Food, Food, Food...Cambodia Edition!

As per usual our last post about our visit to Cambodia is all about food. We were pleasantly surprised by Khmer (Cambodian) cuisine as non of us had any idea what to expect. Cambodian food is very similar to Thai food but is not as spicy and instead uses a lot of pepper. In particular, Cambodia is known for its Kampot Black Pepper, an ideal souvenir to bring back. Our favorite dishes were Amok and Lok Lak. Amok is a delicious coconut based curry dish usually made with fish and served in a coconut shell. Lok Lak on the other hand is a beef dish that is accompanied by steamed rice and lime juice and pepper sauce which was a simple yet perfect addition to the dish.
