Phnom Penh is far and away the best place to try inexpensive
Khmer cuisine, though Siem Reap also has some good restaurants. One of the
easiest and most affordable ways to acquaint yourself with Khmer cooking is to
wander into the food stalls found in markets all over the country and simply
sample each dish before deciding what to eat. In Phnom Penh you also have the
choice of excellent Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, French and Mediterranean cooking.
Rice is the principal staple in Cambodia and the Battambang
region is the country's rice bowl. Most Cambodian dishes are cooked in a wok, known
locally as a chhnang khteak.
Traditional Khmer Food
Samlo Kako
1. Samlor Kako: is one of Cambodian national dishes. It uses
an incredible range of ingredients to achieve its complex range of flavors, including
the famous prahok or fermented fish cheese, which is unique to Khmer cuisine.
Khmer Soup
2. Khmer Sour Soup: A bowl of fresh Khmer sour soup helps
the body feel refreshed and clean, leaving just enough room for dessert. Sour
soup is among the most popular Khmer foods. For years, this vegetable stew has
fed hardworking Cambodians, particularly in the countryside where ingredients
are easily found in neighboring pastures and ponds. Today, city dwellers enjoy
this dish as a healthy alternative to fried bananas and fish. Expatriates
living in Cambodia
also are realizing the healthy benefits of eating a diet of fresh fish and
water green, the base of Khmer sour soup.
