yum - taste of asia

these photos are a selection of the lovely things available in asia. The first photo is a deep fried cricket, we met a couple of Italian guys who were brave enough to buy just 2 (they usually come in packs of ten, just like cigarettes, but probably tastier??this is fish amok from Cambodia, you can see that they have held with tradition and used the customary banana leaf to present the dish, all held together with the traditional fastening of staples....



the Grand palace in Bangkok, it was beautiful.


Sam and I in the local market in Saigon, each eating shrimp noodle soup and bbq pork with rice in cho ben than
this is for Nic and Sam's Mom and Dad. When was the last time you saw us outside Dairy Queen? this was in Muscat airport, sadly it was shut but still gave us a taste of our childhood!
OHH! Deep fried pumpkin flower with chilli sauce, yum x
for those of you that wanted more photos, weird, i hate other people's holiday photos x but our mommy loves us and my photos
this is for you xx big kisses. This is a temple in Angkor. Below is an Apsara (heavenly being)



then a tuk tuk for Tony who does not know what a tuk tuk is, then a picture of the floating village and then a cyclo. please now imagine our butts being pushed around on on one of these by a small Vietnamese chappie.
