One of the few street food regrets that I have acquired is eating the above barbecued cake.

After a hard day of terminating contracts in Samlot, infamous Third World infant exporter Angelina Jolie feeds her son a plateful of late night Cambodian crickets. At the moment, this is about the best coverage that Cambodian food can receive from the mainstream press.
It was only a matter of time before a Cambodian returned from the USA with a head full of dreams and belly full of deep-fried rings o’ lard. With the opening of USA Donuts, the Californian-Cambodian cruller csardom has spread its greasy wings back to the homeland.

Neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn, as needed
½ pound ginger, preferably thin-skinned
1½ pounds snapper, sea […]
