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!

Seaside Delights


Head Lobster!! This is probably the biggest food-risk I've ever taken (in terms of food poisoning risk!) When you are trying to relax on Serendipity Beach in Sihanoukville there are about a million kind people offering goods and/or services. Food, drink, beauty treatments, books, friendship bracelets, and then the beggars who just want money, and aren't offering anything in return.
Well, I was on holiday so I couldn't resist buying a few treats to make my beach visit even more enjoyable. My favourite was the fresh lobster that several ladies were carrying around in baskets on their heads... (in the 20 degree heat...) but it must have been FRESH because not only was it delicious, served with fresh lime, salt and pepper, but none of us got sick from eating it (phew).
I also enjoyed fresh pineapple, and the clever way it was cut to remove all of the spikey bits, and still look fancy. I wish I had a photo but I don't.


This is another beachy treat.. barbequed octopus. Tasty but a little too octopussy shaped for my liking.


And this is a truly delicious meal I enjoyed on one of the islands. It was included in a boat day trip and snorkelling, the trip was super cheap and super fun, and eating freshly bbq'd fish on the beach of an island was pretty much amazing :)
