Chef Laurent
On the 24th February, I was fortunate enough to be a guest at a most splendid dinner party at my friend Reggie’s house. As it turned out, we had a number of things to celebrate! Before I left to Cambodia, I was given a book called “Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures” by Kenneth Cain, Heidi Postlewait, and Andrew Thomson . At first glance I presumed this book would be an obnoxious rant of ex-pats living it up on UN per diems, however was pleasantly surprised, as I thoroughly enjoyed this story of three UN staffers moving around the world on various assignments. As their stories gradually intertwine and gather depth, the reader is able to appreciate the interconnected nature of many UN missions, while also witnessing the impact this lifestyle can have on individuals. ... read more

Flyer for the party - notice the great playlist in the background!!
In order to celebrate the arrival of Cascade Premium and Coopers Pale Ale at their bar, my friends Yvette and Majid decided to hold an ‘Australian Music Night’. Monsoon is a gorgeous little bar that serves excellent Australian wine (Yvette’s influence) and delicious Pakistani cuisine (Majid’s influence). I was well and truly supportive of this idea, and took to the task of sourcing some great Aussie music for the event. One week before the party, Yvette and I spent a whole day collecting Australian music from both of our computers, and CDs donated by another AYA. We ended up with an amazing playlist, which I was quite proud of. The night was huge, everyone loved the music, the Aussie beer was sold out by 10pm, and Yvette and Majid were sure it was the busiest they ... read more
Power Cut Dinner!
New Year was one of my best yet. Romy and I joined our friends Linda, Erwan and Sopheap for a feast of grilled prawns and lobster with a glass of Rosé in Linda’s little flat. As her neighbourhood suffers from frequent black outs, with no exception for NYE, our dinner was set in very enchanting, although hot, candle light. As the New Year drew closer, the five of us rode through Phnom Penh (despite the rain) and arrived at Elsewhere Bar just before midnight. It was lovely at Elsewhere, as most of the friends who have become very dear to me over the past four months were there. The rain stopped, and we all prepared for the countdown. Linda had smuggled in a bottle of good champagne, so we were able to toast in the New ... read more
