Squid + noodles + soup

Friday, 18 Feb 2005 | Views [1866]

The dish with no official name, not being on any menu – merely a concoction thown together by some generous women hosts at a small roadside cafe near the Ream naval base. They looked at us quizzickly when we asked for some food. The request was fine ... Read more >

Still-green coconuts

Thursday, 17 Feb 2005 | Views [2120]

Still-green coconuts have their heads and bottoms lopped off so they can sit comfortably on the small table whose legs disappear into the sand on this beach. The top is shaved off to leave a little round flap at the top of a gentle peak of softly fibered ... Read more >
