Kudo to the local guide for giving you such insightful recommendations as well. You show much respect for our way of lives, too. I salivate watching this. :) Come back again soon. Much love

    The green curry dish looks like nom prachok. Still homemade in a lot of Cambodian homes in America. The broth is often made with fish that’s been very finely broken up. Definitely a uniquely Cambodian dish

      Cambodian food given to foreigners is usually so “dumbed down” that it ends up as a bland generic Asian food. Cambodians, though they are very proud of their food, rarely give the real versions of their cuisine to foreigners, thinking that they won't like it.
      If Cambodians would let outsiders eat their food, including prohok, foreigners would have a much different perspective.

If you have more time in Cambodia, go to Koh Rong island where the sand is very white and beautiful or Siem Reap for ancient temples. Also side note: people usually eat the beef stew with noodles where the stew act like the soup or dip baguette in there.

    Should give fish amok another try. It’s like you said a steam dish and it’s a very aromatic great curry that is more like a paste. It’s one of my favorite dishes made by my grandma. I would say you should try going outside of the capital the food will be a little different with a twist. Just like Thailand the different regions have differences in food to offer.

      In Thailand have a similar dish, but we call it Hor Mok and from this video the texture seems very different than the Cambodian Amok. The Thai version is not watery, but more firm, but I don't know if Amok is supposed to be watery or not?

    It's been years since I've visited Cambodia. Some of the foods you tried are newer versions of classic favorites or has Chinese or Vietnamese influences. Fried bananas are traditionally heavily battered and sprinkled with black sesame seeds. Beef stew is typically served with rice noodles or baguettes and has carrots in it. And, your research is correct; Amok is steamed. The surface of a correct version looks smooth like the surface of poached eggs and paste-like once you spoon into it. And it's totally normal to see shredded kafir like leaves sticking out; they're edible decorations. The 2 versions you were served looked more like fish curry. Next time you visit Cambodia, go to any of the beach towns in Komong Som and order the stir fry crab with fresh green peppercorns. The peppercorns are locally grown in the Kompot Province. You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your Food Tour Experience!

    When I eat Amok I like to have veggies on the side. It balance out the flavor very well. Especially like cucumbers or eggplants it’s good for veggies dip. Also if you’re looking for the creamy type of Amok they usually have a coconut milk base on top. But yea Phnom Penh is not known for traditional dishes in Cambodia. You wanna go to Siem Reap for that. Battambang & Siem Reap It’s the root of Khmer traditional food.

    In every country there is something called "Auntie/Granny Cooking". It is one of the international things that binds us together. No matter where you go in the world you can find one older lady over a piping hot pot making something that will make you hungry even if you just ate.

      Cambodian food given to foreigners is usually so “dumbed down” that it ends up as a bland generic Asian food. Cambodians, though they are very proud of their food, rarely give the real versions of their cuisine to foreigners, thinking that they won't like it. If Cambodians would let outsiders eat their food, including prohok, foreigners would have a much different perspective.

      Congee originally came from China but when the rest of Asia picked up their influence they developed their own version with own flavours.
      An example is the Cambodian congee
      Chinese congee and
      Arroz caldo (filipino congee)

    The Amok should definitely have a steamed texture, not runny. It should be kind of like a delicate soufflé with chunks of fish and the green noni leaf at the bottom, finished with a bit more coconut cream and then julienned chilli and kaffir lime leaf. You should give it another try at a place that does it properly - or make it at home (it's actually easy to make).
