What's on the stove tonight?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I used to enjoy baking and making my own bread when I lived in the UK and I keep verging on getting one of those worktop ovens.
How my 2 put up with my lack of culinary expertise is a constant source of amazement to me and I should really invest some time and effort into honing this skillset a tad more.

So, any helpful youtube cooks/chefs or recipe websites that are tailored to ingredients that are available here.. please post them
If you like Japanese, search “Cooking with Dog” on YouTube … cute old lady & her dog cooking Japanese Soul Food … and another guy I watch is “Kitchen Confidence” … guy in Houston, but I think he has ASEAN roots …

That actor, John Witherspoon, was hilarious. His stand up comedy was great too, and his appearances on Dave Letterman's late night talk show were laughfests. Those two had good joke chemistry.

Really cool channel, I follow them 2 years already. Village serenity (not a guy talking 20 minutes and thinking its about him) Hard working village people, animals living in harmony, great picture.

I felt tempted to say japanese school girl uniforms, sliced and smoked.
But i don't want to be a troll, therefore i retract the above.

First time i took a food picture, i think, because i want to explain to a friend back home what a 2dollarfifty menu looks like.
It's probably more or less the same all throughout South America except in Peru where they have a latin/asian fusion cuisine.
Possibly other places where i haven't been. Chile, Surinam etc. Pretty sure though it's similar in Venezuela.


Homemade juice
Big serving of red beans, or soup
The plate itself almost always invariably the same: meat of choice, rice, salad and a big slice of grilled platano, banana's big brother.
I only cook when i feel it's time again for some healthy vegetables
Image

Even though the latin cuisine is in general pretty bland, the best steaks i'm eating are here in Colombia, not in Argentina or Uruguay!
And if you wanna pay more than say 30 dollars for a fantastic steak, you probably have to eat it in the restaurant of a 5 star hotel.
The meat looks like you could eat it or resole your shoes or flip-flops with it?

In Colombia? You must have tried Bandaja Paisa?

Image
I think that you mean ‘Bandeja Paisa’ bandeja meaning tray in Spanish but I believe in Colombia it means platter?

And paisa my mate’s girlfriend Maria (are they called anything else in Colombia?) from Medellin told me she was a paisana,his Spanish wasn’t very good he was from Hull so she used to like chatting with me.

Lovely girl but unfortunately like many Paisanas and Brasileras (Brazilian girls) she was a face biter,my mate used to turn up to work with chunks missing from his cheeks but he loved her anyway?

A famous book that you often see in Thai airports is ‘Cooking with Poo’ meaning crab in Thai,although it is pronounced more like ‘Boo’ generally in Thai?

A very famous dish in Thailand is Som Tam (Poo-Pla) meaning crab and fish generally pronounced Boo-Bla,I used to go to a great little restaurant in Chiang Mai full of locals but it’s not a dish for the fainthearted,if you don’t like ped (spicy not duck!) then don’t even go there!
