Finding THE BEST FOOD in Cambodia - Phnom Penh Food Tour

It's official! I'm in love with Cambodian food. After taking a food tour of Phnom Penh, Cambodia I discovered that local Khmer food is fantastic. It's not as popular as Vietnamese or Thai food, but the Cambodians have many traditional dishes that are amazing - you just have to know where to go. We did a tour with Lost Plate Tours and were taken to off the beaten path restaurants and street food stands where we stuffed our faces with so much fresh and tasty food - noodle soups, sweet umami pork, BBQ ribs, desserts, plus drinking beers in the tuk tuk between locations! It's basically the best time ever.

Chha means stirred fry.Trop means egg plant. Here we go stir fried egg plant. Or Chha Trop Sach Chrouk. Chrouk is pork. Sach means meet. Chha trop Sach chrouk. Stir fry trop with pork.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Awesome. Thanks for the lesson. I need you to follow me around and explain all these things. It would make learning the language so much easier.

[@leonchea8235]

Great video as usual

[@Jayvaraman7]

The first dishe is my favorite.

[@KhmerMinnesnowta]

Khmer Food (Mahoab Khmer or Aahaa Khmer / Food Khmer in local) was wiped out during Pol Pot era including the human resources. Politics aside. Glad the traditional Khmer food is coming back for the visitors to enjoy. I still have vivid memories about my grandma's catering the high-end wedding back in the 60s. Great food tours there. "If it does not move, just eat it". Chills from Minnesota!

[@ericintampa9352]

thanks

[@guitrich]

i love the bitter melons.

[@WanderEats]

Thanks for sharing native Cambodian food.. absolutely enjoyed this yummy episode of yours Ryan and Sara.

[@booboo5244]

I'm Cambodian and I'm glad you love our food. Thank you for spreading these words

[@LostPlate]

You’re the best guest ever!! Thanks so much for joining us again, it’s always a pleasure. Can’t wait to see that dessert cart video. 😏

[@JDOff-Course]

Your guide did an awesome job in the video. Kudos!

[@Guru-ye4xt]

Cambodian food is very good

[@markec87]

When girl on a thumbnail appear in a vide i have to rewind to see her twice. Nextlvl 😄😍

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Khmer food or Cambodian food is fine you can use whatever of two

[@Hea9lt9hy9]

Super yummy delicious Khmer food.. I like the green curry noodle, rib BBQ , desserts and stuffed bitter melon ..

[@JDOff-Course]

This just in....mans stomach explodes after a massive night of food surfing. Film at 11! Cool video and that had to be some awesome food. The tour guide seemed to to a very good job for you guys too. Enjoyed the vid!! 😀

[@mimibigdy1917]

Super yummy delicious Khmer food 🍱

[@EverythingBasketballs]

That noodle spot is legit. I like to mixed the green and the red curry to give a unique flavor.

[@CARACAS1]

Food looks tasty , delicious and affordable. Maybe you could have introduced your friends. How much money you said is needed to live comfortably in Cambodia? Best regards. .

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I'm not sure yet. I've been tracking my finances, but for the first few months I had to buy a lot of things. I'll guess about 700/month, but you can certainly do it for cheaper, and for more.

[@CARACAS1]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap thanks 👍👍👍. That amount seems too low for 2 people. I guess it excludes rent, right?

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

That's for 1 person.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Including rent

[@ericjurgensen9233]

Awesome!!

[@TSerey]

🤣😂🤣 love the introduction

[@mikewhocheeseharry5292]

Good to learn the history of red and green curry! I applaud you for being adventurous with the traditional, old Khmer dishes because the flavors can be a bit foreign to a Westerner’s palette. It really helps too that you know what the ingredients are before all the spices and herbs are combined.

[@BackHomeFromTheStates]

The authentic khmer foods are to dye for. Most of some unique flavores can only find at local family as it's their secret ingredients.

[@Meczox]

The dish you were talking about at 7:34 is I belive ចាត្រួប which is basically fried eggplant but a type of eggplant native to here ( dont quote me on that)

[@rith6505]

That's not how you spell it. It spelled "ឆាត្រប់"

[@virginiabrewster8444]

Nom nom!!!

[@AsiaCityTour]

Big thanks for help to promote our food culture to the world💓

[@MeenaFromIndia]

Lots of handsomeness to spare 😂😂😂 Epic dialogue 😀😀😀

3:10 it is incredibly dark when she says "since the Khmer Rouge finished." The Khmer Rouge killed more than 2 million people.

[@ChrisKirtley]

Yeah, but they made the trains run on time😂

[@AmblingAloof]

Wow! Looks like a lot of great food. 😋 I hope to visit Siem Reap soon. I'll be looking forward to a lot of great eats when I get there.

[@swsunsetseeker7285]

Delish!!👍🏼👍🏼

[@piseth-chao]

I like it 4:50 នំបញ្ចុក ❤️

[@Nathanyork361]

Our food is uniquely different but also make us known for the sweet, salt, sour, umami all at once . Most Khmer food is aromatic and has many texture for you to enjoy

[@gehennax1]

The first dish called numbanchok 😀 2nd dish called cha kdou ko (stir fried eggplant 🍆) kdou ko literally translate to Bull p*nis … yes that is how we called eggplant 🤣🤣

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Thanks for letting me know. I love bull penis in Cambodia!

[@heythave]

No, it is called chha trop (trop = eggplant).

[@BackHomeFromTheStates]

😂 decent listening yes cha trorp saach chrok but in the slang it's just how you said it @gehannax1

[@prossusa]

Khmer food

[@rattanameas1181]

Also call, Cow Dick Eggplant." Throrp Kdar-Go".

[@cmccarthy3016]

Its Khmer food... Ry Ry - Ingersoll - Fingerhole! lol

[@kippsguitar6539]

As long as you are near a pharmacy

[@wow888888able]

Did you make a video of everything on this cart? Please give me the link. Thanks

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

No, but that's a good idea.

[@ChrisKirtley]

That cat seemed to disappear after it walked towards the kitchen🤔

[@rattanameas1181]

I say, Khmer Food. Since I'm Khmer American.

[@jesuisrobert808]

Got the location of these restaurants? I can't eat so much in a short time

[@fazbell]

Any food host who mentions "warty penis" is definitely the kind of show that foodies should be watching.

[@BackHomeFromTheStates]

Those desserts 😢

[@saaem4045]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇰🇭

Have you tried Prahok yet, Ryan? I loved it, though my gut didn't 🤔

Where is the traditional khmer dessert kiosk located? Thanks

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Across the street from the west side of the Russian market.

[@helene7672]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap thank you

[@chanthyleang5337]

We say Khmer food in local language, not Cambodian food, but you may use both for foreigh audience. :)

[@IambiguousSegment]

Where is the first restaurant you went to located?

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

St 264, right by Wat Botum park.

[@IambiguousSegment]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap cheers. By the way, I went to that beef bone place (from your video) today and it's temporarily closed! Must be my karma 😫

[@heythave]

I went by three times there last month but it was closed because of Chinese New Year. 😢 We also went to the restaurant with the stewed pork place on street 63 and street 42. Their food was good but the place is not very clean. Guys, there’s some really good food at One More Restaurant. We went to Mealea and Malis (Phnom Penh location) and the food sucked big time. It was disappointing because Malis in Siem Reap was so so good from main course to dessert.

[@scottycarver5186]

I will pass on bitter melon

[@searly8496]

how about turn Gary into curry? j/k. hahah

[@pahanin2480]

I have a lot of handsomeness to spare as well

[@bezonie9800]

We say Khmer

[@kylekane5029]

Well✌🏼😹 💋👌

[@BangTaoBeach]

Nice video. The food looked bad compared to the food in Thailand.

[@snp0011]

Another good video. It is always “Khmer” for everything: people, language, country, culture…..Cambodia is just a French derived thing.

[@theATkid]

There’s was a group of people in the 1970s really gave that word a bad name

[@spicyroads]

Guess you’re a smooth plonker kind of guy

[@sounhournim1643]

watching your video making me want to book a flight tickets and vist my city and enjoy the great life there. The food is just amazing, always thought those European lie when they say asian food is amazing, It just surprising how our food is cheaper, healthy and better than Cambodia.

[@johnerdelyi48]

The sundance suppose to do a good feed I hear the pickled parrot 🦜 kitchen is closed but the bar is still open !

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I've been in and around the Sundance probably 20 times, but I've never even noticed it. That street is not what it use to be. Lots has closed down.
