As long term volunteers, my colleagues and I are always on a tight budget. But for once we decided to treat ourselves to go have a drink at the swanky Heritage for their live Jazz Nights and Happy Hour.
We all joked that this was the most comfortable, air-conditionned space we've been in since we arrived in Siem Reap - but it's quite true. The atmosphere is classic but not too uptight and it seems like a place where local business owner expats and NGO workers get together for networking. Plus, who can say no to free live jazz music?

| Khmer Margarita: Margarita infused with local spices such as tumeric, lemongrass, chili, and silantro. Strong and punchy! |
Cocktails range from $3-$3.50 which is quite expensive for me considering an average glass of beer at a local bar is about $0.75 and my daily lunch allowance is $1.50. But the atmosphere and ambviance does definitely make up for it. Most importantly, the alcohol is strong so it's cost efficient!
End note: I reread this post before I published it and started to chortle at myself. I cannot believe that in Tokyo I used to pay about 1,500 yen ($18) for a cocktail at a nice hotel bar. It's a bit funny how things can quickly change in a span of about 2 months!
