Won’t you take me to funky town?
Traditional whipping boy of the Cambodian expat dining scene, the Foreign Correspondents’ Club, has hired Clinton Webber as new Group Executive Chef to overhaul its menu.
“It’s going to be a whole new thing,” says Webber. “There’s going to be lots of fusion and touches of Khmer cuisine. The emphasis is on being more funky. Think funky, rustic fusion.”
When I think funky, rustic fusion, I think of George Clinton playing a banjo.

Funky Rustic Fusion… If he’s going to be in charge of all the restaurants, I wonder how the buses of chinese who come every night in Siem Reap for a 6 dollars set will take it… Penne with dry fish maybe? That’s going to be rustic indeed.

[…] Phnomenon - With my trip to Cambodia coming up, this blog entertains with food writings from Phnom Penh. You might want to check out his thoughts on funky, rustic fusion cooking as well. Ahem. I think if I thought of funky, rustic cooking here in Sydney, I’d probably get some no talent hack chef who think’s he’s an electro house DJ on the side. […]

Fusion! Fusion! Fusion!
It’s making a comback.
Chicken (smoked?), camembert and dried apricot pizza (with basil), baam!
You can find that in most NZ pizzerias under the “Gourmet Section”.
