If you need a quick,hard kick in the pants to get going.........
Try a Cambodian style ice coffee.
Take a tall glass pour in almost an inch(depending on glass size)of sweetened condensed milk.
Add lots of small or broken(not crushed) ice.
Pour over a large measure of super strong coffee.
Stir and drink with a straw.
or to buy ice coffee at Khmer eating place say......
Kh'nhoh!'m jo!ng bahn Ka-fahy dtue!k k kok dtue!k dos ko.
(the wod for ice translates as water frozen.....dtue!k water Kok frozen.The word for milk also contains the word for water....and the word for cow..Ko....
.I will have to ask my language tutor about that)
Warning: this drink packs a serious punch!!!All that sugar and caffine should get you going however tired/hung over you are.
There are some western/US style coffee shops here in Phnom Penh where you can get your ''skinny soy cap super size''....at USA prices...
but the regular Khmer places there is only one size hot or cold with or without the sweet condensed milk.Take away coffee comes in a plastic bag with a straw....very handy...can carry it just hung on one finger....or hang on bicycle handle bar(but not a good idea to drink and ride at same time).
Enjoy with caution.
