吴哥~~女王宮~历史
站在女王宫的护河外,感觉到有一点小失望,由于女王宫很小很低矮,加上游人如织的景象,恐怕游览的兴趣会打了折扣。但别停下脚步走进去,从入口的门框开始,慢慢欣赏着宫殿的每一寸墙壁上,敬佩之情就会一点一点的积累,直至有些感动,也会理解它为什么会被称作“高棉王冠上的明珠”的原因...
女王宫也叫女王庙、斑黛丝丽寺或Banteay Srei,在高棉语含义是女人的城堡。根据考古学家认为,这可能是发音上的错误导致的,它的本来拼写应该是Banteay Sri,吉祥城堡的意思。可是这两个名称都不是这座庙的原名因为最新发现的碑文写着它的梵名叫Iscarapur,即湿婆的城堡意思。中间神殿中供奉的湿婆林珈也佐证了女王宫其实就是一个湿婆教派的印度教神庙。除了神庙,它很可能还具有为朝圣者和贫苦教众提供庇护和救助的功能。虽然它真正的名字已经被考古学家证明,并得到普遍的承认,但建筑墙面装饰的精致浮雕及建筑规模的小巧
散发着阴柔的气息在整个寺庙中,所以人们还是坚持叫它女王宫。
女王宫不同于吴哥众多庙宇由国王出资建造,女王宫的建造者是一个叫做Yajnavaraha的高官。根據奠基石的記載,Yajnyavaraha 既是一位学者也是一名慈善家,救助人民于病痛、冤屈或贫苦。廟宇的周圍原來是一個名叫Isvarapura的市鎮。当时的国王罗真陀罗跋摩(Rajendravarman)奖赏给他一块土地,后来他在这里建起了三座寺庙,女王宫便是其中之一。寺庙建成于公元967年,以朱色砂岩为主要建材,这种石头虽然坚硬,但却有很强的韧性,可以像木材一样被雕 刻。
《--墙壁上的镂空式雕花,看得人惊心动魄就是整个建筑雕刻的最大特点。
直至1914年女王宫才被西方人发现,但真正引起世人注意轰动一时却是1923年,因为那一年法国作家马尔罗的从这里偷走了四座女神雕像。马尔罗很快被逮捕,失窃的女神像也随即被送回柬埔寨。此事件激起了人们对女王宫的兴趣,随后清理了女王宫的建筑,在1930年代对女王宫的修复中原物归位法也首次在重大工程上派上用场。修复工作在红色高棉时期中断,直至2001年才重新开始,这次参观所见,维护工作似乎依旧在进行中。

First Lunch @ siem reap ^_^
During my Siem Reap trip, our tour guide, Pisey brought to this Eat at Khmer Restaurant to try Khmer foods. According to him, this restaurant is quite new but when enter got a bit Khmer feel.
The huge restaurant signboard was hung on in front of the shop..
Cambodian cuisine is one of the worlds oldest living cuisines, and is regarded by many as one of the healthiest and most balanced cuisines on the planet. With an emphasis on simplicity, freshness, seasonality and regionalism – Cambodian food has won praise for its elegant and understated use of spice, its harmonious arrangement of contrasting flavours, textures and temperatures within the overall meal rather than a single dish, and its thoughtful and, at times extravagant presentation of dishes with plenty of herbs, leaves, pickles, dipping sauces, edible flowers and other garnishes and condiments.
The staple food for Cambodians is rice, and today rice is consumed by most Cambodians daily and with all meals, utilizing a great number of cooking styles and techniques. Sticky rice is most often consumed as a dessert, often simply with slices of tropical fruit like mango or durian, and coconut milk.
In addition, rice is eaten all day long in the form of street-side snacks, such as deep-fried rice cakes with chives and spinach, for breakfast, as in Cambodia's famous rice noodle soup kuyteav or rice porridge, and in many desserts. Plain white rice is served with nearly every family meal, typically served with grilled freshwater fish, a samlor or soup, and an assortment of seasonal herbs, salad leaves and vegetables.
We were at this restaurant around noon time and it was still empty, we were their 1st customers, I guessed the major customer are the visitor.

Eat at Khmer Restaurant @ Siem Reap
在我的暹粒之旅,我的第一个午餐就在这"eat at khmer" 餐厅用过,这高棉餐厅是由我的导游带我们来尝试高棉食品。据他介绍,这家餐厅是相当新的,而且装修满有高棉风味。
这家餐厅的招牌。。
我们在这个餐厅差不多中午左右的时间,它仍然是空的,我们是他们的第一客户,我猜当地人很少会在中午时分到餐厅用餐。当吃到一半时,就有两三团日本游客到来。
是不是满有高棉风味呢?
但没顾客, 那就惨咯!!
柬菜接近泰国菜,但酸辣不强,甜味较浓,以河鲜海鲜为主,牛肉、鸡等也有。以大米为主食。柬埔寨的主食是米饭。日常的菜肴有:咸鱼、鸡、牛肉或者猪肉。鱼和米是高棉菜的两大要素。以鱼为基本材料,蘸上一种加有香料和花生叫做Tuktray的调味汁,所做出来的最平常的菜称为布拉福客,另外称为好墨客的,也是一道名菜,用椰汁为佐料,以蕉叶包里食用。另一种流行的盘子菜是Samchruk:一种糯米与大豆、猪肉煮成。还有用椰子和香料素材熬成的无骨鱼汤也很鲜美。
柬式的萨拉= 泰式的萨拉^_^
磨菇猪汤~~~就像磨菇和猪肉泡在水中
最后本地水果。。
满希欢当地的凤梨,满甜
吃饱了。。。 是时候回酒店睡午觉了zzzzzzzzzzzz
望了这家餐厅就在
National Road No 6A, Sala Kanseng Village, Sangkat Svay Dangkum, Siem Reap City, Siem Reap。。。
还不明, 那就看地图吧!!!
