Everyone has tried Thai and Vietnamese specialities before they hit the region, but
Khmer cuisine remains under the culinary radar.
Amok
(baked fish with lemongrass, chilli
and coconut) is the national dish, but sumptuous seafood and fresh-fish dishes are plentiful,
including Kep crab infused with Kampot pepper. It wouldn't be Asia without street snacks
and Cambodia delivers everything from noodles
(mee)
and congee (
bobor;
rice porridge) to
deep-fried tarantulas and roasted crickets. With subtle spices and delicate herbs, Cambodi-
an food is an unexpected epicurean experience.
