Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

A bright herb salad with fruit and squid, minced pork over eggplant, a clear soup and a plate of stir-fried shrimp in a golden sauce, all on woven placemats, plus a frame of the dinner table.

The caption thanks the local who brought them here — the recurring theme of this trip. The dishes are more composed and polished than the roadside meals, showing a different side of Khmer cooking.
