Khmer BBQ

5 different meats to cook on the coal fueled BBQ situated in the centre of the table. You will notice 5 little symbols sticking out of each of the pots of meat, each distinguishing what type of meat it is. We had, Beef, Ostrich, Kangaroo, Crocodile, and Snake.

Beef, Ostrich and Kangaroo were really tasty with a tender texture, whilst Snake was a bit tough and Crocodile was so tough you couldn't even bite through it. I think there is a reason why they are top of the food chain.  

Cambodia Pot Throwing

I made an attempt of making my own plates = unsuccessful.

As you can see you can't eat much off that plate.

Khmer cooking course, Part 1

Part of Design Bridge's Food and Drink Trail of Cambodia, was a Khmer (Cambodian) cooking course.

The first part of the day was gathering our ingredients from the local wet market.

Khmer cooking course, Part 2

The next task was to actually cook it!

We split in to teams and we had to cook 3 course.

1. A Chicken Curry

2. Steamed fish and banana leaf parcels

3. A dish of our choice using the left over ingredients, we chose to make Fish Satay of Lemon grass skewers. 

We even sculpted a DB 25 symbol!

Not enough as we didn't win the competition, but our team loved what we cooked and the whole day was a great adventure.

As a designer at Design Bridge Asia, I was invited on their 25th Anniversary Holiday to Cambodia to take part in a Food Trail. Perfect blog material. 

Nest, was our first destination. A 3 course lunch, with a few accompanying local beverages, Angkor Beer.
