Lunch at Lotus Blanc, the restaurant training school of PSE, a large and fantastic French NGO (Pour Sourir d'Enfants, For Smiles of Children) that takes in and educates orphans.
The restaurant is terrific, one of my favorite in Phnom Penh. I lunched with Monsieur G, the Country Manager of CIST, a French NGO that is very friendly with DDD. We were joined by the M's, a wonderful American couple who live in Cambodia.
Terrific food, even better company.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
