Aspara Dance, Siem Reap - Day 2 (Saturday, 12-Jul-2008)

Like what the Siem Reap Angkor Visitors Guide states "No visit to Cambodia is complete without attending at least one traditional dance peformance, often referred to as 'Aspara Dance'"!
~~~~~~~~~

After being much persuaded by the Tuk-Tuk driver outside our hotel, we decided to settle for a local buffet cum Aspara performance. We do need to pamper ourselves after the hard day "walking" !!
The Tuk-Tuk driver took us to "Angkor Mondial Restaurant" (address as per the receipt is : Pokambor Avenue (River Road), Wat bo bridge, Siam Reap - Cambodia). Local buffet is USD 12 per pax, they accept credit card with a surcharge of 3 %. Drinks are not included. Cost of Tuk-Tuk - USD2 both ways. (hotel/restaurant/hotel)

Now, who is Aspara? Aspara's' are known as celestial dancers who performed for the royalties. They are carved in stones, all over the temples in Angkor ....

I would say, food is so-so, loved the endless supply of dragon fruit, my favourite! Worth the USD 12 / per pax spent! Pamper your tummy a little! Go for at least one buffet, with Aspara performance if you are in Cambodia. Higher end buffet may cost up to USD 30 per pax (or even more!).
