Morning glory (tra kuen),
amongst one of the most treasured vegetables in Cambodia, with its richness in
flavor and vitamins attributed to the rich soil which it is grown in. The
delicious essence of the oyster sauce, truly compliments this delicious leafy
and abundant vegetable.
Nom Ban Chok (Cambodian
noodle), is one of the favorites for locals and tourists in Cambodia. The
essence of curry combines beautifully with the noodles and the
texture of the
vegetables: morning glory, cucumber, sprouts, and string beans and to spice it
up, add a little matey (chili). The look of it is quite appealing with the
decorative prolot (lotus stem), which is a beauty of nature, attractive to the
eye and fulfilling to the appetite.
BROHEOR (ប្រហើរ)
These delicious parades of
flavors come together in this delicious soup, with yes, the most popular
ingredient being the base, prahok. It is a soup that is a meal in itself,
consisting of leafy vegetables, such as chili leaves and the exotic various
herbs of the Cambodian Kingdom.
NHOIM TROYONG CHIEK (ញាំត្រយូងចេក)
Nhoim Troyong Cheit is a
delicious and refreshing salad complimented by the tasty banana flower (troyong
cheit) accompanied by tasty chopped bits of nuts, onion, lemon and carrot. This
dish can be prepared with pork or chicken depending on one's preference.
Whatever it is, the Nhoim Troyong Cheit is incredibly refreshing and quite a
festival in itself.
Nhoim Makak, is a delicious
combination of dry shrimp, fish, fish sauce, chilli pepper and garlic and the
Makak fruit all in one. The festivity of flavors in this mixed salad will
awaken your senses. The kiwi-sized Makak (Otaheite Apple) has a pineapple-mango
like flavor and crunchy texture that makes this a better preference over using
the Mango for this salad.
Broher tropeang is a
refreshing soup. Light, and crisp, the hearty flavor is awarded to the unique
flavoring from the green leaves and bamboo shoots. Step into the wilder side by
adding prahok, fresh river fish and even smoked fish with mushrooms to spice up
the fragrance. For a bit more, the connoisseurs of modern day Cambodia favour a
tad bit of chili flakes to give it that extra kick.
SGNOU CHRUK BONG KANG (ស្ងោរជ្រក់បង្កង)
This is the specialty and
delicacy soup that will awaken your palates beyond belief. The fresh water
lobster being one of the most flavorful creatures in Cambodia due to the
richness of water in the country, really reflects on this dish as it is
complimented by lemongrass, basil leaves, lime, chili and the delicious
freshness of mint. Refreshing and Warming at the same time!
