First Time Trying Cambodian/Khmer Food 

Really enjoying your travels around south east Asia and the food in Cambodia looks very interesting!

Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭

Welcome to Cambodia❤

Just want to tell you the leaf that you had mentioned in your vdo is called Maroum english name is moringa. Glad to see you tried traditional Khmer foods which most foreigners don’t know. By the way, enjoy your time in Cambodia.😊👍

I left the country back in 1979 after I had to live through the genocide under Pol Pot killing madness. Most of my family members did not survive as we were forced to move out of the Phnom Penh City in 1975 to work in the rice fields. I've returned to visit my sole surviving sister every year for the last ten years since my retirement from Minnesota , US to heal the past. It's very safe to visit Cambodia now as the country has come a long way since the prolonged civil war was officially ended in 1998. Be mindful of your surroundings . Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible as life is short to do the things we don't love doing. Happy and safe travels from a genocide survivor ✌️

The egg you were eating is made from permated salty fish and mix with egg. We usually eat it with the vegetable wrapping around because the fish will make it salty. If you like spicy, you can eat it with fresh cut chilli. Almost every Cambodian love that dish because it feel like home made foods anywhere you go.

Those picture stones are really fascinating. Desert scenes.

I can’t get over those tangles of wires above the streets. It’s amazing the whole city hasn’t burned down! The food, however, looked pretty good.

I am an American who was introduced to delicious Cambodian foods by Cambodian friends from church. I was blown away by their delicious and unique flavors. I crave it often. Thankfully, I just go to my friend’s house and they make them for me. They frequently invite me over for dinner. Those foods you were served would not be top recommendations. Why would they recommend those?Top delicious foods in my opinion are: 1) Cambodian Sausages (Twako) 2) Lemongrass Beef Skewers paired with Cambodian Papaya Salad. 3)Cambodian Amok (National Traditional Dish: It’s a fish coconut curry custard served in a banana leaf pocket) I prefer shrimp, chicken, or scallop amok, but they mostly make fish amok, which is the traditional one. I learned that this dish was only cooked and served to royals and upper class people back in ancient times. Only many years later, the commoners were able to eat them as well. 4) Cucumber Chicken Salad 5) Lemon Grass Beef or Chicken stir fry (Cha Kreung Chicken or Beef) 6) Lemongrass Sweet and Sour Beef soup (Somlaw Majoo Kreung… sorry for my mispronunciations or Misspelling Cambodians) 7) Cambodian Yellow or Red Curry with Noodles or Baguettes 8) Shrimp Mango Salad 9) Fermented Fish Paste with Steak and Vegetables for Dipping (Prahok w/ Steak and Veggies) 10) Prahok Ktiss 11) Fish Gravy Noodles (Nom Banjok) 12) Cambodian Pickle Slaw 13) Beef on a Bed of Lettuce and Tomatoes with Black Pepper Lemon Lime Sauce (Beef Lok Lak) 14) Cambodian Papaya Salad 15) Fish Cakes (Prahut Trey) 16) Fish Lime Gravy with Vegetables for Dipping (Thuk Trey). I again prefer Chicken. 17) Chicken or Beef Morning Glory Soup 18) Cambodian Chicken Skewers 19) Ginger Stir Fry Chicken The Khmer Empire ruled most of Southeast Asia from the 9-15 century and preceded neighboring countries. Most things in art, architecture, royal etiquette, culture, tradition, dance, royal court dance, foods, etc… heavily influenced or taken by the neighbors. Some like Thais took them and claimed them as their own, like stealing. They still do it to this day unfortunately. Anyway, happy travels and happy eating! 😊

Thanks for sharing your experience in Cambodia!

I love watching you guys try new foods and figuring out how to eat it, such a fun journey 😃

Both of you are very brave to try those two dishes and that just a fancy restaurant, the local one hit harder when it comes to taste. Oh and also you’ll never get used to the heat i been over there for a whole year traveling across Cambodia on a motorbike and i just keep sweating from the first day til the last.😂🤣 Good luck guys and have a safe journey!

The picture stone is really pretty. 😍

Welcome to Cambodia ❤🙏

Hi! Friend watching from Cali, Cambodia has 4 seasons , Rain season, dry season , summer season , spring season . Thank you for visiting Cambodia . Cambodia always eat soup or broth with rice that’s why they serve also rice . The soup name is Kor Koh fish it’s really good made of lemony grass and similar ingredient as curry . Leave is Moringa . Usually the side vege pieces , we ate with a dipping flavor sauce you’ll need to ask them or order side sauce that’s goes along with the vege. The green crunchy thin it’s very good it’s also goes with dipping sauce or with the eggs omelette pastry fishes that was on the same entrees that should be consume with the egg fish omelette .

The fried egg has fermented fish in it, it has strong flavor, that's why they come with vegetables, (now i understand that dish) but they should introduce it to you.

Welcome to Cambodia 🙏🇰🇭, I recommend best food of Cambodia is Amok and Beef Lok Lak.

I like that traditional style coffee. :D . It remined me about my childhood. Love you from Cambodia.

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

Great price on the coffee and cell phone plans ! Fun to try some new kinds of food ! It always looks good on camera :) So different there, they even have hanging pigs, lol Just had to mention those little pigs hanging. That is something you would never see back in the states. Such a interesting video to watch :)

Those are real Cambodian foods. Most foreigners like the fusion kind of foods because they are familiar with them. Stirred fry stuffs mostly relates to Chinese foods. There are Chinese Cambodians. I'm pretty sure that was sailor koe ko. Samlor means food. Ko means stir. As you see the dish. They stirred vegetables and fish together.

Much love your videos.thanks . welcome to Cambodia.❤❤

Thanks for sharing

Great job trying the food

Welcome to Cambodia ❤

Delicious! Everything looked really good except the humidity. I can definitely handle the Las Vegas heat just as long as the humidity stays below 5%. Lol.. Watch out for those tuk tuks Charlie! Stay safe and RockOn!!!

I can't get over how insane it looks to drive over there. It's a free for all! Lol! Sorry, I'm not one for food videos. But, I gave it the ole thumbs up anywho 😁👍 I saw a bit of yalls live the other night, but I was in bed and was too tired to chat. Sorry bout that. Have a great week, Charlie n Liz! 👋😊

Very nice video my friend

Nice review

Wow $14.28 for cell service including phone that's cheap compare to the USA. Food looks good ... also cheap. Traffic is stressful !!!

The green thick vegetable that you showed it call winged bean

there should be a dip with the veg plate. mix veg as you like, dip and eat :)

Have Fun guys & Safe Travels!! 😳😳😳💪🙏🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🥰🥰

In Cambodia the climate looks hotter than in Vietnam 28:39 / 28:39

No sidewalks, vendors take over the sidewalk.

The temp sounds like Southern Illinois. Real feel of 94 and 98 is tolerable. 😅. Have fun on Cambodia, it should be a great adventure.

Most food that they sell there mostly you will eat with rice

The way the wires overhead are like spider webs is so interesting, definitely 3rd worldish!

If I can ask, what phone store, did you go to, to get your sim cards and plan? Great Vlog. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty interesting about your content. If you’re able to make more deeper Cambodian culture even more interesting my dear. Love to watches your video as always. Thanks

americans going abroad: 1 where is mcdonalds or other fastfood place? 2 where is starbucks? 3 things are sooo different here 4 oh look people are so thin here..and healthy.

Those leaves are moringa leaves. Honestly someone there should have explained to you both how to enjoy them.

At the restaurant 11 min. in, you break apart the mound of rice and spoon the curry soup over it.

Oh, u wrap the fried egg with the vegetables.

I can’t do the fish head soup. I know because I’ve had a different version but I couldn’t get it down 😅

It’s truly amazing how anyone could recommend these dishes for you both. It’s not palatable for westerners unless you’re there in Cambodia for a long while. I feel bad.

They needs to fix The streets it old in the 70. Seam Reap a little walkable.

nice

Not a snakehead, but a kind of catfish.

Some different foods there should come with instructions . its 80+ humidity m 95 + degrees here and feels like hell , and in 60 years still not use to it 😅

Everything is new again and you have to relearn a new country, just like you did Vietnam when you first got there! Unfortunately, by the time you start getting used to it, you will be off to another new country! Lol! Well you tried! Lmao! And us Asians eat weird stuff, but it's good! I learned young not to ask dad what was in things! 😂 It's good to see you out, even in that heat! You guys are going to freeze to death when you come home! Stick to the American food! Which will be nothing like it should be. Oh well!❤ Thanks for the tour guys!❤

What is the name and location of the sim card store you bought from?

Shouldn't the vegetables come with dipping sauce ? I think they left that out.

💖😋🥰

❤❤❤❤❤❤

i like korko with chicken than fish. less bone 😂

They should filled the fish make sure no borne

rice is bread lke american, you dip bread. we dip rice

Some of the things (like the picture stones wall) looked interesting but mostly it looks very drab & sad color wise in Cambodia. Besides the people not being real friendly, how the **** did that tutut driver hit you Charlie? If he couldn't see you, he should not be driving. JMO The food, minus the fish head, looked pretty good though.

No ocean breezes.

How to eat?? silly guys! just dipping the vegetables with the soup sauces & add rice etc!🤣🤣🤣!!! lol

bro just eat it!

Wing beans. It I don't really like that, bean.

I’m sorry watching you guys eat really frustrated me to the max, 😅.

dont understand how anyone can wear long sleeves in southeast asia, it is baking hot!

Samlor Kako.. Cambodian ratatouille ..

I actually like Cambodia, but very hot and still a bit 3rd worldish…..

BBQ dog

You don't know how to eat Khmer food?

You don't know how to eat 😅

At that time, France was under its control, occupying Siam in 1899. The ignorant Khmer refused to accept the fact that they were enslaved by the people. Thailand since the Ayutthaya period for 400 years. And the point is, this museum in france has been around for 230 years. There is real history in the French museums.
