Fish Amok
The national dish of Cambodia is called Fish Amok. It's a delicious white fish in a yellow coconut curry sauce. Served with white rice, Fish Amok is a light and creamy meal great for lunch or dinner. There was a lot of white fish on the menu here, and we also had a seared white fish dish that was incredible.
Beef Lok Lak
The second dish our guide suggested we try was called Beef Lok Lak. This was tender bites of beef in a reddish brown sauce, shown in the bottom left of the first photo. I tasted a little tomato and a little red wine in the sauce. It was delicious.
Veggie Rolls
Fresh and deep fried veggie rolls are very popular in Cambodia, and they were on the menu everywhere we went. You've likely had them before, but you've got to have them here. They're a Cambodian staple, and they make for a great appetizer before the main meal.
