Feed me; everything dried shop

This little shop has everything you ever wanted "dried". As long as it is fish, sheljfish, meat or sausages. You can find it on "Central market" in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Easy enough to find, everybody knows it. Central market hasn't changed that much since my first visit in 1999.

Khao Niaow Ma Muang

Khao Niaow Ma Muang or sticky rice with yellow mango, one of my favourite. This one is in Siem Reap, Cambodia. But for me the best Khao Niaow Ma Muang is served at Sailomyoy near Tha Phae gate in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Not easy to get the ripe yellow mango's used in Thailand (Nam Doc Mai mango). But if you can this is my recipe. You can use another kind of mango, but the Thai ones are the best for this dish.

Ingredients: sticky rice 200gr, ripe yellow mango 200gr, coconut milk 200 cc, concentrated sweet milk 100 cc, sugar 50gr, salt.

recipe; soak the sticky rice for 24 hours and drain. Steam the sticky rice in a steamer or steaming basket.

Heat 100 cc of coconut milk, the sugar and a pinch of salt. Turn off the heat when it starts boiling.

Put the sticky rice in a bowl add the coconut mixture. Use chopsticks or a fork and loosen the sticky rice.

Peel and slice the mango. Mix the rest of the coconut milk with sweet milk and a pinch of salt.

Serve the sticky rice, dress with the mango and drizzle some coconut and sweet milk mixture on top.

Feed me; we just love markets

Sihanoukville, day market.

Phsar Leu market. It's a typical Khmer market. Mostly selling fresh seafood and fruit on one side, and everything else on the other. From tailor made wedding dresses to flashlights and fake sunglasses. Some nice little restaurants are located at the far right hand side of the main entrance.
