Rum night at Samai Distillery in Phnom Penh

Samai is Cambodia’s very own rum brand, and every Thursday night, the distillery in Tonle Bassac transforms into the city’s coolest rum bar. The distillery is only open on Thursdays which gives the venue a sense of exclusivity, like a hidden club for the initiated only. The people who find their way to Samai are mostly expats and locals of the more well-heeled, well-dressed kind.

I had a Tasting Flight which is a selection of their most popular rums. Samai is particularly known for Kampot Pepper Rum, but I liked the Golden Rum and the Spiced Rum better. All of the rum types I tried could be enjoyed on their own, but they also worked out well in mixed cocktails, especially the fruitier ones.

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Welcome to my Cambodia blog. I’ve been to Cambodia many times over the years, and it’s a country I keep coming back to. Not just because of the incredible food and fascinating places to visit, but also because I’ve met some truly special people who, over the years, have become close friends. On my Cambodia blog, I’m sharing my favorite restaurants, cafés, and local food experiences, along with the places and moments that have stayed with me long after each trip. You’ll find posts from Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and other parts of Cambodia, including Takeo, where I’ve spent a lot of time and experienced a side of the country that most visitors never get to see. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Cambodia or you already know the country well, I hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration, along with practical tips to help you plan your own visit.

Hi, I'm Sanne. Welcome to Mitzie Mee, my food and travel blog, with a special love for New York City. Food has always been at the heart of the way I travel. I love discovering local restaurants, neighborhood cafes, street food stalls, and recipes. On Mitzie Mee, I share the places I love, along with travel guides, recipes, and tips to help you make the most of your own adventures. Before becoming a full-time blogger, I spent years working in the travel industry. I started as a tour rep in Greece and Spain, worked eight years as cabin crew, earned my commercial pilot license, and flew as an airline pilot out of Denmark and Sweden. These days, I travel the world with my fiancé Steve, always looking for memorable food experiences and places worth sharing. Everything you see on Mitzie Mee is based on my own travels, and I hope it inspires your next trip, your next meal, or both.
