1. Amoke Fish (Fish Amoke)
Amoke is one of the most famous Cambodian foods, but you can see similar foods in neighboring countries. Amoke fish made with local spice slokgor is slightly bitter, which makes the Cambodian version easy to distinguish from other versions.
Smoked fish is a fresh fish. Mousse with coconut milk and sauce. Kroeung is a Khmer curry sauce, which is made of lemon vanilla, turmeric, garlic, onion, galangal and China ginger. High-end restaurants steam Amoke fish on banana leaves, and street food stalls cook it into thick soup curry fish instead of Mu Si.
2. Cambodian spring rolls (fresh spring rolls)
Cambodian spring rolls are similar to our pancake rolls. Fresh vegetable rolls are dipped in the pancake sauce. There is also a kind of spring rolls called DeepFriedSpringRoll, which is our fried spring rolls. Each family has different fillings and dips, which are delicious.
Pork is one of the simplest and most delicious foods in Cambodia, and it appears on the streets all over the country every morning.
Sliced meat is naturally sweet, because it is slowly roasted on a charcoal fire. Sometimes pork is soaked in coconut juice or garlic juice. Put the roast pork on a large portion of rice, add fresh pickled cucumber, radish and a lot of ginger. There is usually a bowl of chicken soup covered with green onions and fried onions.
3. Khmer red curry
Khmer curry is not as spicy as Thai curry. Coconut juice is also used as the base, but don't put too much pepper. There are beef, chicken or fish, eggplant, mung bean, fresh coconut milk, lemon vanilla and kroeung sauce. Due to the influence of French culture, Khmer red curry is often eaten with bread.
This dish is usually served in Cambodian special occasions, such as weddings, family gatherings or religious festivals, such as the Day of the Dead and Tomb-Sweeping Day.
4. Sour fish (Samli Mahtri)
Sour fish soup is a home-cooked dish of Cambodians, which is convenient and quick to make and has a unique taste. The ingredients of this dish include fish, garlic, citronella, celery, tamarind juice, bean sprouts and pineapple, seasoned with sugar, fish sauce and salt.
5. Cambodia hotpot
Cambodian hot pot is similar to our small hot pot, with a small pot of soup, a plate of beef, a plate of fresh vegetables (including some bananas/plantains), a plate of transparent round cakes and a plate of dipping sauce. Put the sliced meat in a hot pot, dip two small round cakes in water and put them in an empty plate. At this time, the meat is cooked, put it on the cake, and then put on fresh vegetables. At this time, the cake is soft, so roll it up and dip it in seasoning.
6. Amoke (Amoke)
This is one of the most popular traditional Khmer dishes in Amoke, which can be eaten in almost all Cambodian restaurants. The method is to barbecue with banana leaves or other materials, then add coconut juice, coconut milk, lemon leaves, local vegetables and various spices, then add cooking ingredients, and finally put them into coconut shells or porcelain bowls, which is very local. Generally speaking, there are several different choices, such as fish, chicken and beef.

In OldMarket, a restaurant run by westerners in Siem Reap, the meal fee for two people is basically 10 (the most basic two dishes are accompanied by two bowls of white rice).

In the hot noon, I sat at the table by the window on the second floor, drinking cold Angkor beer, reading my beloved novel, and waiting for the summer heat to pass. It is Angkor's dream to taste delicious Khmer food and round taste buds by candlelight on the dining table. The famous Khmer cuisine restaurant also serves Thai food.
