Cooking
For our last day in Siem Reap, Elaine and I did a cooking course in Le Tigre de Papier, which helps support local kids in the area. We were taken on a tour of the local market to show us how to pick fresh ingredients, then it was back to the kitchen for some serious cooking heat. I made a delicious papaya salad (with one tiny, spicy chilli in it) and amok curry. E made a veggie curry, minus the fish paste and chicken stock, so it was basically water…
We got to take home the recipes we made so everyone's invited to dinner when we get back!

eh yeah...i am jealous at work reading this at work!!! and now i'm hungry, if you get a chance would you mail us the amok curry recipie please?
ps. up north in Vietnam ask for a soup called cow lack (not spelt right) its yummy!!!
@ruth: Hey, hope your not hungry anymore! Khmer food is great, and the recipe for the amok is here. It's pretty much the same as I made it, except I used chicken instead of fish. It's really nice and coconutty, I'ld go back to Cambodia just for a bit of it if I could.
I had some Cau Lao (thick noodle, greens, croutons and pork) in Hoi An which was really tasty, and Elaine's a bit addicted to the spring rolls they have in Vietnam.
ahh, thats how you spell it...yum yum!!!
