This was the first time I've had Cambodian food outside of Cambodia, and I'm glad I tried it! Amok fish was one of my favorite dishes in Cambodia, and Angkor Cambodian Bistro did a great rendition of it (baked amok). "Amok" refers to the process of steam cooking a curry in banana leaves. The dish is made with white fish fillets, prawns, and scallops in a red curry and coconut milk sauce.
We also tried the phnom peng roast duck (in coconut milk and red curry duck), Khmer fish cakes, and nem nuong (barbecue pork hash). The duck was very tender and flavorful. The Khmer fish cakes were decent but not standout, and the nem nuong (barbecue pork hash) just seemed like normal meatballs (good but not that special).
