Cambodia's Big Sticky Rice Cake Made Guinness World Record!
Siem Reap: Cambodia's traditional sticky rice, which was made to celebrate the Angkor Sankranta Festival 2015 in Siem Reap City on April 13 was judged as the biggest stick rice cake in the world and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records, according to Reuters.
The cake weighed about 4.04 tons and is one meter in diameter and five meters long. It was made of one ton of sticky rice, 507 kilograms of pork, 499 kilograms of beans, 499 kilograms of coconut cream, 15 kilograms of salt, 4 kilograms of sugar, 3 kilograms of pepper, and 26 kilograms of garlic. It was packed by 333 kilograms of banana leaves and was tied by about 375 kilogram of strings.
The cake took 45 hours to cook and about 100 chefs participated on cooking, according to the statement released by the Guinness Book of Records judge. The statement also noted that the cake is been prepared in accordance with technical standards.
The cake is likely to be exhibited during the Khmer New Year Celebrations from Tuesday to Thursday this week.

Also, a very good write-up about it on http://www.MoveToCambodia.com which also talks about the Khmer New Year celebrations as a whole with some really good pics from Siem Reap.

Cooked rice is one of the things that it's easiest to get food poisoning from, and they are driving the thing around in the sun all day, leaving it at the temples overnight, and then having a rice cake eating contest tomorrow afternoon, LoL! It will be a wonder if no one gets sick!

I think a CEO member should quickly make the world's SMALLEST sticky rice thingy while the Guinness Book of World Records is still in Cambodia and we will go down in history!

Re: Cambodia's Big Sticky Rice Cake Made Guinness World Reco
if we cook very well, we can keep it for many days withough fridge. In the past it was a good food to bring with when soldiers go to fight because we can keep it for long time.General Mackevili wrote:Cooked rice is one of the things that it's easiest to get food poisoning from, and they are driving the thing around in the sun all day, leaving it at the temples overnight, and then having a rice cake eating contest tomorrow afternoon, LoL!
