A tour to any other country will never be complete without having a taste of its unique cuisine. Among the highlights of Cambodia trip is the food which comes as a surprise to many visitors. Known as the “Khmer Cuisine”, the country’s dishes are similar to the food found in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos but Cambodian cuisine is less spicy and possesses its own distinct touches.

If you want to delve into Cambodia’s best dishes, take a look at the following house recommendations which are easily acceptable to your palate.

• Khmer Curry - A dish that is sweet and not too spicy bursting with flavors including garlic, turmeric, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves.
• Amok Fish - Deemed as the national dish by many Cambodians, the fish is cooked in a creamy and thick coconut sauce with “kroeung”, a combination of spices that includes saffron, lemongrass and garlic.
• Cambodian Barbecue - This meal has a heavy pot filled with burning coals placed at the center and a metal dome is on top, rubbed with fat and butter. The person selects meat or fish to be grilled.
• Palm Sugar – You can find this sold at the market stalls. Palm sugar is a tasty confection made from boiled palm juice.

Me and my classmates usually dine at a nearby Cambodian restaurant after our phlebotomy training classes. But I would love to taste authentic Cambodian delicacies served in the country. I’d surely look forward to getting a taste of the aforementioned Cambodian delights when I’m finally able to visit Cambodia.
