There is a place on Russell Street (I know many of you know it),wedged unpromisingly between the porn shop and the disposals.

WHAT HAVE I BEEN EATING?
- GUAVA PASTE - it's a party in your mouth and only the funniest and sexiest people are invited. LEMON LICORICE MINT - why isn't this available everywhere? I need to make ice cream with this. LAPHROAIG SINGLE MALT WHISKY - the taste of peat, smoke and fisherman without the fish. Would it be wrong to actually steal it from dad's liquor cabinet? GREEN MANGOES - perfume, juice, joy, bliss. RICE PADDY HERB - swampy,peppery, utterly unique. Suddenly I'm back on the Tonle Sap in Cambodia... LAST WEEK'S FAMILY DINNERS: Thai style pork omlettes and steamed rice. Lions head meatballs and steamed rice. Orange and tarragon roast chicken,Vanessa's squash,crusty bread and green salad. Chinese take away (spicy squid, bbq pork in plum sauce, crispy skin chicken, steamed rice). Fragrant squid salad with herbs and lemongrass. Home-made pizzas. Tomato, lentil and basil soup. And the winner was...lion's head meatballs.
