Phnom and on

A wonderful title from the Scotsman.com in which Megan James shares her experiences of a recent visit to Cambodia. Her piece reminds "Tan and Trev" of a favoured stomping ground which we haven't yet mentioned in this blog.

A number of projects have sprung up. I came across one of the more innovative ones, a non-profit restaurant called Friends which, apart from serving delicious food, helps to get kids off the streets by providing housing and vocational training in cookery. It is a kind of Jamie Oliver's Fifteen of the Third World, and serves an interesting and tasty mixture of local Khmer cuisine and western-style dishes. The banana fritters with lime sauce are a dessert to die for.
