Siem Reap Cambodia 2010: Khmer Food

Its raining cats and dogs outside, monsoon weather is here.  I lingered to much to in bed and enjoyed my breakfast just to realize that I need to account people in my team.  Haysss, even if im on sick leave I still need to do it.  How I wish I can go back to the days when all I need to think about was my deliverables and myself.

Anyway, let me continue my reminiscing of our Siem Reap tour last August of 2010.  One of the best thing about that trip is having a taste of Khmer cuisine.  I think its one of the best in Asia.  The flavors are so rich and the presentation is so regal.  If you like the strong taste of curry, basil, ginger and coconut milk like I do, you'll surely fell in love with Khmer cooking.

 

This at the rooftop of the guesthouse where we stayed, they served home cook meals.  We ate here everyday of our stay, breakfast and dinner.

 

Its chicken and pork viand with curry and coconut milk.  That's how it is served to us, in a coconut husk and shell.

 

They also served good coffee.  Its a simple black coffee that I put on fresh milk but its strong and bold.

 

Just like here in PH, they have a tropical climate so we have the same kind of fruits.

 

My caffe latte at Café Ti-amo.  I think we already have a shop of the Korean franchise in Libis.  I should try that sometime, they also served gelato.
