Amok is a classic Cambodian dish that features a rich and fragrant curry made with fish, chicken, or vegetables. It's known for its spice levels, which can range from mild to fiery, thanks to chilies, lemongrass, and galangal. The ingredients are simmered in banana leaves, giving them an aromatic, earthy flavor. This dish is typically served with rice.

Khmer Curry (Kari Khem) is another beloved Cambodian dish, characterized by its coconut milk base and variety of meats like beef, pork, or duck. This dish also incorporates a mix of spices, including turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chili pepper, to create a unique, flavorful experience. Khmer Curry is usually accompanied by rice and pickled garlic to complement the robust flavors.

Bai Sach Chrouk, also known as bamboo rice, is a staple street food in Cambodia. Sticky rice is cooked inside a bamboo tube, then served alongside grilled pork ribs, pork belly, or chicken. The smoky flavor from the grilling process perfectly complements the sweetness of the rice, making it a beloved snack or meal for many Cambodians.
