Before the deluge there was a nice little soup place in the food court at Olympia Mall. And the usual local street food offerings for the kids. It has the biggest escalator in the country. It's easy to spot which is a Khmer/Chinese mail, they have a Canadia Bank at a prominent location.

Besides the fact that Canadia is owned by Dr. Pung Kheav Se - a Sino/Khmer (Teochew ) I don't see the connection.

That was my reference, that Canadia is Sino/Khmer. The whole place caters to the Chinese, it seems. But I like going to places like that, it's always been civilized and orderly in my view, and the Tom Yam was quite good.

It's been open for months. I'm sure it's a fine facility but somehow I haven't felt the urge to go there yet.

Yea opened Mid-December, went for a look end of January but there were still quite a few vacant store spaces then, takes about 10 minutes from my house to get there but there's a new road being built which will reduce that to about 2 minutes, hate going to malls but handy for when needed.

Soft launch in December and now had the officially opening ceremony. More shops/restaurants open now too. For someone with kids and living in southern part of the city it's a great place. They have free playground on 2nd floor. Best playground in Cambodia. Can get very crowded on weekends though.

There are three other "community" type malls under construction on 60m road. Wonder how long they can cope having the huge Aeon 3 and big Chip Mong malls within few kilometers each other.

Are you talking about the outdoor playground? It's not bad, best in Cambodia is a bit of stretch, but then again there aren't too many worthy contenders. Far too hot for kids to play on during the day as most of it is exposed to the sun, will be no good once the rains start either.

There is one Mall that never been completed on Russian Blvd, it was supposed to be the most fancy one in PP with brand name shops only.
