Where to find the best food in Cambodia?
Local cuisine in Cambodia
Cambodian cuisine is known for its great use of freshwater fish, as the country is home to many waterways. Fish amok is a traditional Khmer dish, featuring fish steamed in banana leaves, with curry. For meat eaters, stir-fried pork curries are hearty and satisfying. In general, you can also expect great noodle dishes and for snacks, be sure to eat the local street food!
In the capital of Phnom Penh, a couple good restaurants to try out for regional flavours include Eleven One Kitchen, and a short tuk tuk ride from the centre, Mok Mony. As for local beverages, be sure to try teuk ampau, sugarcane juice, and teuk trolok, fruit smoothies you can order at juice stalls you'll find all over.
