Fish
Cambodia is located both 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, dried, steamed and pressed. And fish sauce is in many soups as well. Of course, SihanoukVille is King when it comes to fresh seafood, with dozens of restaurants around town and right on the beach. |
Meat
Chicken, Beef or Pork is also eaten at least once a day in a traditional Khmer household. You'll also see the occasional frog, crocodile, tarantula, or turtle. Ovens haven't been invented here yet, so all food is cooked in some way with fire. Beef is usually chewy, but the chicken and pork rate excellent. |
