Khmer cuisine, less known than that of its imposing neighbors, Thailand and Vietnam, is a cuisine with subtle flavors that nevertheless deserves to be known and tamed.
It is a varied cuisine based on the freshness, freshness of herbs and aromatics from markets or gardens, spices, fruits and vegetables of endless varieties, combining spicy, sour and sweet flavors in balance ...
You will see Cambodians snacking throughout the day and understand that food holds a special place in everyday life. If you linger a little longer in front of the menus of the local restaurants, you will be surprised by the variety of dishes and preparations that you can taste there.
Thus, breakfast becomes a meal in its own right, with its morning specialties of noodles, rice and other salty dishes that everyone will not fail to take, before starting a long day of work in one of these small stalls that border the streets early in the morning, attracted by the aroma of soups on the fire for hours already.
During your lunches and dinners, you will decorate your essential portion of rice with various dishes to share ... Meals, shared with the family, traditionally consist of a stir-fried dish, soup and white rice.
Somlor or Sngao, soups with spicy and tangy flavors, meat or vegetable dishes Char –sautés– grilled fish and small salads of all kinds ... at home and in the restaurant, it's a minute cooking, just spicy and always tasty that you can enjoy together.
Finally, you will find throughout the day at the market or in the street unique small dishes and other snacks that you can nibble for a few hundred riel ... Fruits, spring rolls and other papaya salads, crisp fried insects but not very tasty , fried or grilled small cakes… you will inevitably find some to your taste… It would be a shame not to sit down at one of these stands and not be tempted!
If you are still not sated, a stop at a dessert stand might give you that sweet touch that you will appreciate ...
