BAI CHROUK SACH. A few days in Kampot

Photos, The "map room", the place of breakfast and the delicious "bai sach chrouk."

Last May a few days pass Surrealists in Kampot, a fishing village in southern Cambodia.

Upon arrival I found a cheap room and small, with yellow walls, rough wood, a bed with mosquito net, a window overlooking a garden full of mangos, and a rickety old Chinese fan. What I liked the room is that one side was full of maps and charts. "Map Room" was called, not knowing that the maps have always been for me a constant companion the loneliness of childhood. "Now fly ..."

Besides my yellow world agency also a bike with me I made a trip absurd . Only me, I've never taken a bike, it occurs to me to go to Kep to spend the morning and travel 60 miles round trip. And only I can go in shorts and T-shirt under a harsh and scorching tropical sun. Result, a soreness memorable, and some burns on his legs and arms quite serious.

But besides dining Kampot had good reason to stay there a few days.

Bai Sach Chrouk in Khmer means "rice and pork, and breakfast is one of the most typical for any Cambodia, along with "Bobor" fried noodles and soup noodles.

Individuals often take this snack between 6 and 8 am, when I have some hours raised, and need quite a lot of energy until lunchtime.

The dish can not be easier and richer, a fine steak barbecued pork over white rice "broken." Often the meat is marinated with garlic and sweet soy sauce.

Serve topped with chopped onion, a bowl of chicken soup, some kind of vegetable pickled, usually cucumber, and chile sauce.

serving Positions tend to be communal, with a long table run, and some low stools. Tea, cutlery, sauces, paper plates and a makeshift awning if the monsoon rages.

It is best to approach a position where they smoke the coals of the grill and prepare the when the pig.

I was lucky to eat a bai sach "enlightened" with a fried egg on steak . Richer impossible.

breakfast alongside the forces of the city, I learned to glory, and also I prepared the body for the trip would start just 20 minutes later. An old van and discomfort, 2 children, 2 women, 4 men, 2 Buddhist monks and a lot of hours to the Thai border ...

Oh, by the way, if this by Cambodia and want to try this breakfast, do not go after 9 because it probably already be over.
