Cambodia is on my bucket list of fascinating places to travel to! I love the culture, the beautiful people, food and artistry this country! The chef, Christian Bauer is adorable! I wish there were more of these episodes, and wish they were longer!

This chef is wonderful with people. Because of this video and the very sweet and kind royal family, I want to learn more about Cambodia’s royal family. I hope that there is a KZbin channel or TV series on the history of the Cambodia royal family. Enough about the evils committed by the Khemer Rouge, there is a deep rich history to unfold long before that terrible episode that should not define Cambodia and it’s beautiful people. Thank you!

I agree with you. Everyone thinks of Pol Pot when Cambodia is mentioned. The history of the Khmer Empire and Angkor Wat is fascinating, for example. Unfortunately, like the Rwandan genocide, the Khmer Rouge regime belongs to the relatively recent past and still looms large, like a malevolent shadow.

As a first generation daughter (my parents escaped and came to Texas in 1977) I just wanted to thank you for your enthusiasm and love for my country. Happy Learning! ❤️

[@dinglebarry528]

Lana Lee - Thank you so much! I cannot even begin to imagine what your family has been through. I am just so grateful that so many Cambodians escaped and made the arduous journey to our country. On a happier note, please tell your mother and father, “Chom Reap Sour”.

I am amazed by the story of the Princess Buppha Devi! I had never heard her story before and it is so amazing that she brought a beautiful part of Cambodian culture back to life. Someday I hope to visit Cambodia and I will certainly have to watch the ballet. The traditional dishes looked way better than what he made to be honest.

The people of Cambodia are strong and have survived so much . They are a beautiful people with a strength many admire . Mrs. Kennedy spoke fluent French and would have been a wonderful guest . The chef is sweet and spicy a fabulous gentleman and talent. Love these episodes he filmed.

Thoroughly enjoyed 👍

[@crystalfabulous]

Thanks for sharing

[@islandblind]

I wonder what King Sihanouk would have said about the updated versions of his favorite foods?

[@PRDreams]

Dude 1: "crunchy rice" Dude 2: "Intriguing!" Every respectable Puerto Rican: "🤣 when did pega'o become fancy?🤣"

[@texxon3355]

Every Puerto Rican can identify with this, greetings!

[@zimnaya]

Félicitations maestro! Le déjeuner était tout-à-fait formidable, mais j’ai trouvé la file de la Princesse bien plus naturelle et chaleureuse que son auguste maman !

[@kimyv7693]

Wow looks amazing I love Amok. The last time I had it was in New York City first Avenue and it was amazing but they just announced this gems will be closed due to Covid-19 so sad. 🙁

[@lionessprowess3581]

It's interesting that Amok is the first dish that comes to a foreigner's mind when they think about Khmer cuisine but it's my family's least favorite. It's definitely dying out and tends to be popular only amongst elders.

[@mdstanton1813]

Naming a cocktail inspired by Jackie O the femme fatal....🤣👌awkward

[@bobbymkd457]

While the country lives bellow poverty line and most of Cambodians are hungry! 🤮

[@AaaaNinja]

While that's true, having the capability of treating international leaders and delegations like honored and respectable guests and not like enemies can be important in negotiating yourself into a more beneficial position.
