Welcome to my new discovery place that you can enjoy the Khmer cultural thing in one coffee shop which calls Temple. I believe you all already know what is temple, but this place that I am going to show you is involved with coffee.
The baristas, although it quite busy with many costumers, they still have a smile to me and talk friendly and I actually received a warm welcoming since I entered the cafe. For the menu kind of interesting, they are mix of both traditional and I can say another one the new updated beverage.
Trying New Updated Drink
This new drink that I saw on the board, they explain of how it made and the ingredients they used. I am not really a fan of green tea, but I just have coffee in the morning before I went to the market, so I rather choose the new one that I have never try them before.
Well, its design would attract somebody attention including me, u like how they have a coconut material for this drink as to make the drink looks more classic.
At first I also think that I am confused, which I almost think it was a smoothie a kind like ice cream or any smooth drink, but after I got the first sip, it actually normal and it has much cube of ice with the green tea, having mints as a topping for style.

Enjoying with this vibe 😉!
I also had the chance to try the new signature coffee of Temple cafe of my friends, a great blend of Khmer coffee ingredients. To be I am not really impressed with its flavor, but I think for foreigner it actually new for them, that was my opinion.
But the fact is that its aroma really make me enjoy with this coffee area. I like to come here everyday as possible with this smell going through my nose.
A wooden table, I usually at the public schools of Cambodia which is still used in today as well. On the top, they decorating it with books as many books you can see. The good thing that it isn't only for decoration, but please for anyone to read as well.
I just opened a few pages of books, I think if you are good at English, you can find a lot of unique ideas form here. I just opened a few pages and I checked my online dictionary more than 15 words. Many words in here that I don't know, however with this case I can learn a few words as well just I am not sure how long it would last in my brain, but at least I know some.
Outdoor Vibes
At the front of before we are heading to the cafe, the door involved with all the natural creation, they try to make this cafe become a good experience to costumers who enjoys the vibe of Cambodian style especially during a few last decade ago. Even the doors,they design with the old one color with dark green instead of the new clean one, I used to think it creepy since I have seen it before in Cambodia movie which is the horror one.
Sin Sisamouth CD. You can check his music on the internet, he composed every song lyrics by himself, and he left many legacy to young generation. I love his voice, everybody give him a name as a Golden Voice, especially the song of him involved with a meaningful story that even my foreigner friend try to translate his song to his own language so that he can get the meaning clearly.
Outdoor area where it allows all visitors to sit both for a group or just two people, as there are many options, sure that it takes you a minute to consider which is your good deal.
For visitors who looking for a bit of Khmer Traditional Costume, there are plenty of Famous Singers Art, their CD, which all are Cambodian Star during previous era, and there is also music background playing to keep them cheers. Or if you're feeling a reading ritual, you can choose any book from the wooden table to read. No matter what you're looking for, I think this cafe has something for everyone.
Good for individual!
Reusable tumbler. Now, it comes to the new one. Before it shape differently from this as I used to check it on social media. Every season, I think they updated the new one.
Classical Music
This site mostly a kitchen material but in old condition, but bring the vibe of classical which can totally let us to see how kitchen material revolutionized from one era to another era.
This thing actually bring the question into my brain, I truly don't know what it is?
A book shelf, I do not know why I couldn't find any one of Khmer book or even the book involved with history. Mostly they are English books which is having different topic and interesting title as well for you to choose.
I nearly close to read a few pages of another books again, but my another side tell me I shouldn't.
The only one letter carving on the steel is a Khmer letter pronounce as "Thor". A box that it is for money donation here.
I sit for awhile at the outdoor of this Cafe realizing that I would stuck at the traffic along some area on my ways back home. I try to wait for more ten minutes and the traffic still keep going, more and more passenger is increasing.
At the end of my blog, I still said Temple coffee is a great place for all visitors who love to explore Cambodian culture. There are many things you can explore here and you could get the new experience and unexpected things that you can got to see as well. Hope that you enjoy my Coffee Blog ☕!
