Thai Food, Installment #???
Whaaaat, almost three months in Thailand (again) and I haven’t done a food post yet? Something is wrong. New fruit alert! They look like miniature coconuts that were left a little too close to the bonfire. Wikipedia calls these … Continue reading

Cambodian Food Compendium
Cambodia is not a country that’s particularly well known for its food. Indeed, even though I spent two weeks or so there back in ‘10, I can only remember one dish: a fish curry, kind of neon green, pumped full … Continue reading
An Homage to Khmer Street Refreshments
Cambodia in January is hot. Hot and dry. Way hot, and way dry. I’m pretty sure it’s still technically cool season, but it’s hot anyway. So hot that you sleep naked in your tent, windows wide open to allow maximum … Continue reading

Thai Food, Volume Two
I felt a little lame after my first week in Thailand. I had spent almost all day every day hurrying towards Bangkok, with just a few minutes’ rest to peruse the street foods, enjoy some supermarket airconditioning, and perhaps snap … Continue reading
Thai Food: First of Many
Korean food in the USA is reasonably loyal to the authentic versions, if only half as good. Chinese food back home, on the other hand, has just about nothing at all to do with the real stuff. Different veggies, different … Continue reading
Chowing Down at the Organic Mulberry Farm
Organic Farm Vang Vieng, in addition to being my home and office for ten days, is one of the top-rated restaurants in the city. LP even gives it a special mention as having a nice vegetarian menu. I didn’t know … Continue reading

Lao Food: The Beaten Track, and Off
As you all should know by now, Chinese food was, is, and shall always be amazing. Except for in the deepest mountain non-villages, every restaurant had a fridge stocked with tons of veggies, my choice of which could be fried … Continue reading
