Cambodia Excited to Be Touted As the New Trendy Cuisine

Story here. Let’s just hope a cue is taken from the Dead Fish Guesthouse, which proudly proclaims “We don’t serve dog,cat, rat, or worm!”

EDIT: Hmmm. Upon reflection, perhaps this belongs in Cafe Society, since it’s food. Please move as you see fit.

Time to post my photo from Siem Reap again?

I love Cambodian food and there are very few cookbooks available in the US, so I have a copy of this coming my way soon. The Cambodian restaurants I used to go to in Rhode Island had a different cuisine than those I went to in Cambodia. They seemed Thai-influenced to me. I haven’t seen recipes for most of the dishes I used to eat there.

By “this” I mean this.

Mmmm. That looks like GOOD eatin’. :smiley:

But yes, Cambodian food is closely related to Thai and Lao, and to Vietnamese to a lesser extent. Basically similar to Thai but with fewer spices.

Other than the Chinese-style boiled, hacked-up chicken served with nothing else in a bowl, I like Southeast Asian cooking a lot. If there were a Khmer place in Oregon, I’d be there every week.
