMAX theatre
where I saw a few 3-D movies. 'Haunted Castle' was SO GOOD I saw
it several times - it takes movies into a totally different world. Amazing.
"part movie and part amusement-park ride"

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune

"mind-boggling imagery"

Bob Longino, Atlanta, Journal-Constitution

"one of the more enjoyable 3-D films made for the giant-screen format"

Jonathan Foreman, NY Post

"'Haunted Castle' is the best indication yet that large-format films could someday transcend their novelty and educational boundaries and become complete entertainment experiences."

Bob Strauss, Daily News
Highly recommended if you ever get the chance to see it :-
The final scene in the movie is 5 minutes from a Live Gig of
Belgium Band named ARID playing 'Little Things of Venom'
This can be heard at their website http://www.arid.be/
(click on 'Little Things of Venom' on their music menu).
This haunting theme was perfect ending for the movie. Very Impressive.
A video clip of this closing scene with band can be seen at:-
The little cherub in this clip seems to come inches from your face on the 3D version !!
Another scene from movie (minus 3D effects obviously) :-
