Board a tuk-tuk for an easy ride to the local market of Phsar Leu. Try many authentic specialties and see the hustle and bustle of everyday Cambodian life.
Start with Khmer Lot Chhar, stir-fried rice pin noodles with beef, or topped with a fried egg and garnished with bean sprouts. Continue exploring the market as your guide points out local ingredients such as prahok, fermented fish pastes integral to Khmer cooking, and sugar palm fruit used in iced desserts. Your guide will also tell you Cambodia’s history of using red ants in cooking and will show you the fresh meat corner and freshwater fish from nearby Tonle Sap Lake.
Next, have some Num Krork, Cambodian rice cakes that are often made and sold on the streets throughout Southeast Asia. Try Banh Chhev, a crispy pancake cooked with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, dipped in sauce.
Lastly, Cambodian desserts are a must-try. Choose from a variety of desserts that have been baked, deep-fried, or even grilled. Your guide will inform you and answer questions regarding the ingredients in the desserts.
