Waiting on Wendy to polish my teeth. We are taking our first steps in our career!
Mok Pi
People are one of the hardest things to learn in the world. Yes we struggle through physics and calculus, but we get better at those. People, however, we never fully understand. Mok pi is the Khmer way to say two faced. No matter who we are, we all know someone who is two faced. Whether they are your friend or family, mok pi people are everywhere. Some are in disguise ready to hunt while others have already been caught. Watch out for the mok pi because they are like a snake in the grass. Turn your back on them and they’ll strike! This is your clear warning, mok mueys (one faced)!
One of my most favorite Hindi songs. This is from a wonderful (but long) movie called “What’s Your Rashee.”
Cambodians are very picky about dollars being crisp and fresh.
Getting ready for our trip to the motherland in one week!
My blood is from Cambodia.
A few pictures to follow-up on the post before this. These are in the process of making boklahong.
Boklahong means: bok-to crash or to crush and lahong- papaya
This is one of my most favorite Cambodian dishes. Boklahong (young papaya salad), steak, thuck prahok (fermented fish salad), and white rice. Though many other southeastern Asian countries have boklahong, Cambodia’s boklahong has a much milder taste. When we make here in America, we do not make it as sweet and add as much stuff compared to when its made in Cambodia. In the Laotian culture, boklahong is one of the signature dishes. Just like any other southeastern Asian country, boklahong is always made spicy.
Other southeastern Asian countries that serve the dish are- Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Lao.
I’m leaving for Cambodia in a weeeeeek…still gotta pack. faalalalalalglalaofargaghrarghh.
