Gracias por leer mi blog del alimento camboyano! And that’s about as much Spanish as I know. I do consider myself lucky to have come from Australia, where you can now find most regional Asian foods. The trade-off is that regional Spanish food is hard to find.

Great blog!

I am a foodblogger from Spain (from its Northwestern corner, actually) and I’ve just discovered your site. I am still checking it, but I think its awesome.

I love Southeatern Asian food but, you know, here in Europe, and specially in Spain (and even more in our small part of the country) Cambodian food (as well as Cambodian culture in general) are widely unknown. Actually, most people here use to think about Asian food as a four styles food: Indian (as a whole), Chinese, Japanese and Thai/Vietnamese, so finding a blog about Cambodia food is a nice surprise to someone like me, who loves Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino (and even two or three recipes I tasted from Burma or Laos). I am sure I’ll find loads of information here, so I’ll be visiting yo frequently.

“PB – Surely Love Beer merits sending a proxy to the wedding with your envelope full of cash.”

Hell, if I had known I would have taken a case of Tiger with!

Alas, they failed to mention what beer was being served before we got there, what an oversight…

I must admit that I have a weird affection for Anchor that I managed to completely underplay when trying to review it. It’s a bad beer but it doesn’t stop me from preferring it over most of the other bad beers, for no apparent or justifiable reason.

Jerry – Now you know where to look every time a German tourist goes missing in South East Asia.

Distortion might have been induced by taking photos atop the Khmer section of the Daily. Try photographing atop Rasmei Kampuchea for the classic “gun barrel” distortion. Or take the classic photographer’s way out and take photos of things without straight lines (waterfalls, plates of bok lahong, nekkid ladies, etc)
Over the years, an embarrassing number of hot Anchors have curled my tongue, and taste will out. Hence, I’ve come to the conclusion that APB’s blurb is technically accurate. I am curious, though, where they find all the sweaty, porcine German brewmasters they stuff in the mash tun.

I just discovered the Distort > Lens Correction filter. I’m naming my first-born “Adobe”

I use a cheapish point and shoot camera, so lens choice isn’t much of an option for me. I’ll certainly be upgrading to a proper SLR when I get back on First World wages. In the mean time, I could probably correct the barrel distortion in Photoshop though.

Hey Phil, the photography on your blog is improving all the time, and I’m quite impressed by the contrast of the condensation droplets on the beer can. You do have some issues with barrel distortion though; I suggest using a lens with a longer focal length.
