Cambodian Food - Khmer Cuisine
cambodia news 2014 this week - Do you like to try the local foods when you're travelling in the new country? Would you relish wandering the winding back streets of your strange, bustling city to locate unique street food or perhaps a local restaurant offering traditional local dishes? In that case, a vacation to Cambodia could be worthwhile.

Cambodian cuisine is frequently overlooked or forgotten beside the popularity of its neighbouring countries, Vietnam and Thailand. Indeed, many traditional Cambodian dishes are distributed to these countries, given their common historical influences. However many Khmer dishes their very own flavour, ingredients, recipes and traditions, giving Khmer cuisine a unique identity of its own. Traditional cuisine in Cambodia was nearly destroyed through the horrors of the Khmer regime inside the 70's, however recently it has definitely been having a revival, with cooking classes now offered in lots of of the main tourist centres. When travelling through Cambodia a cooking class is undoubtedly a worthwhile experience, and you will find many dishes that are highly recommended and price keeping watch for.

Cambodian your meals are predominantly influenced by rice and fish. The nation is included with wetlands, and also the monsoon rains, which come from April, inundate the colourful green rice paddies through the entire country. The Mekong River which travels with the heart of the country holds a stunning quantity of freshwater fish, and Tonle Sap Lake is believed to have more fish than any other lake in the world. It is therefore unsurprising that rice and fish are staple ingredients in Cambodian cuisine; rice especially is eaten each day with most meals and something key ingredient which signifies food as distinctly Cambodian is prahok, a crushed, salted, and fermented fish paste.
