The true story of beloved Cambodian singer Ros Serey Sothea, whose \"Golden Voice\" helped define Cambodia's Golden Age of music until her mysterious disappearance in the killing fields of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. Developed in partnership with Sothea's family. There is a saying in Cambodia: Music is the soul of a nation. Perhaps no one embodied that spirit more than Ros Serey Sothea, a young woman who would forever change the landscape of Cambodian music as the Queen with the Golden Voice. From a humble rice farmer to nationally recognized singer, Sothea's success captured the hearts of the Khmer people. Throughout her career, she recorded over 500 songs, her signature angelic voice soaring over genres from traditional ballads to psychedelic rock and beyond. As the Cambodian civil war raged, Sothea's singing career continued to flourish, even when she served in the army as one of the country's first female paratroopers. After years of bloody conflict, the communist Khmer Rouge seized control, murdering artists and destroying their music, bringing Cambodia's golden age into a dark era of silence. Sothea's fate is unknown. Ros Serey Sothea's golden voice lives on in the popular music of Cambodia to this very day. Gone but not forgotten, her legacy continues to inspire. The Golden Voice tells the story of Sothea's life, developed alongside the surviving family who knew her, and accompanied by an interactive soundtrack.

Helena and Sothea had an intimate downtown Seattle Courthouse Elopement in Washington photographed by local Seattle Wedding Photographer, Rebecca Anne Photography.
April 17th, 2015 marks 40 years since the Khmer Rouge took Phnom Penh and unleashed a wrath of vengeance against its own people. The genocide war in Cambodia left almost 2 million people dead from execution, starvation and disease.
During Lent, most people pick something they love and give it up for 40 days. The Mo and I are doing a modified version and giving up on processed food, bread, rice, pasta and the likes for next 3 weeks, just in time for our trip to Dubai and Thailand! On weekends, we typically go to the gym in the morning and grab a huge brunch afterwards. What's the point right? I actually enjoy working out and like going to the gym. It's the EATING!! I cannot control myself and have no self discipline. Like the Mo says, "You're like a crack addict that knows how to make crack." Instead of our typical Indian, Japanese, or Cambodian heavy brunch, (already did that yesterday at Heng Lay) today we enjoyed low carb lettuce wraps in lieu of our regular order of Cambodian spring rolls loaded with rice vermicelli noodles and wrapped in rice paper. (See below) Cambodian Spring Roll The beauty of the low carb lettuce wraps is that you can customize them to your liking. There are so many different varieties of lettuce that you can use for the wrap itself. You can use romaine, bibb, iceberg, red leaf and green leaf, I used the later. Lettuce varieties, Photo courtesy of epicurious.com The Mo and I build our own wraps as we go. He likes jalapenos whereas its too spicy for my taste buds. I prefer summer squash and zucchini and he prefers lots of beansprouts. We both love Thai basil but he nixes the chive. For the filling, if you don't like shrimp, you can use chicken, pork or beef or all of the above. If you prefer one vegetable over another, you can stuff it with that too. Here is how I made the wraps today. I washed the following ingredients and set in a colander to drain: Bean Sprouts Green leaf lettuce 1 zucchini 1 summer squash Jalapenos Thai Basil Chive Using a hand shredder, I julienne the summer squash and zucchini into long strips. I trimmed the ends of the chive. I bought a reduced price rotisserie chicken from the deli section at Market Basket. It's the leftover chicken from yesterday that they didn't sell and had to refrigerate at reduced the price to almost half. I paid $ 2.50 for this chicken. You can find it in the refrigerated deli section where they sell cheese and lunch meat ends. Typically, the small rotisserie chicken lasts us two meals for the both of us. To heat the chicken, I placed it in my NuWave at set the temperate at 350 degrees for 15 minutes for a crispy skin. Market Basket refrigerated rotisserie chicken $ 2.50 I had some left over marinated steak tips and I pan fried a few minutes on each side to medium well. Pan Fried steak tips Next up, time to assemble the wraps. Place a large green leave on the plate. Add vegetables and herbs to your liking. I started off with zucchini, summer squash, bean sprouts, and Thai Basil. (Spear mint leaves is also a great addition) Add the meat your choice and roll into a wrap. Try to not over stuff the lettuce too much or it will become difficult to wrap. For the first one, I made a steak tip wrap. Following the same steps for chicken. People can opt for boneless and skinless to keep it light or they can keep the skin on for that nice crispy flavorful texture. Serve with your favorite dressing or dipping sauce. You can use Hoison/peanut sate, Nuoc mam fish sauce dressing or any off the shelf dressing. Today I used my mother's homemade fish sauce with Sriracha and crushed peanuts. The sugar from the dressing definitely adds carbs to the meal. If you are looking for convenience, I would recommend any of the Asian "sesame-ginger" packaged dressings types found on the shelves at the supermarkets.
