Java Café and Gallery



My favorite café is in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The place has ambiance, and the food is just the way I want it; including chicken salad with extra chicken and vinegar. I have spent some really good time there with friends, both for breakfast and lunch.

Imagine a quiet morning in Phnom Penh. The Mekong River is stunningly beautiful in the mist. A few blocks away some sleepy foreigners get their morning coffee while others prefer a fresh orange juice. Even if the traffic picks up, at the table there is no rush. Ahhhh...

Also the tuk-tuk drive from the guest house to Java often turn out to be an experience. I guess my lack of Khmer skills - and the tuk-tuk drivers’ lack of English skills - may contribute to that. More than once I have  quietly prayed that I will end up at Java and not as dead meat in a back street.

I hope to get back to Java some day. For now being a "friend" with Java Café on facebook will have to do.
