Cambodian Amok vs Thai Hor mok >>> Hor mok wins hands down

Lok lak is good, but all depends on the pepper sauce

It’s a small bone of contention as I don’t use much, let alone a lot, of salt when cooking. The other half has jars of sugar, salt and MSG which I truly want to nail down and superglue shut.

There’s a much simpler solution for me. I just tell missus - don’t go to her friends house to eat much. Also don’t go to the Khmer parties too much. Whenever she goes, she gets a cough and sore throat. Same with me.

She grew up without food having heavy Prahok and loads of salt, sugar, or MSG. Consistently having cooked food was a luxury.
