Western Indulgence

A new shopping mall opened up on the main road. It was under construction last year, and now it's fully operational. The company that runs it is called Lucky, hence the name Lucky Mall.

Inside they have places such as Lucky Department, Lucky Burger, and Lucky Bookshop. Not all the shops are run by the same company, like the chocolate store. Everything they had was pure decadence. The manager said that the owner runs the large chocolate shop in Phnom Penh by the royal palace, and has done so for many years.

This experience was evident in the luxurious flavors, such as Dark Chocolate with Green Tea Chocolate filling, and other amazing combinations. Nothing was overpowering, just very pure and well crafted pieces of delight. This was easily on the level of a gourmet chocolate shop in the US, and could probably surpass any of them in quality.

So how much would you pay for 6 (we shared) pieces of handmade chocolate? Try under $3, with table service, water, and an amazing atmosphere.
