Holidays Food

Holidays have just ended today. Very short indeed but it was fun and relaxing. It helped my mind from thinking about problem back home (Cambodia). One of my siblings family came and we ate the food that I made. I wish I could share my food with my Khmer sisters and brothers. I was thinking of them while eating.

Ka Taev Tirk: Khmer noodle soup with meat ball, shrimp, tendon, sliced beef, puoh koh topping. Garnished with ji-krohom, ji pala, ji van-suy, green onion, fried garlic, bean sprout and black pepper. Yum yum…

This is sushi, I made it for the first time, I didn’t roll it well. The shape was a bit crooked.  Well,everyone liked it, so it must have been good.

 MyKaisendon_0
This is Kaisen_don. It’s a combination of fresh raw seafood covered with a bowl of sushi rice. Seafood includes, cooked shrimp, tuna, scallop, salmon, hamachi(yellowtail), masago(fish egg), uni(sea urchin), garnished with  daikon kaiware (raddish sprout), wasabi, and chopped nori.

    Your KaisenDon can be served in any restarant. look yummmmy!!

    You know Japanese too, surprise!

    You’re right, kaisen don can be found in many Japanese restaurants. However, I think it is eaten on occasion because it is expensive. Regular size bowl like you see in the pic is easily 20US$ or up.

    Have you tried? :)

    Raw fish is my fav too:-))
    20US$ for 1 bowl!
    Wasyoku(Japanese foods) are also relatively expensive in Japan,
    prices are various but not that much expensive.

    btw, if you use Skype and search ‘poophnom’, there will be 1 hit.
    that’s me. Can i know yours?

    If I may, “Ka Taev” should be “Kuy Teav”​ shouldn’t it? because in khmer we write – គុយទាវ
    សូមអរគុណ។

  • Jayavarman

    Suo sdey Crazyglue,
    When it comes to writing Khmer in phonetic, I believe it depends on how you’re used to pronounce the words. Kuy Teav perhaps is closer to Khmer sound. Ka Taev probably a fast way to say it or lazy way.

    -poo phnom, raw fish is good but certain raw fish like salmon should be carefully eaten. I heard it contains parasite. So far it hasn’t happen to us yet.

    Yes, Japanese food and products are relatively expensive but there’s quality.

    I am sorry, I disabled my skype.

    Your Kaisen-don looks amazing. It looks like what I would eat in a nice restaurant in Tokyo. How do you know some of the Japanese food that you make?
    Keep up with your great work!

  • Jayavarman

    Welcome Aoyama san,
    Thank you for your compliment.

    Japanese food is as healthy as Khmer food, therefore I selected Japanese food as my second choice for alternative. I do make it from time to time.
