Timeline
08:00
Grab a seat at My Little Cafe for breakfast. It opens at 07:00, so arriving at 08:00 catches it before the lunch rush. Order the phenomenal Khmer food; the place fills up with locals, tourists, and expats, but they usually find a way to make room for you.
08:45
Walk over to Flying Foxes to watch the large colony of day-flying fruit bats. They hang in the tall trees in the parkland adjacent to the Royal Residence. It is an amazing sight you do not expect to see in the center of town.
09:30
Head to The Source Cafe for a break. It is a short walk away and serves delicious western-style cafe dishes and good Italian-style coffee. It is a calm spot to rest and enjoy the morning atmosphere.
Local tip
My Little Cafe is always full. If it is packed, do not worry; they magically make a seat for you. The Source Cafe is a good alternative if you want a quieter coffee break.
