3 pages in and 5 dishes. Says everything you need to know really. Hardly a foodies' paradise.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

i love the Cambodian style pancakes>
very thin batter with minced pork and bean sprouts usually with onions as well (but i dont eat onions), dipped in a spicy peanut sauce
Cambodian Amok vs Thai Hor mok >>> Hor mok wins hands down
Lok lak is good, but all depends on the pepper sauce

Those thin, packed pancakes were one of my favourites- there was a little old lady on a peddle-trike used to do them on 110. I never quite got the name right- sounded a little like Ban Cho li.

Re: What is some of the best food in Cambodia? Or food that is traditional to Cambodia?
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.Freightdog wrote:Salt and MSG.
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.
She grew up without food having heavy Prahok and loads of salt, sugar, or MSG. Consistently having cooked food was a luxury.
