Read stuff, simply. RSS is a really useful technology with a really stupid name. People occasionally refer to it as a “feed”, by the symbol, or by the technical term “Really Simple Syndication”.
What does it do for me?
It is like having all of your favorite websites send you a postcard when they are updated […]
Small, cheap Japanese - great place to go if you feel like an unpretentious Japanese meal and have no one to impress. Kind of isikaya/sushi restaurant with a marked preference for deep frying. Highlights include a selection of sakes, deep-fried mashed potato, eggplant with miso paste, and real Japanese tuna. The jovial owner, Toshi, says […]
Cambodian restaurants have a bad habit of biting off more than they can chew when it comes to deciding what they’re going to put on the menu, generally settling with “All Kinds of Khmer, Thai and Chinese Foods” and possibly pizza thrown in for good measure.

Confusingly, the bottle also displays multiple Australian […]
Teo Hotel in Battambang not only features an inappropriately encyclopedic menu ranging from pizza to hamburgers to Thai classics, but also plays host to some of the strangest menu translations available in the whole of Cambodia.
Next time I’m up north, I’ll be devoting my meal time to all kinds of on […]
This fish amok recipe is one that I partly ripped off from Frizz Restaurant’s cooking class with a bit of modifying. Usually a small piece of grachai rhizome is added to the spice paste (kroeung), but I’ve left it out to keep things simple. I think you would struggle to find a canonical version […]
