This restaurant is quite well known among Indonesian communities in Cambodia. Foreigners often come here too, if they are somewhat connected to Indonesians. But because they don't have a website, Warung Bali attract visitors mostly by word of mouth.
The food is absolutely delicious and dead cheap!, even for Cambodian standard, which is the reason why you tend to always see Indonesians at the restaurant. The Chef was a former chef for the Indonesian embassy here.
My favourite food is the Balado Beef, which is that spicy fried beef with chilli sauce. They also serve rendang, sop buntut, some balinese cuisines, nasi goreng and the like.
Warung Bali Restaurant is located very near to the national museum and the King's Royal Palace, hence, right at the heart of Phnom Penh.
Its owners and chefs are Pirdaos (0085512967480) and Kasmin (0085512831528)
I am working from café to café in Phnom Penh and although wifi connection is abundant, access could be a problem sometimes.
You also work from cafes? From your hotel room? Your café or hotel’s wireless connection is very weak? Or, you don’t have a wireless connection at your café or in your hotel room?
What you need is a long range wireless Antenna. This one from Alfa (AWUS036H, cost +/- USD 32) works up to hundreds of meters (some say it works up to 460 meters). So you can buy a cup of coffee at a café and go to another place within the wifi range and you can still enjoy the free wireless connection (if they haven’t change the password of course).
As you can see below, I can detect wireless signals from stations a few hundred meters away:
The good thing with this product is that it can work both as a wifi enhancer and an access point (AP). An AP mode means that you could stream your hotel or office LAN as a wifi signal, for your blackberrys, iphone and Kindle
Here’s a tip: McDonalds usually provide free open wifi. So if you stay in a room or is working in a café without any wifi connection, have a look for McDonalds in your neighborhood.
Ps: The antenna could also be used for packet injection, that is to say, to hack a wireless router. But, unless it is your own wifi router you are hacking, it is illegal to do so. Hence, I shall not discuss it here.
The actual agreement between Indonesian and Cambodian government for no visa entry has been made perhaps a year ago. Unfortunately it was not implemented right away. So until May this year, I still need to pay 20-25 USD for ordinary visa to stay one month in Cambodia.
Yesterday, Mova and I entered Phnom Penh (capital of Cambodia) with on arrival visa forms, passport size pictures and 50 USD on our hands. But the immigration officer checked our passport and as soon as he knew we are Indonesians, he said "Indonesian no need visa". Mova and I were surprised and happy that we can save 50 USD. It may seem a little but when we go back and forth several times, it's significant.
So, that's the good news, the NO VISA Agreement between Indonesia and Cambodia is implemented on the ground. Indonesians do not need visa anymore to enter and stay in Cambodia for 1 month (could have been 3 months like other Asean countries though-hehe).
One of Konya's traditional food is said to be the Firin Kebab. This type of Kebab is not like the one you usually taste in Europe.
Firin Kebabi is made of a young sheep. The meat is therefore very tender and succulent. You can eat Firin Kebab in almost every restaurant in Konya but according to the local, Haji Sukru's Kebab has been speacialzing in making Firin Kebab since quite a long time. I did saw some newspaper articles featuring the restaurant on display in the shops' 'Salonu'.
The location is not too far from Alaaddin mosque. You will have to walk through past the nice looking park and fountains, straight to the direction of the mosque. The cost is 14 lira. They gave a free cay, ask them to do the same to you, perhaps by showing them this article :p
