Beautiful Mawlamyine in Myanmar. This is the view

Beautiful Mawlamyine in Myanmar. This is the view from the morning train that took us back to Yangon on our last trip a few years ago to do a story. My memories of Myanmar are dominated by laidback cities, sleepy towns, dusty villages, serene lakes, clear mornings, and silent nights.

Today’s Myanmar couldn’t be further from the Myanmar of my memories. Today, like every day, crowds of fearless protestors streamed through city streets. Tonight, pots will be beaten against pans to provide a nightly protest soundtrack that’s not intended to lull anybody to sleep. Sadly, tomorrow is likely to bring the same.

If you’re not aware of what’s happening in Myanmar, search for # such as #whatsgoingoninmyanmar and share those with your friends and followers so the people of beautiful Myanmar know that the world is watching and that we won’t look away this time. More tags below to follow.

We now have “56 Cambodian Recipes to Learn to Co

We now have “56 Cambodian Recipes to Learn to Cook” on Grantourismo. We’ve added recipes for ‘mee Katang’ and Nom Banh Chok. These will go in one of the two Cambodian cookbooks we’re working on, which is a cookbook cum travelogue that’s an ode to Cambodia and its food-loving people, and a document of our 8 years here, the people we’ve met, the food we’ve cooked and eaten, and what we’ve learnt.

The other cookbook and culinary history, an epic tome that will change the way the world thinks about Cambodian food — and also change the way you think about Thai food and Vietnamese food — is currently at a standstill as we need to raise significant funds to get on the road again here in Cambodia to interview old cooks, document their stories and recipes, and photograph them and their kitchens.

It’s not at a complete standstill. I’m still researching and writing the culinary history I’ve been researching for over 7 years. I’m currently delving into the long history of Chinese immigration to Cambodia and looking at Cambodian-Chinese cuisine. And we’re always testing recipes.

But until we can raise the money to fund our final research trips to cover hiring a driver/car, our translator/assistant, their and our expenses for 50-60 nights accommodation and meals, fees for the cooks, and the cost of food for the dishes they show us how to make, we can’t resume that work and complete the book.

Snapped this on a walk through our old neighbourho

Snapped this on a walk through our old neighbourhood, right by our old apartment building in what was once Siem Reap’s petite French quarter.

The leafy street still remains one of the city’s most picturesque and most peaceful streets, having miraculously avoided being dug up like almost every other road in the city.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful, when all the new roadworks have been completed, if more trees are planted and the rest of the city resembles this tranquil little quarter?

In case you missed it, this Cambodian mee katang r

In case you missed it, this Cambodian mee katang recipe Is up on Grantourismo. It makes a delicious Chinese-Cambodian dish of wok-fried wide rice noodles, browned by dark soy sauce, and stir-fried with marinated pork, crunchy carrots and Chinese broccoli, and scrambled eggs.

Called ‘mee Kontang’ in Khmer, which means ‘Cantonese noodles’, but pronounced ‘mee Katang’, these charred noodles are a cinch to make and super versatile.

While not as ubiquitous in Cambodia as noodle soup dishes such as nom banh chok and kuy teav, nor as popular as wok-fried noodles such as lort cha, mee Kola, chha kuy teav, or mee Siem, you will still spot mee Katang at street food carts and on restaurant menus.

A descendant of the Cantonese dish chow fun, mee Katang is made with the same fresh, flat, wide rice noodles called hor fun, which are stir-fried in light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and oyster sauce to give the noodles colour as much as flavour.

In Cambodia, mee katang recipes typically include Chinese broccoli (kai lan or gai lan), julienned carrot and scrambled eggs, and while we love mee Katang with marinated pork, these noodles can also be stir-fried with beef or chicken, shrimps or mixed seafood.

This will definitely be going in our Cambodian cookbook. You can support our Cambodia culinary history and cookbook for as little as $2, $5 or even $10 a month or make a donation on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/laradunston

This landscape could be here in Cambodia, but it’s Myanmar. I took this pic in Mawlamyine and specifically on a growing island just off the coast of that sleepy town that captured our hearts. We visited for a food story we were working on and have travelled Myanmar updating travel guides.

If you’ve also travelled to Myanmar and have been enchanted by the country, it would have been not only because of its beguiling beauty, but because of the beauty of its people, who are some of the kindest, sweetest, most sincere, and most generous people we’ve ever met on our travels.

Their struggle for democracy after the recent coup isn’t getting nearly the global attention that it should be. The images coming out of the country on social media are as inspiring and uplifting as they are tragic and heartbreaking. They’ve been particularly graphic, brutal and bloody in recent days.

Millions of people risked their lives today to take to the streets to protest in cities and towns across the country, to fight for the democracy and freedom to live their lives that so many of us take for granted around the world.

If you’re not aware of what’s happening, search for # tags such as #whatsgoingoninmyanmar and then on those posts you’ll find more tags to follow. Share those with your friends and followers so the people of Myanmar know that the world is watching. More tags below to follow.

If you’re having a lazy Sunday and looking for a

If you’re having a lazy Sunday and looking for an eggs dish for a late breakfast, brunch, lunch or snack (depending on where you are in the world), try this classic Thai omelette recipe for kai jiew.

It makes a delicious golden-brown omelette that’s layered in textures — it puffs up “spectacularly” (to quote @terence_carter_photography ) when being cooked and then remains a little puffy, soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside.

Squirt on some chilli sauce such as Thai Sriracha and sprinkle sliced scallions or spring onions on the thing and you’re set. For a filling meal, do as the Thais do and enjoy it with steamed rice.

This Thai omelette recipe is next in our recently re-launched decade-old series, Weekend Eggs, on breakfast eggs dishes from around the world. Terence posts a new recipe every Friday.

We kicked off the re-booted series with a Calabrian take on eggs in purgatory and last week published another Thai eggs dish for son-in-law eggs or kai look keuy, fried soft-boiled eggs with an ever-so-slightly crispy skin.

It’s a good excuse to drop by Grantourismo and catch up on the recipes and stories we’ve shared during the week.
