describes 90% of the traditional Khmer (Cambodian) fare

Fish
Camboida is located on the Ocean, and the Mekong River, with the Tonle Sap lake doubling in size in the summer.  There's water most everywhere here, and there's lots of fish to be found as well.  Most Khmer's eat fish at least once a day, whether in soup, grilled, pickled, boiled, steamed and pressed.  And fish sauce is in many soups as well.

Meat
Chicken, Beef or Pork is also eaten at least once a day in a traditional Khmer household.

Veggies
You'll find most common vegetables grown here: carrots, potatoes, lettuce, beans, carrots; and a number of vegetables you've never seen before.  Many leaves from trees and cactuses are also traditional Khmer foods.

 

Fruits
Pineapple, Watermelon, Banana, and Mango are staples of a daily diet here.  Plus you'll find many fruits, from small berries to 20 kilo monster fruits.  Many of these can be bought on the street in small stalls, or sold on ice in portable fruit vending stands

Try something different
Grilled dog, snake, fried tarantulas, boiled turtle...... how about some fresh baked grasshoppers.  If it moves here, someone's going to eat it.
