Along the way to DOC, there are many other craft shops around the same area and the National Museum is just around the corner as well.

Panda Mart.. cute logo

Just nearby is Friends 'n' stuff which also has a cafe named Friends the Restaurant. They too are a social enterprise. A cheerful tapas restaurant run by the organization 'Friends', teaching street youth cooking and service skills. Settle in for some drinks tapas and salads~~

Some views along the streets

Daughters of Cambodia is a social enterprise providing training and employment in the hospitality sector to survivors of human trafficking. It's a combination of shopping, hands and feet spa for women and cafe all in one in this 2 storey building.

I apologise I forgot to take photos of the interior gifts area (coz I was busy shopping ^^), but it's a wonderful place to shop for all the local handmade art crafts. Seriously, you get to buy some lovely gifts and do good for the children, why not?

Head straight up to 2nd level for the cafe- Sugar n Spice, often seen patronized by foreigners.

The cafe offers comfortable sofas, meals and light bites to satisfy your taste buds. Great desserts and selections of tea and coffee plus Free wifi means you can really laze at this place for as long as you want.

It was Valentine's Day yesterday, so tada the red velvet cupcake!

Cupcakes are about USD 1 to 2 plus.

Orange zest cupcake

Pork and Mango Crepe- filled with huge chunky pieces of grilled pork and mango, clove syrup and served with a side salad made of mango, papaya and coconut. USD 6.50

This crepe was more sweet than savory. Huge thick pieces of mango were really fragrant and juicy and it was a good thing the savory taste of the pork helps to balance the sweetness of the crepe, even though it's more of a natural sweetness. Overall love this dish!!

Avocado and pumpkin salad which came served with greens, cheese, cashew nuts. A very filling dish, this salad was paired up with their delicious in-house baguette toasted garlic bread, which was really crispy soft. Super yummy! Your teeth won't break from biting for sure USD 5.50

Beer Battered Fish with french fries, salad and homemade tartar USD $7. Comes with thick cut fries, the fish fillet is tender and crispy. Good for sharing.
