“the one which had best merged with the jungle, but not yet to the point of becoming a part of it”

Here are some more photos from Ta Prohm, the 12th century temple near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Enjoy.

It was also after our visit to Ta Prohm that ST and I were finally able to get some lunch. Keep in mind we’ve been going since very early that morning at this point. We ate at a little place along the temple route, and the food was pretty tasty. My basil chicken was good but unusual. In the States, if lemongrass is used in a recipe, it’s either as a paste or the stalk is smashed and removed prior to serving. This dish had sliced lemongrass, which I basically ate around. But it did add an intense shot of lemongrass flavor, which blended well with the basil.
