I left Cambodia 50 years ago, currently a retired trained chef in the US. I plan to stop by to sample the food at Khmer Taste Noodles in January 2025. Can’t wait! Appreciate the info. Thank you for all your informative great videos.
Shouldn’t the Amok be cooked in a banana leaf? Have you visited the 8th World Wonder Angkor wat yet? I want to visit one day. I love Cambodian food ever since my Cambodian friends introduced me to them. I feel Cambodian food is so underrated and even in USA, there aren’t many Cambodian restaurants either. Their food is influenced by China and India but they also have their own authentic Cambodian cuisines. You should also try: 1) Cambodian Sausages (twako) 2) Their Lemongrass Paste Chicken Stir Fry (Cha Kreung, one of my favorites) 3) Chicken Cucumber Salad 4) Cambodian Lemongrass Beef Sticks 5) Shrimp Mango Salad 6) Prahok Ktiss These are off the top of my head but there are more. Cambodia use to be an empire governing most of south east Asia, so many foods, particularly desserts and snacks from the neighboring countries, especially thailand, were taken from Cambodia without much acknowledgment and appreciation. That includes tradition, culture, art, architecture, royal court etiquette, etc… I hear that Amok cooked in banana leaf is the way it is traditionally made and it’s more flavorful that way. I also learned from my friends that Amok use to be a dish that was served to the King, Royal Family, the upper class, and Aristocrats of Cambodia. Then, it later became a dish served to the general public ( similar to their Royal Court Dance, which was initially designed to entertain the King and His Royal Family), but not many people in the rural areas are aware of it. I hope you do more videos of Cambodia. Happy Travels! 😊
You are correct. I didn't realize what that was called but I went back to the Prohok towards the end of the video and it hit me that it was indeed fermented fish
Hi there, thanks for the question. Some of this went home with me and some of it was given to someone who needed it much more than I did. That is the case in almost every video I film as I am not doing a mukbang. And sometimes my girlfriend is with me who does not want to appear on camera so there are actually two of us eating.
Not noticeably, no. To me anyway, Elf. That's why I didn't talk about it on camera much. But at least you know where they are coming from which is not normally the case.
Another awesome blog!!! I will devour everything but the fried quail, too gamey for me, the escargots and the snake head fish! Another shoutout for me ❤❤❤ Made my day! I will try Mam Nem but I think it is similar to the Fish Bagoong (Anchovy Sauce), which is also fermented and pungent but amazingly tasty! If you had Pakbet Ilocano in the Philippines, it was in it. For the record, I eat beef tripe 😅. Thank you very much, Geoff!!! Take care!! Where is Em? Edit: By the way, your proficiency in chopstick is getting better❤❤❤
Thanks for the kind words, Sadohr. I have had a Buro in the Philippines which I believe is the Philippines version of a fermented fish sauce. The couple of times I had it, the aroma is not overwhelmingly powerful like these are. This smells like rotting animals and sour milk. So disgustingly smelly, but tastes unbelievably delicious. Em is back in Cambodia na. She can only be here for 30 days at a time with her passport.
@@PureDetour Oh I see. Never had buro. I am not an adventurous eater. Fish sauce is patis, amber in colour while bagoong isda is murky brown and really pungent. They are both amazingly tasty though! Cannot wait for your next video! Take care 😊
@@PureDetour burong isda/hipon has rice. bagoong isda/monamon/balayan is pure fermented fish and is a brown/greyish thick liquid/sauce with fish bits or a paste. the oil that floats on top after it's made is patis. it stinks but adds a lot of umami to a dish. i can only eat it when cooked with other food, not as a dipping sauce (yech) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234688/
@@PureDetour dang, i wrote a whole essay with reference on how buro and bagoong isda are different and it didn't get posted. too lazy to rewrite but here's the ref: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK234688/
@oxoelfoxo, you’re correct, I don’t know why I keep thinking buro is a fermented fish paste when it is fermented rice. And if I am not mistaken you and I just had this conversation not long ago. So I once again stand corrected. Will be on the lookout for bagoong isda upon my return to the Philippines. Know if anywhere that serves it in Manila?

Usually yes, Amok is steamed in banana leaves. Surprisingly I had twice in Siem Reap where it wasn't

it's Khmer noodle with prohok (the khmer fish fermented). Thanks❤❤❤
I think your first dish have the mixing of prohok and pork too. 🎉🎉🎉
You are correct. I didn't realize what that was called but I went back to the Prohok towards the end of the video and it hit me that it was indeed fermented fish
@@PureDetour yes, it is.
Awesome!!!! Great video Geoff! First to comment!❤
looks awesome man WOW
Thank you so much!
I'm here so welcome to Cambodia my country ❤️
Thank you my friend
If u eat it with rice, It does yummy.
thanks for the tips❤️
Yumy
yes indeed
love your video sir🎉
Thank you so much my friend
Crab has a lot of work for a little morsel. Low ROI.😂 You need to refine your descriptors. "Oil slick" on your amok? Yum!😂
Oil slick sounds delicious to me, Darryl 😂
But yes, way too much work for the ROI with crabs.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The greens leafy in the Amok is Noni leaves.
Perfect, thank you so much my friend❤️
❤❤❤
❤️
Have you been to that restaurant in Tagaytay here in the Philippines that are made out of Hut overlooking Taal
Lake!
Make me hungry 😋
❤
Thank you
Who's eating all this food? Just curious about the leftovers.

do the noodles taste different tho?
