Runny yolks
I was brought up with runny yolks, fried, poached or soft boiled they were always runny even after Edwina Curry's pronouncement that the majority of UK eggs were contaminated with salmonella and should be cooked to that hard rubbery state that most eggs are cooked in Cambodia. My Khmer family gagg a...

Re: Tabcorb's murky Cambodia adventure
I worked on a project in Vietnam funded by the Asian Development Bank and managed by a quango of the health ministry where every rule about the selection of contractors was broken and where the majority of the money spent was wasted and failed to deliver any tangible results. Was the ADB concerned w...

Re: Smoking banned in all restaurants and bars?
Given no laws are ever implemented in Cambodia I can't see this being an issue although I wish it would be. Why wouldn't a police officer just walk up and down Street 136 demanding $12.50 from every bar every night? Easy money maker. I suppose for the same reason that they don't fine drivers drivin...

Re: Breakfast Deals on St 172
Bubble n squeak has only old roast potatoes, not mash, and old boiled cabbage, nothing else, mashed together and fried in lard or dripping. Throw in some back bacon, tomatoes, eggs and you have a real English breakfast. It was the first meal I learnt to cook around the age of ten. My parents used t...

Ten years down the line most of the team are still w...
