Well, I wasn't kidding yesterday - after reading about World Café Asia, I had such a craving for Asian food so I went to Phnom Penh restaurant last night and ate and ate and ate.. mmm.. I haven't had to eat yet today. I'm still so full! haha

P.S. ragingpaseo, I hope you got a chance to eat after work.

It doesn't look like this show will be available in the United States. Discovery Travel and Living is an Asian/European Channel.

Helen: Have you guys tried offering this show to Travel Channel in the U.S.?

You guys should not eat sharks fin soup.

Thats a ridiculously extravegant dish that is doing untold damage to our oceans. There is plenty of good traditional asia food that is not destroying the environment that you should be trying. Just go to Indonesia and you'll be busy for several seasons trying new stuff!!

Is it illegal to have "Shark's fin soup"???

It's not illegal yet, but it is extremely bad for the ocean environment. Imagine catching a shark, cutting off only it's fins and then throwing it back into the sea where it may take several days to die of starvation. Now imagine this happening to hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions of sharks each year. Now ask yourself what is the impact on sharks from such wateful practices?
So apart from the cruelty to animals there is also a looming problem of species being pushed to the edge of extinction.

One word for this type of bahaviour - BAD!
