In Siem Reap, Cambodia, Local Fare Gets a Chance to Shine
New restaurants offer a deep dive into one of Southeast Asia’s lesser-known cuisines."Cambodian food is “first and foremost a cuisine of place,” Mr. Rivière said, rooted in indigenous ingredients: pond frogs and fish from Tonle Sap, the freshwater lake not far from the city; rhizomes and herbs like galangal, turmeric, lemongrass and basil; palm sugar; coconut milk; prahok (salted fermented fish that is boiled to make a sort of stock or chopped fine); and a range of seasonal farmed and foraged fruits and vegetables, like young green jackfruit and wild mango kernels."
Looks good.
Is it worth the cost of getting there?
