As the "Cambodia-China Tourism Year" unfolds, it offers more than just a chance to explore scenic landscapes it's also a golden opportunity to savor the rich flavors of two distinct culinary traditions.Cambodia's beloved Fish Amok is a fragrant coconut curry steamed in banana leaves, known for its creamy texture and subtle spices.
On the Chinese side, Peking duck is a crispy-skinned delicacy with centuries of imperial history, often served with pancakes and sweet bean sauce.
Both of these dishes are must-tries that speak to their countries' culinary roots.Khmer red curry brings warmth without overwhelming heat, often cooked with coconut milk, chicken and local spices.
In contrast, Sichuan hot pot is a bold, fiery experience loaded with chili peppers and numbing peppercorns.
While Khmer curry invites a gentle warmth, Sichuan hot pot is an adrenaline rush for the taste buds.Cambodian spring rolls, filled with fresh herbs and vegetables, offer a crisp bite and light refreshment.
Dim sum with its wide range of dumplings, buns and rolls, showcases the finesse of Cantonese cooking.
Both dishes are bite-sized, perfect for sharing, and reflect the importance of community at the dining table.
