Seen at the market, today, are these trey ros, snakehead fish, swimming in a metal tub. The ubiquitous snakehead fish come from the fresh waters of Cambodia, while others are possibly farmed, and are available in every market all over the country.

Snakehead fish is a favourite in Cambodia. They are salted and dried (trei ngeat) or made into mouth-watering fish sour soup (samlor ma’chou). But for me they are best eaten grilled with rice and green mango salad.

Last year, after a rigorous week-long field work, we were treated to a sumptuous meal in this restaurant. The name escapes me now but it is really worth going back there.

I love this quaint restaurant showcasing Khmer architecture. It is located outside of Banlung town tucked in the verdant hills of Ratanakiri province. The food is fantastic as well serving Khmer traditional dishes.

My husband loves curry to bits and so, taking a cue from him, I had this brilliant (ahem, ahem) thought of making a curry kit of sorts so I don’t have to scurry whenever my husband or I crave for Indian food.

Luckily for me, there are Indian spices available in the city. One of them is this shop in central Phnom Penh where I can get a whole lot of spices and other Indian/South Asian provisions.

This is where I get spices and other stuff for my “curry kit”.

While I was out in our terrace playing with my dogs when I saw a pick-up pulled over in front of a restaurant, just across my place. Tied to it was a yellow speedboat.
