Raffles Le Royal has poured since 1929 and the Elephant Bar is where the wire services drank when the airport closed. Jackie Kennedy took her Femme Fatale here in 1967 and the recipe has not moved since. Start slow. Colonial style is a long cross examination.

2 · The Detour Zeppelin Café
Old Man Joom has carried his vinyl through five addresses since the nineties and the rock has never once stopped. Pick a record from the crates, he plays it loud, the whisky comes cheap. Objection overruled.

3 · The Anchor Romdeng
Khmer classics cooked in a colonial villa by street kids training their way into a trade. The tarantulas are optional, the fish amok is not. Every plate is testimony that this city feeds its own future.

4 · The Wildcard Heart of Darkness
Open since 1993 and unrepentant since the first night. Angkorian stone, sticky floors, every hour inside is 2am. Go late, travel light, dance.

5 · The Last Call Le Moon Rooftop
A rooftop over the meeting of the rivers, the Royal Palace lit down the quay. One last Mekong mojito while the ferries cross dark water. The inquest adjourns, the bed is an elevator away.
