Cambodian Cuisine

A gorgeous curry, with tofu and potato,
served in a carved out pineapple - a
mildly sweet and delicious result.
Cambodian cuisine, or Khmer cuisine, is known for a few main dishes. We tried two: amok, a coconut soup with a fish-sauce base, and much later in our trip, lok lak - thin-sliced marinated beef, in a peppery lime sauce. Both are fantastic.

There were also many curry dishes, fried rice, fried yellow noodles, and fried vegetable dishes. Fried morning glory was a common one on menus - but we don't think it was actually morning glory, but a type of spinach. 

Frog is a popular dish too - we didn't try it. From what we heard, the cooking process is rather brutal - we stuck mainly to tofu and chicken.

As for drinks, I fell in love with the coffee shakes - and we also had some excellent mango shakes (just mango puree, blended with a little ice and sugar).


A beautiful soup - glass noodle and tofu, and lots
of veggies
A great soup with a fried egg on top -
Devlin really liked this kind of soup
