Diet Chart for Diabetes
Introduction
Diabetes is a condition in which the sugar levels in the blood rises above the normal level. Sugar levels get increased in the blood due to decreased insulin production and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Increased level of sugar can damage the heart, eyes, liver, and other organs of the body. Ayurveda deemed Diabetes as Madhumeha which states “Sweet (honey like) urine”. Increased blood sugar levels cause excess secretion of sugar in the urine as well.
The signs and symptoms of diabetes include excess thirst, increased frequency to pass urine, digestion problems, inflammatory lesions, wasting of muscles, diarrhea, fever and necrosis.
Causes of Diabetes
Diabetes is a Kapha disorder developed due to imbalance of Kapha dosha. The imbalance can occur due to an unhealthy diet and lifestyle habits such as excess or lack of sleep, lack of physical activity, consumption of sweetened food items, unrestricted intake of yogurt, etc. Imbalanced Kapha Dosha decreases the digestive fire (Agni) which further slows down the body metabolism. This phenomenon increases the blood glucose levels in the body.

4 Ways to Use Tangy Tomato Ketchup in Cooking Yummy Meals
Tomato ketchup is a quintessential condiment that you will find in every household. It can be used in a variety of ways, which makes it a versatile condiment. This condiment can be used on burgers, pizzas, fries, and so on. It can be used as a main ingredient in cooking a plethora of delicious dishes, enhancing the flavour and making them taste even better. However, you can check out one of the leading FMCG brands, Veeba, for their variety of sauces that include green chilli sauce, mayonnaise, garlic mayonnaise, black bean sauce, and so on.
In this blog, we’ll be exploring four surprising ways to use delicious tomato ketchup sauce. So, let’s get started.
Glaze
To give your meat or tofu that shine, you can combine tomato ketchup with red wine vinegar, curry powder, and honey mustard for that added moisture and sweetness. It can be used to dress grilled salmon or be like a Michelin chef and mix it with balsamic vinegar to make a super-fast glaze for seared or grilled chicken livers.
Barbeque Sauce
If you don’t have barbecue sauce, fret not; you can make delicious sauce by mixing chipotle sauce and maple syrup. Or you can also blend equal parts of the best tomato ketchup and peach jam with a dash of lemon juice to make a sticky and yummy sauce for ribs. You can also make cheesy garlic bread with this interesting combination of ketchup, cayenne pepper hot sauce, molasses, and more.
Stir-fry Sauce
You can use tomato ketchup sauce to make a sweet and sour stir-fry sauce. All you need to make this sauce is garlic, red pepper, ginger, cornflour, and sugar to make the best sauce for making shrimp or veggies as per your preferences. You can also add the sauce to your beef and pork stir-fry and make a delicious, sweet, and sour sauce.
Marinade
To make a delicious marinade, you can add either tomato chilli sauce or plain tomato ketchup. This is because the acidic nature of tomatoes softens the meat, making it more tender and juicy. It breaks down the tough fibres that enable the meat to hold more moisture. The ingredients needed to make this marinade are tomato ketchup, chopped shallots, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Coat the marinade on the meat and leave it for up to 8 hours.
Wrapping Up!
Tomato ketchup is the perfect choice for making delicious meals and can be used in various meals. This condiment is the real star of the show and can be used in many ways. Ketchup can be used in marination, as a dipping sauce, stir-fry sauce, as a dressing, and so on. Well, you can buy ketchup online from Veeba and enjoy your delicious food.

To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook coconut rice, avocado salad and fried goat meat using 18 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Coconut rice, avocado salad and fried goat meat:
{Prepare 600 g of long grain white Rice.
{Get 400 ml of Coconut Milk.
{Make ready 500 ml of Chicken stock.
{Make ready 100 g of cleaned Shrimps/beef/liver(optional).
{Prepare 2 of large Carrots.
{Prepare 1 of handful/50g Green Peas or Runner Beans.
{Prepare 1 of large Green bell pepper.
{Make ready 1 of handful/ 50g Sweet corn.
{Prepare 1 of large Red bell pepper.
{Get 1 of large Onion bulb.
{Get 2-3 of tablespoonful Curry Powder.
{Prepare 1 1/2 of teaspoonful Garlic Powder.
{Get 1/2 of tablespoonful Black or white pepper (optional).

{Prepare 2 of Cooking spoonful coconut Oil.
{Make ready 2-3 of stock cube/seasoning cube.
{Make ready of Salt (to taste).
Steps to make Coconut rice, avocado salad and fried goat meat:
The first step is to prepare the ingredients for the coconut fried rice. If you don't have chicken stock, You can also use plain water, but you'll have to add extra seasoning to make the coconut fried rice as tasty as when stock is used..
Parboil the rice place in a sieve to drain out excess water. Tip: Parboiling helps to reduce the starchy content of the rice which makes the grains to clump together when cooking If you are ''anti-parboiling'', no problem, but I strongly advice this when making coconut fried rice because the oil from the coconut milk tends to clump the rice and makes it sticky.
Pour the chicken stock and coconut milk into a large pot and bring to a boil. As the mixture starts to boil, add 1 seasoning cube(stock cube), 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, half of the diced onions and salt to taste. Mix well and add the parboiled rice. Leave to cook on medium heat.level as the rice, so that it dries up completely when the rice is done. If you don't have stock, double the seasoning you'll be using and use water and coconut milk.
When the rice is starts to bubble, place the cleaned shrimps on top of the rice and leave to cook until the rice is done. Mix well, open the pot and leave the rice to cool a bit. Now heat up the oil; add the diced carrots, sweet corn, peas, red&green bell pepper and diced liver/meat(if using); then add the white/black pepper, ginger, and the remaining garlic, curry &seasoning cube to taste, stir fry for 1 min then add all the veggies into the pot of coconut rice and mix togeth.
After which your coconut rice is ready..
Note* if you want a very strong coconuty flavour add 2 to 4 cup of coconut oil to be use when stir frying the veggies..

There is gonna be more interesting food in home recipes coming up. Don't forget to save this page on your browser, and share it to your family, friends and colleague. Thanks again for reading.

7-Day Meal Plan for Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Living with rheumatoid arthritis is hard. You spend all your time worrying about whether you are going to have a flare-up or whether you are going to be able to get on with the plans you made. Taking pills is just a normal part of the process, but that does not mean you want it to be.
What if you could find a way to minimize the flare-ups and pain of the condition? What if you could reduce the inflammation in your joints? It is possible, and you do not need to rely on medication that you could end up addicted to.
The benefits can come from the food you eat. Many doctors recommend changing your diet to help support and heal your condition. This 7-day meal plan will help get you started with a healthier lifestyle to support your health.
Focus on More Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Why does this meal plan work so much? Well, it is all about the foods that you eat. The meal plan is packed with ingredients that will help reduce the inflammation in the body. It is inflammation that is causing most of your rheumatoid arthritis. This is a natural immune system response but for the wrong reasons. Your immune system thinks there is something to attack, but there is not.
Most of the time, it is something in your food or the environment. You cannot get rid of all the pollutants in the air, so you need to do something to get rid of the bad foods in your food.
It is time to pull back on the carbohydrate-rich and sugary foods. You want inflammation-fighting recipes, packed with natural and nutrient-filled ingredients.
Your 7-Day Meal Plan for Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis
The meals do not have to be eaten in this order. The meal plan is just the start to help you figure out a diet that is filling, sustainable, and RA-friendly. One of the best things about the recipes is that they are low in calories, so they will also help with weight loss. Gaining weight is a normal part of RA because you feel like you cannot exercise as much.
Feel free to mix and match the days to suit you. You may even get some inspiration for the types of recipes to search for moving forward.
Day 1:
Breakfast: Cherry and Coconut Porridge
One of the best ways to start the day is with porridge. Make your oatmeal for all the fibrous goodness. You will feel full and satisfied for longer in the day than if you had a carby breakfast. The porridge will also help to support your digestive system, making it easier to absorb the nutrients you get from your diet.
Instead of adding sugar on top, opt for some coconut and cherries. They are deliciously sweet, making it seem like you have got your traditional sugar-laden breakfast.
The cherries can be fresh or dry, but you want to find ones that are as tart as possible. Cherries get their redness from anthocyanin, an antioxidant that helps to reduce inflammation in the body. Meanwhile, coconut is packed with unsaturated fats. They help to improve lubrication while supporting the liver to remove the toxins from the body.
Lunch: Spicy Pumpkin Soup
This is a lunch to have when the nights draw darker. It is warm, filling, and easy to make. You can pop it in the slow-cooked, so it is ready for you when you get home.
The rheumatoid arthritis benefits are in the pumpkin. This vegetable is packed with antioxidants known as beta-cryptoxanthin. These antioxidants offer anti-inflammatory properties that directly remove the reason for your arthritis.
Beta-cryptoxanthin work best when they have some fat in a meal, which is why creating soup with some oil or butter is best. Opt for unsaturated fats to support the rest of your health. The healthy fats will also help to support your weight loss efforts.
Why add spice? Well, this will help to increase your body temperature and aid with the boost to your metabolism. You can find it easier for your body to absorb the nutrients while aiding with weight loss. When you take the pressure off the joints, the inflammation from your condition may not be as bad.
Dinner: Potato Curry and Poached Eggs
This dish does not instantly sound that appetizing, but it is something worth considering for your rheumatoid arthritis meal plan. The benefits come from both main ingredients.
Eggs are traditionally eaten for breakfast, but they are good for your body throughout the day. The protein in the eggs will help to support your tissue and muscle health. This helps your joint health and can help to repair some of the damage from rheumatoid arthritis. You can also reduce the chance of the pain being as intense in your body.
Eggs are also packed with omega-3 fatty acids. These are known for their anti-inflammatory benefits, although they are mostly linked with tuna and oily fish for the brain. Well, now you get another benefit from them.
As for the potato curry, the spices will help to boost your metabolism and increase your body temperature. Potatoes are also packed with starchy carbs, to help you feel fuller and support the metabolizing of other nutrients. You will find it harder to absorb all the nutrients. Do not forget to add onions and garlic to your curry. They have extra anti-inflammatory properties to offer additional support.
Day 2:
Breakfast: Red Fruit Smoothie
Raspberry smoothies are an excellent way to start the day, but you can also start with other red fruits. Try a strawberry or cherry smoothie. It is important that you pack your smoothie with the red fruits for the anthocyanin antioxidants. These are the antioxidants that give the fruits their color and help to reduce inflammation considerably in the body.
The antioxidants will also help to improve the health of the cells. Repairing some of the damage done is possible.
On top of this, you get the protein from your yogurt or milk (whichever you choose to use). The proteins will support the health of your muscles and nutrients, like the proteins in eggs in the dinner the night before.
Of course, a major benefit of this recipe is that you can grab and go. Pop your smoothie into a travel mug and drink it on the way to work. Opt for unsweetened yogurt to remove the unnecessary and inflammation-causing sugars.
Lunch: Greek Tuna Salad
It is time to get a taste of the Mediterranean in your diet. After all, people in the Mediterranean are among the healthiest in the world.
Adding a Greek Tuna salad to your rheumatoid arthritis will help you cut down on all the inflammation in your body. You get plenty of omega-3s through the tuna, olives, and capers. You can also get plenty of fiber through whole grain bread if you choose to have a slice with your salad.
Make sure your tuna is low sodium. You want to cut down on the amount of salt you add to your diet.
Dinner: Turkey Chili
Why not make a delicious chili for those cold winter nights? You can put all the ingredients in a slow cooker, so it is ready for you when you get home.
Turkey is one of the best meats you can consume. You get plenty of protein for muscle and joint health while adding nutrients that make you feel fuller for longer. Minced turkey is also lean, unlike most minced beef and pork.
Kidney beans will give you all the fiber you need for the meal. The fiber supports the digestive system to make sure all the nutrients are absorbed. Make sure the kidney beans are low sodium to avoid unnecessarily added salt. High salt foods will make your rheumatoid arthritis worse, as well as affect your kidney health.
Top the dish with some Greek yogurt or some avocado for more healthy goodness.
Day 3:
Breakfast: Gingerbread Oatmeal
We have already looked at how oatmeal is good for you, but you do not just want to eat it plain. Well, gingerbread-flavored oatmeal is worth considering. You just need some ginger, walnuts, and little brown sugar.
The walnuts are full of omega-3 fatty acids for better joint health. You will get rid of the inflammation that is causing the problem. The ginger can also help to reduce inflammation and support your immune system against other ailments.
This is something you can make the night before. Just heat it up the next morning.
Lunch: Kale and Chicken Wrap
You want to stock up on leafy greens when fighting against any arthritis. Kale particularly is packed with multiple vitamins and minerals, including calcium, iron, and magnesium. These nutrients will help to support the health of your bones and muscles, improving the health of the tissues, and protecting against inflammation.
Then you get the protein from the chicken, aiding with muscle and tissue strength. Use chicken breast that is skinless to keep all protein lean.
Tortilla wraps are not that unhealthy for you when used in moderation. If you do have a problem with gluten, you can get gluten-free options but watch out for the added sugars in them!
Dinner: Baked Cod with Rosemary and Pecans
Many of us have a selenium deficiency, but that is easily rectified. Did you know that a selenium deficiency can make your rheumatoid arthritis worse? All you need to do is add a few pecans or Brazil nuts to your diet. Crush some pecans and mix with rosemary to sprinkle on top of your baked cod.
The fish will help to improve the levels of omega 3 in your diet, as well as protein. It is a quick fish to bake, making it one of the easiest dinners to prep and cook when you get in from work. You do not need to bread your fish, but you can. Try Panko breadcrumbs for a healthier alternative to support your RA.
Day 4:
Breakfast: Apple and Rhubarb Muffins
Sometimes you want something that you can bake in advance and have ready for you on the day. Making some muffins is the best option. They will store for around five days so that you can make these at the start of the week. Get the kids involved, too!
Ginger is a delicious addition to your apple and rhubarb muffins. It is dairy and gluten free while offering anti-inflammatory benefits.
Lunch: Fruit Salad
Fruit salads are not just for snacks. They can be delicious as a meal and will help your rheumatoid arthritis. It is time to consider making one for your lunch on day four.
Choose fruits from the season. They are packed with more nutrients and taste, helping your joints and your mind. You can make a fruity dressing, but keep it separate until you are ready to eat your salad. The dressing will make your fruit salad soggy otherwise.
Dinner: Stuffed Red Peppers
Red peppers are full of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and many other nutrients. They all help to support the health of the cells, regenerating them when they have suffered damage from your health condition. It is time to use them whole and stuff them for a filling and new meal.
You can make an Italian-style tomato-based sauce for your peppers. Opt for some turkey mince for extra protein, while the tomatoes offer extra vitamin C, beta-carotene, and other antioxidants for improved health.
Day 5:
Breakfast: Granola with Ginger and Almond Milk
Sometimes you want something that is dairy free on a morning. The sugars in dairy can lead to flare-ups on your bad days. Opt for almond or soy milk instead. You still get the healthy proteins and calcium without the lactose.
Use it for your granola and add a little bit of ginger. The ginger offers the anti-inflammatory properties, while the granola will offer fiber to keep you full throughout the day.
Lunch: Sweet Potato and Red Pepper Soup
Again, it is time for soup to warm you up through the day. When you feel satisfied and warm from a meal, your whole body reacts. Your brain can release all the right chemicals to make you feel happy and reduce inflammation within your body.
Sweet potato soup offers many of the same benefits as pumpkin soup. There is a slightly sweeter benefit, which will help to curb some of your sweet cravings.
Try roasted red peppers to add to the soup. While you can buy jarred ones, homemade ones are healthier for your rheumatoid arthritis.
Dinner: Lemon Herb Salmon
Salmon is one of the best fishes you can eat. It is packed with healthy oils that will help to reduce inflammation and support your break health. Pack with a range of your favorite herbs and a little lemon to gain more flavor and other health benefits. You can get more vitamin C and antioxidants to support your cell health.
Do not forget to serve with a side of vegetables. Sweet potatoes and courgettes tend to work well.
Day 6:
Breakfast: Mushroom and Spinach Frittata
We have already looked at why eggs are so good, and you can have them in so many ways. Frittatas are filling and quick to make.
The mushrooms and spinach will add to taste, while offering other nutrients that support the health of your joints. You will get more calcium, magnesium, and fiber to keep your whole body in check. It is the best way to reduce inflammation and keep flare-ups at bay.
Lunch: Smoked Salmon and Potato Tartine
Smoked salmon is just as good as unsmoked for the omega-3s. You also get plenty of flavor in every single bite. While potatoes have carbs, they are starchy carbs for a healthy dish.
If you are not a fan of smoked salmon, you can have unsmoked instead. Tuna is another filling option.
Add a side salad or some soup for a filling dish in the middle of your day.
Dinner: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burgers
If you want burgers without all the unhealthy fat and ingredients that cause inflammation, you will want to grate some sweet potatoes and crush some black beans. Mixed they give you a taste, inflammation-fighting patty that you can use just like normal burgers. The benefit is the extra beta-carotene and vitamin C that you would get with minced beef!
Serve the burgers with whole grain bread to help avoid the extra sugars. Pita bread is an excellent alternative.
Day 7:
Breakfast: Banana and Egg Pancakes
Try some delicious pancakes for your Sunday morning breakfast. Instead of adding all the refined flours and grains, opt for these two-ingredient, weight loss-friendly pancakes. You can choose the number of bananas and eggs you add, depending on your taste preferences but a ratio of 1:1 is a good place to start.
The bananas are filling, creamy, and packed with potassium to help your electrolyte levels. You will find it much easier to use up the macronutrients for energy, so you fight against inflammation. The bananas also mean you do not need to add extra flavor toppings.
Mash the bananas and combine with the eggs. Then just make your pancakes as you would normal pancakes.
Lunch: Squash and Red Lentil Stew
You can use any squash you want. They all offer a range of nutrients that will support the reduction of inflammation in your body. Red lentils are packed with proteins for the health of your muscles and tissue.
Make some of this stew ahead of time and stock in the freezer. You can heat up quickly for lunch.
Dinner: Turkey and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
Pull out the stuffed peppers again, but this time with a slightly different filling. Turkey and quinoa are complete proteins, offering more support for your muscles and joints compared to the likes of lentils, chickpeas, and other non-meat proteins. The stuffing is also extremely filling and fibrous, helping to reduce inflammation in the body.
If you do not want red peppers again, opt for orange or yellow peppers. They are packed with antioxidants more than green.
It is Time to Follow Your Rheumatoid Arthritis Friendly Meal Plan
The meal plan above will give you a range of ideas to get started. All the ingredients will support the health of your joints in some way. Start mixing and matching to create a delicious meal plan you can follow each week. You will soon find flare-ups reduce, and you can enjoy life once more.

Top five restaurants in Kampot, Cambodia's first foodie destination
IAN LLOYD NEUBAUER
February 4 2019

Since the 13th century, Kampot, a southern Cambodian province in the foothills of the Elephant Mountains, has been known for the cultivation of the finest peppercorns in the world.
Piquant but floral with hints of eucalyptus and an extra-long finish, Kampot pepper is among a select group of food products whose names are protected by the European Union, receiving the coveted Protected Geographical Indication designation alongside ingredients such as Stilton cheese and Darjeeling tea.
The "king of spice" was considered too decadent for the Khmer Rouge communists of the 1970s, who uprooted Kampot's peppercorn vines and enslaved local farmers.

But a revival kindled by Japanese aid workers in the 1990s has finally borne fruit; around 500 farmers are now growing peppercorns in Kampot.
With a striking collection of French colonial architecture and tree-lined boulevards, Kampot town is experiencing a revival of its own.
There's a buzzing arts scene, a growing tourism industry and a rapidly expanding selection of eateries opened by expatriate chefs and restaurateurs who've settled in this sleepy riverside town.

From French to Portuguese, to modern Australian, the offerings are diverse though all inevitably incorporate Kampot pepper into their menus.
Here's the pick of the Kampot restaurant crop.
Cafe Espresso
When second-hand dealer Angus Whelan of Brisbane moved to Kampot in 2011, he found himself spending too much time – and money – in local cafes. So he built a coffee roaster from a hot air gun and a bread machine, put his natural interior decorating flair to use and began creating blends using coffee beans from Laos, Thailand, Vietnam – "basically from anywhere I could get coffee beans put on a bus," he says. Today, Whelan sells five different blends plus five single origins at his family-run place Cafe Espresso. Set in a large salt shed with murals painted by "artist mates who came over from Australia" and furniture Whelan made himself, it has the look and feel of a hip inner-city Australian cafe sans the Australian prices. At 20,000 riel (about AUD$7), the sweet potato roesti with poached eggs, house-made chorizo, Kampot peppered bacon and spinach is a steal. Another $3 buys a salted-caramel milkshake turbo-flavoured with Kampot palm sugar and local salt.
Open Tue-Sun 8am-4pm, kampotcoffee.wixsite.com/espresso
Armando's
For 15 years, Armando Bonadonna managed high-end restaurants in Shanghai, Bangkok and other mega-cities in Asia. "I was not happy," the Venice-born chef recalls. "So I settled down in Kampot, where the lifestyle is easy." In early 2018, he opened his first eatery – one of three Italian restaurants in Kampot, yet the favourite among expats for Bonadonna's daily specials. "In Asia, Italian restaurants are all about pizza. Pizza, Pizza, Pizza. But when I explain the specials to customers, they get curious," he says. "For example, today in the market I bought chicken liver. Many people will turn their nose at this but you can cook very good pasta with chicken liver. I'm going to make a chicken liver fettuccine with a peppery tomato sauce."
Open Fri-Wed 5pm-10pm, facebook.com/armandofoodinprogress
Twenty Three
With black and white chequerboard flooring, a dimly lit cocktail bar and only a handful of tables, this low-key Mediterranean-inspired dinner is Kampot's culinary dark horse. Twenty Three's slow-cooked crusty pork belly tastes as good as it sounds, while the twice-baked cheddar souffle seasoned with Kampot pepper and Kampot salt is pure cheesy goodness. Expats come here to eat this dish on its own, though it also makes the perfect accompaniment to Twenty Three's chicken leg braised in fresh green Kampot pepper sauce. "Our focus is simple organic ingredients and doing it really well," says Owen Kaagman, a French-trained chef from South Africa. "I prefer to let the ingredients do the talking."
Open Wed-Mon 11am to 10pm, facebook/23kampot

Tertulia
In the Portuguese language, tertulia are regular but informal gatherings of friends at a set place to discuss politics, literature and art. In Kampot, Tertulia is an airy white-washed tapas bar with soaring ceilings and open archways created by three Portuguese friends who ended up in Cambodia. Cooked for eight hours in red wine and mushroom sauce, the beef cheeks are chef Francisco Salema's favourite. Mine was the tuna tartare with ginger, Kampot pepper and wasabi whipped cream, while the chocolate mousse with crushed peanut nougat also deserves a mention.
Open Thu-Tue noon-2pm & 6pm-10pm;tertulia-kampot.com
Greenhouse
Cambodia's most famous dish is fish amok – a slightly sweet coconut curry flavoured with lemongrass and kaffir lime. It's is a simple dish Cambodians cook at home every day. But adapting it for the fine dining market has proven exceptionally difficult. "Reinventing Cambodian food is an amazing challenge because when we arrived here, we had little knowledge about local produce," says Steven Paoli, the Paris-born owner of Greenhouse, a gorgeous riverfront restaurant about 15 minutes' drive from the city's French quarter. "It took us a long time to assimilate and discover all the interesting local produce until we found the perfect combination." Made from a cobia fish fillet with Kampot pepper and served with mung bean risotto and tamarin caviar on the side, it's but one of the inventive new dishes featuring on Greenhouse's Kampot pepper discovery. Don't leave without trying the Kampot red pepper ice-cream or a chocolate pepper cookie.
Open 11.30am-3pm & & 6pm-9.30pm; greenhousekampot.com
L'Epi D'or Bakery & Cafe's crunchy baguettes sell out before noon. Photo: Ian Lloyd Neubauer
Also try
L'Epi D'or Bakery & Cafe is locally famous for croissants – plain, with chocolate or cheese – as well as crunchy baguettes that sell out before noon. The Kampot Pepper Shop sells a range of products sourced from Bo Tree peppercorn plantation, such as green Kampot peppers and preserved Kampot fleur de sel, a salt Crystal that forms on the surface of seawater as it evaporates. Burger Shack, a no-frills burger joint run by two Australian backpackers, has perfected the double-bacon cheese. For $5 you can get a burger and an Angkor beer, the best deal in "The Pot".
Where to stay
Instead of renovating another of Kampot's old French colonial manors, Cambodian architect Nath Kananda started from scratch with the Boutique Kampot Hotel, the best digs in town. With 18 large rooms spread across five floors, BKH offers modern conveniences with retro touches such as wrought iron balustrades, rotary telephones and a collection of vintage motorcycles and rickshaws in the lobby. "I credit my wife for the decor," Nath says. "She loves French architecture from the 19th century and worked hard to bring back the style in a modern context." At $100 a night including breakfast, the deluxe suite on the fourth floor is a prism of natural light with large balconies and uninterrupted 270-degree views of the French Quarter and Elephant Mountains.
boutiquekampot.com
Set on a dreamy palm-fringed bend on the river 10 minutes' drive from town, Champa Lodge immerses guests in the gentle rhythms of Cambodian village life. Spend your time kayaking, fishing, exploring temples, nearby villages or Bokor National Park on a moped or mountain bike – or simply watching life and time pass on the river. "I don't like it when guests stay only one night because they don't get a chance to enjoy the place. We can keep you busy for a week," says Belgian-born hotelier Stephane Davos, who stocks 15 kinds of Belgian beer and cooks a mean Kampot pepper crab. Accommodation at Champa Lodge comprises five traditional Cambodian wood-stilt homes that were transported on barges, reassembled on the riverbank and outfitted with top-shelf bedding, modern bathrooms, security boxes, Wi-Fi routers and nothing else. Rustic luxury at its best. It's $50-$75 a night with breakfast.

We checked out Bao and Bing and put it on our Hit List.

Jamaican Cuisine: 10 Must Try Jamaican Dishes
Jamaica is a tiny island in the Caribbean that’s famous for many things. Perhaps you’ve been dreaming of laying on the best beaches in Jamaica, or swimming in the turquoise sea, but the country’s rich culture offers travellers so much more.
Jamaica is home to the fastest man in the world, several genres of music including reggae and that genre’s biggest international star, Bob Marley. The island is also known for giving the world the delicious meal of jerk chicken.
Jamaican cuisine offers many more tasty eats and this post will feature some of Jamaica’s homestyle meals that you absolutely must try!
1. Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Pork: the most well-known Jamaican cuisine
Jerk-style cooking is the star of Jamaican cuisine. It has roots in the island dating as far back as the 1600s when maroons would use this method of cooking on wild boars caught in the hills.
Now, jerk chicken and jerk pork are the most common jerk dishes and you can get them anywhere from fancy restaurants to street-side metal drums.
It’s a late-night favourite after a club or party, or for those who are backpacking Jamaica on a budget. Jerk chicken and pork are served in foil with bread or festivals, a slightly sweet cylindrical-shaped johnnycake (or dumpling).
If you’re wondering what makes jerk authentic, it’s all in the wood used to smoke the meat. Jerk relies on being smoked over pimento chips to get its true flavour.
The ingredients in the marinade should include lots of salt, scotch bonnet peppers and allspice. The recipe has since evolved to include onions, scallions, thyme, black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg and now sweetwood can be used to smoke the meat as well.
Without the two main components of scotch bonnet (habanero) peppers and pimento or sweetwood, jerk just isn’t authentic.
2. Ackee and Saltfish
This is Jamaica’s national dish and it is served mainly as a breakfast item, though it can be had at any mealtime of the day.
Ackee is a fruit that grows in pods on trees. It is actually poisonous when raw and must be left to open on its own on the tree before being harvested and prepared.
Once harvested, the seed and veiny inside are removed and the yellow flesh is lightly boiled to remove any harmful toxins left in the fruit.
It is then sauteed with saltfish and seasonings and often served with ground provisions like yams, green bananas and potatoes.
The dish looks a little like eggs when prepared and similar to eggs, it takes on the flavour of what it’s cooked with.
The saltfish adds flavour to ackee and can be switched out for corn pork or left out entirely if you’re vegan. Rastafarians are known to cook a well-seasoned ackee meal without any meat additive as an Ital dish.

3. Stews and Soups
Stewing meat is another common way of cooking in Jamaica.
After being marinated in lots of fresh seasonings including onions, scallions, hot peppers, thyme and sweet peppers, the food will be stewed down, making the meat incredibly tender.
Common stewed meat dishes include brown stew chicken, pork, oxtails, beef and fish.
Stew Peas is also a favourite and can be made vegan with kidney beans and coconut milk but usually includes salted beef and pigtail.
Red Peas Soup is very similar to the Stew Peas dish. It’s a rich and hearty soup made with kidney beans, coconut milk, pumpkin soup base and salted beef.
Red Peas Soup and Pumpkin Soup are the most common options for starters at most homestyle restaurants. As you can see, Jamaican cuisine offers numerous dishes for vegetarians and vegans.
4. Jamaican Rice and Peas
Jamaicans cringe when visitors refer to our rice and peas as peas and rice!
Our rice and peas are unique in flavour and a staple at our Sunday dinners and traditional holiday meals. It’s the usual side dish for stewed meals, though some also eat it with ackee and saltfish and curry dishes.
To make rice and peas, kidney beans are cooked with rice in coconut milk, salt, butter, sugar and thyme. This side meal is the perfect accompaniment to any protein and is a key dish in Jamaican cuisine.
5. Curry Goat
Curry goat is another favourite on the island. Jamaican curry is a little different from the traditional Indian variety. It’s also a little spicier.
Goat meat tastes a little bit like beef, but slightly gamey. It’s a tender and juicy dish served with white rice and is also a favourite at house gatherings.
It can be seen on the table at Christmastime and is served at Nine Nights (the Jamaican equivalent of a wake) to friends and family paying their respects to the dead.

6. Mannish Water

Speaking of goat, the head, testicles and other scraps of the animal are saved for a light soup called mannish water, which is a favourite Jamaica dish.
This spicy and flavourful soup is also a party and Nine Night favourite and is served as a meal starter.
7. Beef Patty
Photo by: Ritcharnd Moscow
The Jamaican beef patty is another famous staple of the island that you must try.
The beef is seasoned with curry, onion, garlic and you guessed it, Scotch Bonnet pepper! The beef is then wrapped in a buttery dough, shaped as a half-moon and baked.
Beef is the original version though patties are now available with a wide variety of fillings.
Try the curry chicken patty or the veggie patty when you’re in Jamaica. If you ever make it to Kingston then the lobster and shrimp patties at Devon House are legendary, as is the curry goat patty.
8. Escoveitch Fish
Escoveitch refers to cooking meat in an acidic vinegar-based sauce in Spanish culture. We’ve taken that and made it our own here in Jamaica.
If you visit a beach outside of your resort, you’re likely to come across fish shacks serving up some of the best fried fish with escoveitch sauce you’ve ever tried.
The sauce is made from vinegar, onions, peppers, carrots and pimento (allspice). It adds a delicious flavour when poured over fresh fish — so fresh that it was caught that day.
The fish is usually served with festivals and bammy, a dense bread-like side dish made from cassava that is usually round in shape. This dish is a must on your list of things to eat when preparing for a trip to Jamaica.
9. Callaloo
Callaloo is the local cousin to spinach and is a breakfast staple in Jamaica. It is steamed and sauteed lightly and sometimes cooked with saltfish and served with johnny cakes or boiled ground provisions.
Breakfast is usually a heavy meal in Jamaica and this callaloo dish is one of the lighter offerings.
It’s not uncommon for Jamaicans to have curry chicken, brown stew chicken, liver or kidney for breakfast with fried johnnycakes and yam and potatoes.

10. Sweet Potato Pudding
Sweet potato pudding is a local delicacy in Jamaica quite unlike any pudding you’ve tried.
It’s referred to as “hell a top, hell a bottom and hallelujah in the middle”. It’s cooked in a dutch pot on a coal stove with hot coals on top of the pot as well, explaining the riddle.
This method forms a sweet custardy layer on both the top and bottom of the pudding. It’s a sweet treat that can be served warm with ice-cream at Sunday dinner.
If you visit Jamaica, seek out “Pudding Man” in Priory, St. Ann, near Ocho Rios who makes it in a little shop on the roadside. His famous pudding has been featured on local and international travel TV programs.

Jamaican cuisine may be heavy on the protein side but the food is mostly local and fresh. A purely organic experience is not difficult to attain since farmer’s markets are common in all towns and it’s very likely you’ll pass stalls selling fresh local produce on the side of the road.
Farmers also provide fresh produce to many of the island’s hotels so if you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort, you’re likely be eating locally as well.

A journey looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine brought us to 7169 Ogontz Avenue in Philadelphia. Audrey’s Caribbean Kitchen is named after it’s head chef, Audrey Spence who runs the restaurant with her son Orlando Spence. A native Jamaican from Saint Catherine Jamaica, in the south east of Jamaica. The area is home to the capital of Jamaica, Spanish Town and lots of farming crops like bananas, coconuts, pineapples, peppers, coffee, and callaloo.
This family-run business started back when friends and family of the Spence’s would request top have Audrey’s cooking at their parties and events. Using recipes she grew up with and cooking with imported Jamaican spices, its no wonder her cuisine is so well-loved. Every morning Audrey begins marinated and prepping food at 7 am. The restaurant even serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The restaurant isn’t too hard to spot with its bright yellow walls and yellow and green awning proudly showcasing the colors of the Jamaican flag. Inside there are a few tables to enjoy sit down dining, but it seems that most customers prefer take-out or carry-out dining. Delivery is also available via UberEATS.
On the menu Breakfast offerings include Porridge with banana, peanut, oats, and caramel, Ackee and Salt Fish, Kidney, Liver, Salt Fish and Butter Bean, Caribbean Dumplings or Two Fry Dumplings. Jamaican porridge isn’t like your typical oatmeal- made with coconut milk and cornmeal its got an entirely unique flavor and texture. And if you’ve never tried it- you can’t get more authentic Caribbean than Ackee. The national fruit of Jamaica and its considered one of the country’s best delicacies. Grown on a tree this pear-shaped fruit has a yellow flesh with creamy soft texture similar to lychee. And don’t despair if you typically sleep-in sometimes breakfast is served all day based on demand.
Lunch till dinner time you can start off your meal with appetizers including Jamaican Beef Patty, Chicken Patty, Veggie Patty, and Coco Bread. You’ll be sure to know when you see a Jamaican Beef Patty- this flaky pastry shell is made bright yellow with egg yolks or turmeric and inside features a filling of seasoned ground beef. Soups include Chicken Soup, Red Pea and Chicken Feet Soup, Cow Feet Soup, or Goat Head Soup.
Main course offerings are plentiful including Curry Chicken, Curry Goat, Stew Chicken, Fried Chicken, Oxtails, Stew Peas, Bake Chicken, Jerk Chicken, Fry BBQ Chicken, Pepper Steak, Jerk Pork, Brown Stew Fish, Curry Shrimp, Jerk Salmon, Curry Chicken Foot, Stew Beef or Jerk Chicken Pasta.
Grab some side to go along with your mains like Rice and Peas, Plantains, White Rice, Collard Greens, Lettuce and Tomato, Cabbage, Macaroni and Cheese, Potato Salad, Fried or Boiled Dumplings. Don’t be surprised if “Rice and Peas” isn’t what you might think- this traditional dish from Ghana features brown rice and beans which are referred in the Caribbean to as “peas”. We decided to go classic with Jerk Chicken and Fried BBQ Chicken. For sides we’d certainly recommend the Plantains and Macaroni and Cheese!

Steps to make Coconut rice, avocado salad and fried goat meat:
The first step is to prepare the ingredients for the coconut fried rice. If you don't have chicken stock, You can also use plain water, but you'll have to add extra seasoning to make the coconut fried rice as tasty as when stock is used..
Parboil the rice place in a sieve to drain out excess water. Tip: Parboiling helps to reduce the starchy content of the rice which makes the grains to clump together when cooking If you are ''anti-parboiling'', no problem, but I strongly advice this when making coconut fried rice because the oil from the coconut milk tends to clump the rice and makes it sticky.
Pour the chicken stock and coconut milk into a large pot and bring to a boil. As the mixture starts to boil, add 1 seasoning cube(stock cube), 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, half of the diced onions and salt to taste. Mix well and add the parboiled rice. Leave to cook on medium heat.level as the rice, so that it dries up completely when the rice is done. If you don't have stock, double the seasoning you'll be using and use water and coconut milk.
When the rice is starts to bubble, place the cleaned shrimps on top of the rice and leave to cook until the rice is done. Mix well, open the pot and leave the rice to cool a bit. Now heat up the oil; add the diced carrots, sweet corn, peas, red&green bell pepper and diced liver/meat(if using); then add the white/black pepper, ginger, and the remaining garlic, curry &seasoning cube to taste, stir fry for 1 min then add all the veggies into the pot of coconut rice and mix togeth.
After which your coconut rice is ready..
Note* if you want a very strong coconuty flavour add 2 to 4 cup of coconut oil to be use when stir frying the veggies..
