No matter how I hungry I was, taking a picture of the food before eating became a ritual during my Southeast Asia trip. Cambodian cuisine was unique and it was zero spicy. I had to pour lots of sauce and ketchup into the food to raise the Scoville scale. Couple of days before the trip I bought a new phone, Samsung J7, hoping that its 13 MP primary camera will fetch me better pictures than my Samsung Note 1’s 8 MP camera. The latter gave excellent pictures during my past adventures. But, food shots taken with J7 were below par.
Menus in restaurants were bi-lingual. It was written in Khmer language along with its translated English name. Whenever I asked for the Cambodian name it led to huge confusion. Here is the list of food that I ate in Cambodia
- Fried chicken with pineapple: Chicken and fruit combo was interesting
- Morning Glory Chicken
- Lok lak with fried rice
- Fried shrimps big noodle and mango shake: Very tasty
- Omelette pork and rice
- Fried shrimps with green pepper
- Chicken pizza and strawberry shake
- Steamed chicken momos
The tiniest Gujab Jamun I have ever seen. I don’t complain as it was complementary. Lol
- Chicken amok and Vietnamese coffee milk
- Tuna sandwich and Banana shake
Still hungry??? Take a look at all of my posts about food.
Looks delicious – always fun trying new foods especially if they are tasty

No Amok? This is a traditional Khmer version made with fish (Snake fish) and very delicious! The chicken and beef are good but the fish is much better 🙂 I was told by a local that anything apart from the fish variety is a variation for the “tourist palate” – great post!

Hi Nilla, thanks for stopping by my blog. Ate Amok (Number 9) at Phnom Pehn airport just before departure. Will definitely try the authentic fish version during my next visit. 🙂

Mouth watering – I loved Laos & Cambodia – 2010 Laos & 2012 Cambodia – didn’t fancy the grilled spiders though . . .
