You most certainly can beat eggs for breakfast – and add butter, onion, spring onion, tomato, and SEAsian pepper to make a big, tasty “Omelette a la Nigel” (US$3.90) at The Beauty Bar, Ong Lang Beach, Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam
PS: Do eat the Vietnam mint garnish, and drizzle sweet soy sauce over omelette

Chewy beef and tender noodles are merely supporting cast; the star is the sauce, lightly laced with chilli spice and fortified with Cambodia’s renowned hot Kampot pepper. $US6.25 small (I’ve been overeating) at Phnom Penh’s TiNAT Restaurant (a “premium economy” eatery)

Great to see so many cyclos back on the streets of Phnom Penh. They’re everywhere, carrying mostly elderly Cambodians – and couriering freight! No longer just catering to tour groups. And so much better for the environment than tuk tuk and motorbike. 2 years ago I had a 5-minute ride on a cyclo and he wanted $US10 – that’s $US2 a minute, a Bank CEO salary. I talked him down to $US5 and he wasn’t happy…

Sihanoukville dispatches: Should old, faithful, seagrass straw hat finally be retired? It has been my one constant companion all over Asia. The potential replacement (US$4 at tourists shop) is “made for Modernist with selected material”. But am I travel Modernist material?
Phnom Penh dispatches: Something in the water in South-East Asia makes my clothes shrink. A bit more each day until I go home. Hmmm. Anyway, lashing out for lunch today: delicious duck and fresh hand-made noodles ($US4.50) at one of my fav tourist eateries, Davids Noodles…
Phnom Penh dispatches: Not unlike an Alabama catfish that’s been stunned numb and dumb by an electric eel, I’ve been thoroughly “therapied” by a blind massage therapist; my lumbar osteoarthritis pummelled into submission. Kneaded and prodded like Topolino’s pizza dough. Therapists obviously have varying degrees of blindness: one bloke has a flash Rolex wristwatch, and I catch my therapist with one hand working my arm while the other is checking messages on her mobile phone. $US7 an hour (for foreigners) and well worth it…
“Hey, I’m packed and ready to go.” My son is having a break in sunny Darwin and left his cat, Bubbles, behind with me in Melbourne. Bubbles has taken up residence in my travel backpack…
Coming home to these two. Doesn’t it feel good to be wanted? Travel helps us to appreciate other cultures and what we have at home…
