Cambodian curry. I was curious how that would be since I thought Amok was the Cambodian curry. Plus, it was a special of the day, only $3.25 with a drink included. I was still feeling the pinch, having dished out $40 for a 3-day Angkor pass, so any sort of discount was appreciated
The food - Khmer Curry
When the dish came out, it looked very hearty and yummy, and I instantly knew that I’d made the right decision in ordering it. They served a good portion of curry and rice, which is a good thing considering how hungry I was.
The curry tasted so good as I took my first bite!
I had turned from a tired and weary traveler into a very happy person. I literally felt joy while I was eating it. Such is the power of a great food. Granted, it could be that I was just so tired that day that any kind of food would taste good, but I would definitely eat that curry again, starved or not.
They put thin slices of chicken in the dish, along with a good portion of vegetables. The curry was on the thick side, but it was a good consistency. They actually put curry spices in this dish (unlike Amok), and you can instantly taste it. The spices all worked together without being too overpowering. There was also that coconut cream flavor, with a small dollop of it at the top.
It was deeelicious.
Other things
The Traditional Khmer Food restaurant is owned and run by Cambodians. And from the name cards they gave me, it looks like they also operate at least 3 other restaurants in the area. On the bill they thank you for supporting a Cambodian business, making you wonder what the percentage of non-Cambodian owned businesses is.
