Our itinery today is Sras Srang- Banteay Srei-Kbal Spean- Land Mine Museum-Wats in Big Circuit- Artisan D'Angkor-Old Market-Seeing Hands 4 Message by Blind (near Angkor Green GH)- Khmer Kitchen Restaurant-Pub Street
I have bought a book - Ancient Angkor @ $5 at Sras Srang. And on our way from Banteay Srei, we stopped at the palm sugar stall to see how they extract the juice from the palm fruit and boiled it. The vendors than packed the palm sugar cubes in palm leaves. Looks very nice! Hong love how it taste! To me, it is too sweet.
Mr. Jiang bargained with the lady boss in Khmer but I can understand a bit. They start with $1 for 3 packs to $1 for 5packs. I was not surprised because we can actually get it for $1 for 6 packs. Mr. Jiang asked me whether I am okay with it or we can go to other stalls. To make it easy, I say ok and the lady packed it. At that moment, I recall my customers like to ask for something FREE after they buy from me. So I want to try my luck today...
"Buy 5 FREE 1 huh... okay?", I said. The lady boss was quiet with a blur look... Silent mean YES to me...Ha ha! I take another pack and put it in the bag that she is holding, telling her "you are so nice, okay huh... I put in huh..." She was smiling at me and talked to my driver in Khmer again. I am afraid she will blame Mr. Jiang, so I told her "You are so kind, wish you have good business". She said thank you to me.
Once we stepped into the tuk tuk, Hong unwrapped a pack of palm sugar and start eating like kids.
