Forget any resemblance to the cuisines of Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, Cambodia has a unique and ancient food culture that is truly exotic. Using pepper rather than chilli to elegantly add spice, Cambodia’s unpretentious food is laden with fresh herbs, spices, rice, freshwater fish and condiments. And while there are influences from French and Thai cooking, Cambodian cuisine has a style and flavor all its own. Specially, enjoying street food in Cambodia is a wonderful way to explore the least understood cuisine of this land. A Siem Reap street food evening tour will create opportunity for you to understand more deeply about a unique Cambodian cuisine. Cambodia and Indochina holidays
