One thing on every traveller’s mind is the local food scene and where to go to eat amazing authentic dishes – Khmer food is not as well-known as some other Southeast Asian cuisine (like Thai or Vietnamese) but it certainly won’t disappoint!
If you have been travelling around Southeast Asia you would likely be familiar with most of them but if you are brand new to these destinations then here is a quick list: Fish Paste, Fish Sauce, Shrimp Paste, Oyster Sauce, Non-Dairy Milk, Milk Powder, Condensed Milk, Broth, Stock, Cooking Oil, Ghee, Butter, Egg, Mayonnaise and Honey.
Baguettes – Order with salad and herbs instead of with grilled meat
Stir Fry – Order vegetables only without oyster sauce served with steamed rice
Salad – Order popular dishes such as Pomelo or Mango Salad without seafood
You can order fruit salad, fruit shakes, juice, oatmeal or granola, vegetables and rice, rice soup or noodle soup without broth, toast, fresh bread and pastries.
