On one of the nights mum was over we tried the Khmer BBQ.
A round metal dish on a personal gas stove arrives at your table. You use pork fat to grease and give flavour to the center piece and here is where you cook your meat, we had beef, chicken, fish, squid, crocodile and pork). In the dip on the edge of the metal dish you boil stock / soup with veggies and noodles. Very different from British BBQs, South American Parillas and Namibian Braai's but delicious in their own right.
"My first outdoor cooking memories are full of erratic British summers, Dad swearing at a barbecue that he couldn't put together, and eventually eating charred sausages, feeling brilliant." - Jamie Oliver
"I love barbecue, it's my favourite thing to eat." - David Nail
We also took a trip down my street to mini Angkor Wat, based on an artists backyard and costing $1.50 a visit this cast in concrete model of the main temples is rather fascinating...
"You know you've made it when you've been moulded in miniature plastic. But you know what children do with Barbie dolls - it's a bit scary, actually." - Cate Blanchett
The guy really is a great artist!
Such an unusual thing to have down the street!
We also popped into one of the local pagodas in town and captured some beautiful sights...
Our next and final trip was to Tonle Sap Lake...
