Cuisine of Cambodia
Cambodian cuisine, known as Khmer food, is a delicate balance of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavors, distinguished by its subtle yet rich taste. It features fragrant dishes like Amok, a steamed fish curry in banana leaves, and Bai Sach Chrouk, grilled pork with rice, reflecting influences from India, China, and French colonialism while emphasizing fresh herbs, coconut milk, and fermented fish paste.
