Welcome! Here I am writing about and putting pictures of things that make me happy, mostly food as food makes me very happy :) ... food I have made, food I have bought, food I have seen, food I have eaten, and food I have not yet eaten but want to eat!

A Goodbye Feast



BIG cola
On my last day in Siem Reap my students organised a farewell party for me. It was awesome. I really appreciated the enthusiasm of the students even though it was pouring with rain and we had to alter the original plan. To eat they brought a plastic shopping bag of cooked rice, several grilled chickens, litres land litres of cola, and the very interesting 'prahok', commonly known as Cambodian fish cheese. It actually has nothing to do with cheese, but everthing to do with fish... it is salted and fermented fish paste. Yup, it tastes as good as it sounds! :P

That's the fish-cheese in the top left corner






The chicken is actually pretty tasty though, I look forward to eating it when I get back to Cambodia. They (very kindly) provided me with a fork and a spoon for eating the rice, but then went on to tell me that I wasn't allowed to use them! I didn't mind though, I like eating with my hands.
