If they're not gonna make the dish, why even participate....in the last video the guy bought the food. Respect to the other participants who carved out the time in their day to pay respect to this dish (that Ive never had btw)
agreed, they should be disqualified if they just buy sh*t that isn't even accurate
Rithy was so adorably sweet and seemed so genuinely excited to show a bit of his culture and how he was raised.
It’s rare to see our people and our culture in social media, I was shocked to see the title 🇰🇭
Especially Americans
Fellow cambodian American here 😚
Obviously there's a lot out there than you think. I'm American Cambodian. Born and raised in California.
I’m very disappointed by Mary, since she didnt even make the dish. Overall im actually very annoyed by how she is in general, she seems to have no clue about her culture which i hoped for the most in this show. I wished everyone would comment more and elaborate more about their dishes, it made me really feel like none of them even had the dish except Rithy. He was the only person that really intrigued me, because he knew the most and could comment the most and bring out the culture of my home country. Overall im very happy to see my culture on a variety show like this, it is very uncommon. I just hope there could be a better attempt of a video like this. Sorry if thats harsh
Man you can’t have a Cambodian that don’t know the culture she didn’t even make anything lmao
Plastic Cambodian 😂🤣 how embarassing
She is adopted
the girl wasn’t even trying to make the dish, and she was putting up an excuse
Gotta give it to Nick, Robert was throwing so hard giving those low numbers to try to secure his win.
Robert, the meat-kinda-don’t-have-much-flavor-guy. Dude is so insecure and keep saying others’ food are worse with the same exact reason.
As a Cambodian im very happy to watch this thank u so much ❤️🥰
Why did you guys even bother bringing the girl back 🤣🤣😭😭😭you didn’t learn your lesson after the comments from the last video
They did it on purpose.
She's cute, she's there for the thumbnail, pretty gross really.
Looks good on camera?
It was filmed the same day.
The lady here is sooooo misplaced, she doesn't have A CLUE about any cambodian dish. So neither could she rate the dishes nor could she prepare one. If she would have only a tiny tiny dose of interest for cambodian culture and this programm, she could have googled for a good recipe at least.... but she really doesn't care... no problem with that, she was adopted, but at least leave her out of the programm. You can make a series "adoptees searching for their roots", they cook and people from the country they where born in rate the dishes, that would be more fair than this sad performance given by the lady here.....
that would be an interesting series/video.
It’s not that deep bro
what was the point in putting her dish in here lmao
That girl only had one job and not even try to put effort in it…
please try again with a girl that actually understands khmer dishes
It’s not a Khmer dish at all.
« Khor Ko » is a Han ethnic Chinese dish (from Teochew dialect speakers), created in the Chaoshan cultural-linguistic region ➡️ in South of Fujian province & North of Guangdong province borders, Mainland China.
I want a real ethnic Khmer dishes ; not Han Chinese, Viet or Siamese dishes that BuzzFeed finds in Cambodian restaurants in USA.
@@sonynuon1865 I won’t lie I find that surprising?? Idk whether or not what u say is true?? (Not saying ur wrong lol) but I find that a lot of khmer dishes share similarities in dishes with neighboring countries and vice versa. But where did u find about khor ko origins???
@@amisavyn3621they be lying
That girl is adopted that’s why she don’t know much about khmer culture
@@sonynuon1865 Is this dish made exactly the same way in Fujian and Guangdong or has it been altered to suit the taste of Cambodians? Kuy Teav is considered a Cambodian dish. Should we start calling it a Chinese dish? Kuy Teav in Cambodia isn't made the same way in mainland China and that's why it's considered a Cambodian dish. Mee Ka Tang doesn't taste the same as Chow Fun made in a Chinese restaurant. How about we start calling Cambodian curry dishes Indian dishes even though Cambodian curry is nothing like Indian curry. Or how about we start calling every "real Khmer" dishes that contains ingredients found in Ayurveda Indian dishes which would be most if not nearly all Khmer dishes.
Teochew, along with Hokkien, Hainanese, Cantonese and Hakka, have lived in Cambodia for centuries, successfully integrated into Khmer culture, contributing to the Khmer cuisine, and keeps Khmer language, Khmer culture alive by passing it down to the next generation, even when they no longer live in Cambodia, to kids who are born outside of Cambodia. So Khor Ko, the way it's prepared by Cambodians, is considered a Cambodian dish.
I know it's only a buzzfeed competition but as a non Cambodian, I enjoy seeing another people's cultures. Shoutout to the guys that actually participated and put their heart into it. That girl on the other hand, she can f off lol
Time to get new people.
The Eastern Africans must be called to the channel... whose pilau is better and whose eastern African chapati is better?
Also the western Africans... Nigerians can do an Egusi one. And the Senegalese can do the jollof rice...(Jollof rice is originally Senegalese)
I love this! I love jollof. I love also the stew w mashed cassava flour or something
It's gonna be war when the other west Africans see this Jellof comment
I’m so happy we’re seeing more Cambodian food after how the last one went 😂
Hi it’s a Han Chinese dish created in Mainland China, we never consider « Khor Ko » (our traduction) as Khmer.
@@sonynuon1865 is it still commonly eaten in Cambodia?
@@liliyurch2511 It is only eaten where there are chefs of Teochew-Han Chinese origin, even the Kinhs (majority ethnic group in Vietnam) translate this dish into « Bo Kho ».
There is however a difference, Khmers love the version with coconut juice.
Prahok Ktis would've been better here.
BuzzFeed made another video with Teuk Kroeung, Sach Ko Jakak & Nom Banhchok Samlor Khmer.
There are a lot of ethnicities in Cambodia, and we try to respect each culinary culture.
@@sonynuon1865 I never see kokor red like this I only know the green one
There needs to be some set rules. She should not have been allowed to change her score and moving forward contestants should not be allowed to buy their food, bribe the other contestants or not make the actual dish. Just ridiculous
I thought that she made a mistake by giving the first one such a high score because you have no wiggle room to judge the others. So, I don’t mind that she changed her score, but buying the food was unforgivable.
i’ve never met a khmer person who pronounces it “ka-mer”
That’s a whitewashed Cambodian lmao
She was raised by Saw ppl
😂😂😂 I never even spell it the right way! Like “khmer” I spell it Khmai 🤷♂️
This will be interesting, given Mary's previous video w/ cambodian food. I'm definitely curious on her take on the dish.
Plot twist: there was no take on the dish 😂
Plot twist: she ordered take out curry and called it Kor Ko
Plot twist: none of us knew she was adopted until after filming date my plate. This was filmed right after.
Irrelevant. It’s a cooking competition essentially???
I never had Kor Ko, but this looks so good, and I’m my “to try” list.
I mean you should. It’s pretty delicious especially while pairing it with sliced baguettes
PLEASE do taiwanese americans try each other’s popcorn chicken or beef noodle soup!!!!
another video that’s supposed to represent Cambodians but they couldn’t find another girl that knows our culture smh this is disappointing, buzzfeed do better
Mary shouldn’t have bothered.
Please do a redo with actual people who know their culture. Like this is embarrassing.
I’m Cambodian and we do not eat this dish at home. My mom and grandma doesn’t eat beef. I’ve only had Vietnamese bo kho. Never knew there was even a Cambodian version. A dish that we do eat quite often is called kho or “thit kho”, it’s like braised pork with eggs. But man, I’ve been craving bo kho and Korean seafood pancakes😋.
You call yourself Cambodian but you never heard or had Kor Ko? Face palm.
@@heythave it’s a dish that’s not eaten in my family. My mom doesn’t eat beef. It’s been a minute since I’ve had bo kho. 😋
@@WingChunBoyz the two dish you mentioned are Vietnamese. Are you a kampuchea kromg person?
@@heythave thit kho is the braised pork dish aka salar kaw and bo kho is salaw kaw ko. No, I am Cambodian from Cambodia. I can read and understand a little Vietnamese but I am not Khmer Krom.
Thanks for showcasing some Cambodian folks!!! ❤️
WHY IS MARY EVEN HERE!
I don't know! I just know that someone gave her a score of 1! I've never cooked anything before but I think I can beat her tho just by googling the recipe
Wtf she didn't even make anything
She was at a disadvantage, barely flying in to LA the day before
@@nicholassok5797 don't be in the competition then
That girl needs to go. Why they put her on again? She don't even know her own culture 🤦🏾♂️so embarrassing.
It’s not her fault- so it’s not embarrassing. She is trying to learn- that’s the farthest thing from embarrassing… come on. Though I do agree that they should have someone who knows better the culture if they want it to be a ‘competition’ context.
I think we do have to admit that the lack of effort was pretty cringe. They should have just left her out 😂
She adopted by white American parents bro don’t blame her
my party buddy in high school was Cambodian. good times.
She judging and she didn't make it herself...hmm smh
Shoutout to my guy Nick. You’d be 🙏 blessed to have him in your life.
Or Robert! Making all of that!
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT MARY BACK!
Finally Cambodians being represented in some way 😩🥺
But it’s a Han Chinese dish created in Chaoshan cultural-linguistic region in Mainland China. It would be better if the diaspora shows real Khmer ethnic dish.
Omg, yes! Loving the Khmer representation on buzzfeed!
But it’s not a Khmer ethnic food.
I’m very disappointed, « Khor Ko » is just our prononciation of this Han Chinese dish created in Chaoshan cultural-linguistic region (Teochew speakers) of Mainland China.
Even the Viets translate it into « Bo Kho ».
You can really tell who was actually born in Cambodia and who wasn't. Rithy was the only one who pronounced Kor ko correctly and his dish was actually the most authentic. The other's dishes weren't immediately recogniseable as Kor ko to me. Robert's take was interesting tho, I like it. And not trying to hate, why is Mary even here? She didn't make anything and clearly not very familiar with the culture.
Robert and Nick's Kor Ko look good.
Buzzfeed loves to annoy us by inviting her again after the last video
Yo continue this ,we will keep liking and giving it views
Gosh I’m clicking so fast. love the cambodia represent
Someone gave that lady's dish a 1! You like her representing cambodian's dish?
How can you not be prepared? 😬
Mary, you're 30 minutes away from Little Cambodia aka Lowell, Ma. We have a variety of amazing authentic Cambodian/asian restaurants. Come learn a few things
Soo happy seeing Khmer people on here 🥹💕
That girl was just the worst. Ends every sentence with a question mark like a valley girl and didn't even make the dish she was supposed to
Why is she even on here?
Why was william Hung on American got talent?
Yum, I remember my mother making dish for me 🤤🇰🇭🇰🇭
Yesss I ate this a few weeks ago yes I’m Cambodian but my family was from Southeast Asia aka vietnam so we call it bah cash
I love kor ko! 😍😍😍
Interesting Video💖
Someone gave that lady's dish a 1! Lol!!!! No wonder I don't see any Cambodian restaurant in my area!
Everytime I see cambodia outside of cambodian media: *excited cambodian noises*
I feel seen! Thanks!
hi cambodian here
Does Renton count as a Seattle suburb?
I WOULD SAY NICK'S DISH WON!
Yeahhh not a fan of the score change
I need to go in this show LOL I’m of khmer culture too haha
this was an embarrassment for her. first y’all basically set her up in the last video cause as an adoptee she can’t help not knowing any of the dishes, and now for this cooking contest she not only brought in an entirely different dish, but she didn’t even make it herself 💀 these two videos are pretty disappointing for cambodians. it would have been better if each person understood khmer culture and had the circumstances to properly prepare.
Please feature more Khmer dishes
..One shouldn't be able to change their initial score, just be confident enough to stand by the dish you eat!
I love my kor ko sweet n spicy deep with Chinese bread woooo now that’s 🔥🤤
Cambodian here from Boston mass as well 🤭
Heyyy you should do Dominican food swappp
I love being Khmer
I literally beg my parents to make this all the time
that girl man, why even show up. You mixed your leftovers in the house and served these men. jeez
I am shocked that the two guys gave 6 points to the girl. It's NOT even kor ko. It's like ordering a big Mac, and they give you a cheeseburger. I would have given it 0 honestly. The fact she didn't even cook it...why is she even there?!
mmm that pizza looks good!
The video did not need her at all. what a joke
Mee Jow, she made chicken curry 😂😂
Omg 😂😂😂 I literally though the same thing
Wanna call her Mee Kon lop if I ever see her in person 😡 do better Buzzfeed!
That’s harsh.
gotta try Cambodian food
They need to film themselves cooking it like on the other ones or cook it on set .
Did Mary try and off all the other contestants? :)
Kor ko is my favorite food khmer food 🇰🇭🤍
Rithy's looks grandma approved
0:17 same
Why Kor ko? Not Salaw majew? 😐
We really shoulda done that. We messed up 😅🙇🏽♂️
koh ko pizzza lol interesting
Ho nice to see you me too Cambodia 👏👏❤️💕💜
We make ours more soupy in my family and it's more brown. I've seen Vietnamese versions to be more orange red.
In my family we don't make it as reduced and braised, but we do add eggs, and of course use beef. We don't make the pork versions. We also add carrot occasionally. It's supposed to be peppery in my opinion, but sweet and salty. Palm sugar is supposed to be glazed up before adding the beef and broth
These do not look authentic for Cambodian y'all.
Me @ Robert’s dish, is he single??
The way the first guy who explained his dish said Khmer erks me
try Fish amok, not Kor Koh. "the authentic one", the steamed fish amok
MARY BASICALLY MADE NOTHING!
“P nom Peng” 💀
6:18 I had to fast forward, her voice started to grate on my nerves a little bit.
6:45 nahhh bro is she khmer?
I clicked on the video based on two keywords…Cambodian and kor ko. I was curious what in the world is Kor Ko. Lol. When the volume came on, it took a moment to realize…Kaw Ko. 😂 cute take though. Based on what I saw…I’d say Nick wins but with the consistency of Robert’s though. Mary’s is so off.
Oh my god. Why was this chick even here? 🤦♀️
Cambodian Americans try each other’s “KAW” MMMMMMHMMM 🤤
Since I love pizza, I liked Robert's take on the dish...and aww, Mary's dish, lol...:( but I think given the circumstances and info she told us from a past video, it's understandable.
How is it understandable? It’s a cooking contest 😂 Circumstances are irrelevant
Damn no hard boiled eggs or pork belly in of them
The Ko in Kho Ko means beef. The pork belly and eggs version is Kho Jrook (pork) it is more caramelised and not as soupy 🙂
@@leesamizpee7331 true ya your right. My mom uses beef but she adds pork belly and hard boiled eggs since the broth is so rich in flavour, I guess it more so of an extra thing
Mary smh why
I'm Cambodian American. Am i trippin, or is somlor korko supposed to be very earthy tasting with tons of veggies and squash? Aint it normally yellow looking with tumeric seasoning?
I think your refering to Samlaw kako
What Cambodian parent allowed her to call in P Nom Pen
please stop bringing mary on this show she is embarrassing as a khmer person
Hi we called « Khor Ko » in Khmer, but this dish wasn’t created in Cambodia.
This soup comes from the Chaoshan cultural-linguistic region in China (North of Guangdong province & South of Fujian province borders) ; and was only imported by Teochew dialect speakers - Han ethnic Chinese refugees.
Wow, you know so much. It would be interesting to listen to you talk.
The producer did that girl dirty. Unless they didn't know her background they were wrong to have her on the show. She embarrassed herself and looked like a fool to everyone. I feel bad for her that she was taken advantage and bamboozled by the producers but she probably shouldn't participate d if her knowledge was low to begin with.
Did that Cambodian guy just pronounce Khmer like a white guy
Robert why don’t you just give everyone else zero so you can win all the time? Zero respect to the food. Can’t believe someone can be such a hardcore fanboy to themselves.
