Eat Khmer food and brave the night market

Cambodian food is underrated and very cheap once you step away from the tourist strips. Try fish amok, the national dish of creamy coconut curry, lok lak (stir-fried beef), and Khmer noodle soups, ideally at a local restaurant a few blocks from Pub Street where prices halve. The night markets are perfect for cheap grazing, with skewers and full plates for a dollar or two. A Khmer cooking class is a fun, affordable way to learn the dishes. We'll point you to the best-value local eateries and what to order.
