Cambodia- Food!

One of the fun things we did in Cambodia 

was go to a Cambodian cooking class

with Le Tigre de Papier restaurant in Siem Reap.

There was another couple on their honeymoon in the class

and 4 women college professors 

who had taken the night off from their student tour group 

in the class with us.

Each of us picked whichever Cambodian starter and main course

from the restaurant menu that we wanted and we

cooked up a feast.

It was great to learn new ingredients to cook with,

and before we left i popped into the supermarket

and bought a few spices for my cupboard.

I've had a go at cooking Amok since i've been back

and i'm going to try me some Beef Loc lac this week.

Cambodian food was delicious,

we enjoyed nearly every meal that we had

and it was great to learn how to imitate it

(i wont profess to be an expert!)

One night in Siem Reap we went to 

the Cambodian Grill on Pub Street.

Here they put a little grill on your table and 

you pick a variety of meats and cook them up yourself

(my husband kept asking why we 

were going to restaurants to cook our own dinners!)

We grilled ourselves some

crocodile, 

kanagroo,

snake,

ostrich
