Cambodian
Food
A typical Cambodian
meal would normally consist of a soup, a salad, a main fish dish, vegetables
and rice. A Cambodian dessert, normally based on fresh fruits and sticky rice,
complement the meal.
Fish amok is steamed in
a banana leaf, while more local places serve a boiled version that is more like
a soupy fish curry than a mousse.
A Khmer noodle is a
beloved Cambodian dish. A Khmer noodle is a typical breakfast food. The dish
consists of noodles laboriously pounded out of rice, topped with a fish-based
green curry gravy made from lemongrass, turmeric root and kaffir lime.
The grilled squid are
brushed with either lime juice or fish sauce and then barbecued on wooden
skewers and served with a popular Cambodian sauce, originally from Kampot, made
from garlic, fresh chilies, fish sauce, lime juice and sugar.
Cambodian sausage made
from beef or pork and various spices. Just like any good homemade sausage, the
authentic Khmer sausage contains at least 20-25% fat.
The beauty of Cambodia
goes far beyond the famous Angkor Wat ruins or the charm of the Khmer people’s
simple life style. The country’s food culture is also not to be missed. In the
Khmer diet, rice and freshwater fish play big roles because of the abundance of
both.
