Khmer food, a Cambodian delight


Who would have ever thought I would be enjoying the food in Cambodia!? For me, it has this amazing blend of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine that combined just beautifully. The dishes were hot, but just right and the mixture of curries, spices and herbs left me in awe and a craving to order some more.

There one main dish I would recommend, which are the Amok, a traditional dish, usually prepared with fish, but has often been substituted with chicken, lobster or even prawns and the 2 main ingredients would be the coconut milk and turmeric. The additional ingredients of onion, garlic, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, fish sauce, sugar and paprika, just make this dish even more flavorful.

So, if the opportunity of trying Khmer food is before you, grab it and savor every bit of it!
