Cambodian food given to foreigners is usually so “dumbed down” that it ends up as a bland generic Asian food. Cambodians, though they are very proud of their food, rarely give the real versions of their cuisine to foreigners, thinking that they won't like it. If Cambodians would let outsiders eat their food, including prohok, foreigners would have a much different perspective.

[@lionessprowess3581]

It's been years since I've visited Cambodia. Some of the foods you tried are newer versions of classic favorites or has Chinese or Vietnamese influences. Fried bananas are traditionally heavily battered and sprinkled with black sesame seeds. Beef stew is typically served with rice noodles or baguettes and has carrots in it. And, your research is correct; Amok is steamed. The surface of a correct version looks smooth like the surface of poached eggs and paste-like once you spoon into it. And it's totally normal to see shredded kafir like leaves sticking out; they're edible decorations. The 2 versions you were served looked more like fish curry. Next time you visit Cambodia, go to any of the beach towns in Komong Som and order the stir fry crab with fresh green peppercorns. The peppercorns are locally grown in the Kompot Province. You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your Food Tour Experience!

[@LeakenaDoll]

Should give fish amok another try. It’s like you said a steam dish and it’s a very aromatic great curry that is more like a paste. It’s one of my favorite dishes made by my grandma. I would say you should try going outside of the capital the food will be a little different with a twist. Just like Thailand the different regions have differences in food to offer.

I had Amok in Coconut, and I found long seaweeds in the soup. What are they?

[@CalvinAnnabelle]

It's not seaweed. It's a type of leafy vegetable called "slirk ngo" in Cambodian. Gives the dish a little more freshness and texture.

[@NutsOnCrack]

In Thailand have a similar dish, but we call it Hor Mok and from this video the texture seems very different than the Cambodian Amok. The Thai version is not watery, but more firm, but I don't know if Amok is supposed to be watery or not?
