More Than Just a Food Tour
Dating to the 2nd century AD, nom banhjok is a signature Cambodian noodle dish. Served for breakfast, dinner or snack, in times of celebration or to unite friends and neighbors, this dish can be made with a variety of curried broths. We love this style prepared by two generations of women at a favorite gorgeous food stand.

Feature Ingredient: Prahok. Lends a stunning depth and umami flavor that gives Cambodian food some of its unique and addictive quality. Originally made as a way to preserve fish in Cambodiaβs hot climate and eaten alongside rice or as a dipping sauce to provide year-round protein, Prahok has become an important flavoring ingredient in Khmer soups and curries. Much like fine aged cheeses, this fish paste varies in flavor profiles and becomes more addictive the more you try it. And much like fine wine, this paste was originally made by crushing trey riel (mud carp) by foot, a tradition that is still used in some Cambodian village but has largely been replaced with crushing machines.
Cambodian food is so much more than Kampot pepper sauce and fish amok, as delicious as those are. Come experience the rich history of the Khmer people as you sample foods that are as unique as the locals who prepare them. Taste the real Cambodia with us!
