Cambodia has a rich culinary heritage, with a cuisine that's infused with bold flavours and aromatic spices. One of the most popular dishes to try is Fish Amok, a flavorful curry made with coconut milk, kroeung (a paste made of herbs and spices), and freshwater fish, all steamed in a banana leaf cup. Another must-try is Khmer Red Curry, a deliciously spicy curry made with meat or fish, coconut milk, lemongrass, and galangal, served with rice or noodles. Nom Banh Chok is a flavorful noodle dish topped with a fish-based green curry, fresh vegetables, and herbs. Seafood lovers should try Kampot Pepper Crab, a dish that features fresh crabs cooked with the famous Kampot pepper, while Num Pang is a Cambodian-style sandwich with a French baguette filled with meat, pickled vegetables, and a spicy sauce. You can find these at any restaurant in Siem Reap. If you’re looking for elevated, gourmet versions, your resort such as Anantara Angkor Resort will serve a splendid spread.
