• Phnom Penh - Experience a time when Cambodian kings rode into battle on armored elephants, when the Tonle Sap lake was legendary as the “Land of Gold” to distant Indian empires, and Spanish invaders on the Mekong brought the Khmer cities of Chatamouk and Longvek to their knees with cannon fire.

Dishes created and defined by pivotal moments in history have endured through the centuries, despite the Khmer Rouge’s attempts to isolate and eradicate local food culture. Come and see what they tried to destroy but couldn’t, and taste the act of rebellion by local chefs who dared to remember and rediscover these recipes in the post-civil war era.

• Sophath - Khmer Curry Noodles: Enjoy humble 5th-century noodles that predate the Angkorian Empire alongside local patrons at simple tables and chairs, as they have for centuries. This is Cambodian comfort food, popular from breakfast through dinner.

• កន្លែងបាយ - Stews & Stir-fries: Savor three (or more) low-and-slow stews and stir-fries at Phnom Penh’s busiest roadside eatery. These are ancestral dishes born deep within countryside homes, now served by a family on the streets of the capital city.

• Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - Slow-roasted Ribs: Located across the street from the museum, meet Auntie Song’s family, whose pork short ribs once made a guest claim they “made me believe in Santa again.” Served alongside a special dish brought daily from Battambang province featuring seasoned fish cakes grilled in banana leaves.

• Eleven One Kitchen - Fish Amok, Local Curry, and More: Sample golden-age ingredients and dishes in a trendy and lush setting hidden from the city’s bustle. These are the best versions of Cambodia’s go-to dishes.
