Fresh cold soup, Gazpacho made from fresh tomatoes, and cucumber! Posted 11th January 2013 My brain slowly became alert and woke up from interrupted night sleep. My eyes were trying to accommodate and adjust to the bright light streaming from my bedroom windows... almost blinding... A quick glance towards the ticking alarm clock... it's almost 7 am. Small beads of sweat started to emerge... Slowly... lazily...  I swung my feet off the bed and head out to the kitchen... in the 'sleep deprivation' state of mind, I reached out to open the door... walked out to the yard... smell the air... The sky was clear without any white fluffy clouds, the air was heavy, humid and almost zero breeze... ... I let out a big sigh...  '... another scorcher day!!'  'what's for dinner?' I could almost hear myself asking... I had no intention to slog over the stove nor am I starting the oven... Half awake and half asleep..., I reached out to open the fri...

My first 'Food' post for 2011... and what a better way to start 2011 with a humble yet refreshing  Sour Fish Soup  from Cambodia... plus I have 3 Souvenirs from Cambodia to give away to 3 lucky readers...anywhere in the world... just scroll down ... after the recipe... to enter the draw. There is quite a distinctive similarity in Cambodian and Thai food.. oops... I could be in hot soup for the statement...  Cambodian uses a lot of fresh ingredients in their cooking ~ lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves and so forth.  They consumed plenty of fish ... fresh from Lake Tonle Sap ...
