Often overshadowed by the reputation of food from neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia’s cuisine also has a range of delicious dishes.
Cambodians use more herbs and less spices than other Southeast Asian countries, but they will often include chopped chillies and garlic in alot of their dishes.
In this video we give you 10 Delicious dishes of Cambodia.
Please excuse my pronunciation of the Cambodian terms!
1. Fish Amok.
Fish Amok is generally known as Cambodia’s signature dish and this creamy curry can be found virtually everywhere in Cambodia.
