Cambodia is considered to be one of the best country for healthy and unique food. Since most people prefer to eat fast food as it’s more convenient, and spend effortless in making food, so they don’t normally try and eat either homemade or traditional food. So just in case, you miss the traditional food and want to eat the most common and national dish in Cambodia, the list below will brief you some of Cambodian national cuisine.

1. Creamy Prohok dip

Creamy Prohok dip also known as Prohok Ktis is one of the best national dish among other Khmer food. The texture is quite creamy since it’s combined from coconut cream, prohok, palm sugar, and so on. It tastes good when eating with a bowl of rice, and dipping with all types of fresh vegetable. You’ll smell the aroma of prohok when putting it in your mouth, and it’ll even melt immediately as it’s mixed until it becomes small creamy pieces. Cambodian people occasionally make this in special event such as in Pchum Ben days or when celebrating a ceremony.

2. Lemongrass sour soup

This soup is perfectly fit in the cold weather and rainy tropical days. This can be made from any types of meat such as fish, beef, chicken, and pork. Adding the vegetable such as water lily, watercress, and papaya are best way to make the soup more appetizing. Don’t forget to add a bit of chilies or banana pepper in the soup to make it spicier and appealing, and also prepare a small bowl of fish sauce with crash garlic and chili, just in case the soup is a bit blend so that you can adjust to your own favorite. Cambodian people always enjoy this cuisine anytime they want.

3. Khmer noodle

Khmer noodle is also being called as Nom ban chok by Cambodian people. You may think this dish is simple, but It’s beyond your imagination. This food is combined from the noodle which is pounded out of rice, soup with lemongrass paste which is topped with fish based. Fresh vegetable such as cucumber, banana flower, cabbage is also being served in this type of national food. Chili is the optional, but I suggest to add chili in the Nom Banh Chok to make it more delicious. You won’t get enough of it when eating this food, and you also can serve this as your breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

4. Fragrant vegetable soup

Fragrant vegetable soup is being combined from many kinds of vegetable such as eggplant, papaya, pumpkin, and so on. You can add meat to make it taste good. This fragrant soup is also known as Som Lor Korko or Som Lor Pro her. It’s taste amazing which is very unique with the well-balanced of ingredient, and mixed of many types of fresh organic vegetable. You can eat this with a bowl of rice or eat it alone. Add more chilies to make it more aromatic, attractive, and delicious.

Since the start of 2020, the world has confronted the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to a decline significantly in different sectors all around the world, the same as the Cambodian economy. The covid-19 in Cambodia so far is reaching 2,273 cases, 11 Deaths, and 1,172 recovered. Compared to these cases to the world, Cambodia is a low rate of cases among other countries. Therefore, the economy in Cambodia is partially affected not completely.The most affected business in Cambodia is a small business, like motor vendors, restaurants, and the big one is a hotel since there are not as many tourists as during the pre-covid-19 pandemic. As we see, there are many restaurants in Phnom Penh that were closed, motor vendors lost customers since only fewer people go out.

Additionally, Siem Reap province, a famous tourist site for people around the world. Most hotels were also closed temporarily due to a down drop in tourists. This issue really affects a lot of people in small business owners and hotel owners.

Apart from this, individual people in Cambodia are also most affected by this pandemic, like employees or workers since some industrials are closed due to limited export to the world. For instance, the garment industrials in Cambodia are struggling to a high level as well as to maintain salary for employees.

However, the government of Cambodia also takes action by asking for house rent owners to reduce the amount of money for rent in order to relax the spending of employees or works who come to work in Phnom Penh.

No matter what the case is, I still believe in faith in people to come all together to destroy this virus. It is very easy to do just practices three rules from WHO: washing hand, keep in distance, and wearing a mask. The only way to recover the economy is to keep doing what is right to stop the spreading of this virus at all costs.

Sihanoukville or Kampong Som is known as the coastal city which is considered as one of the best tourism sites in Cambodia. It is popular by the very beautiful landscape, the brand new restaurants and foods, the hotel serving where you can spend your unforgettable memories with your favorite peoples. Beside, there is still something to be concerned about when you decide to make a new journey in an unknown place where you need to be very careful of yourself and your belongs.

Related: Why is Sihanoukville very popular?

A word of warning, Is Sihanoukville safe? Well, violence, rapes, theft and muggings always happens more frequently, not only in Sihanouk but also in others developed places, so you must be careful on finding the place where you can live with peace and comfortable atmosphere, the food that suit your taste. In other hand, the nightlife in Sihanouk is more interesting, Otres Market is the best place to find some live music and festival atmosphere with a variety of international food stalls, souvenir shops and different musicians and performers, but it’s dangerous for girls to go alone. Actually, since there are plenty of business has been run, the city is now a mess of construction, pollution, and casinos. It’s not very appealing except for a small strip of land by the dock. BUT the islands off the coast are still backpacker / budget traveler paradise so Sihanoukville is still good for a night as you transit to/from the islands.

Related: Is Siem Reap safe for tourists?

Futhermore, Sihanoukville is a pretty safe place to backpack and travel. Violent attacks are super rare. Petty theft is the most common type of crime here, and it’s unfortunately rather frequent on the beaches. Ochheuteal Beach is particularly a hotspot for thieves. You’ll be distracted by a child (or sometimes an adult) while another person takes your valuables from your towel. Leave your most important valuables in your safety deposit box or locker! Also hold onto your bag tightly when you’re riding on a motorbike taxi. Keep your bag in front of you so other drivers can’t snatch it. The road between Otres and Sihanoukville is especially risky. Overall, locals are really nice and helpful and you’re unlikely to get into trouble. The people who do tend to get into trouble are usually because they are inolved with drugs or sex tourism. Stay away from that stuff and you’ll be fine. The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.
