Khor Ch`eung Chomni Chrook – Cambodian caramelized pork rib with eggs and black pepper soup, very rich and flavorful food. This is one of the national dish and is essentially recommended due to its spices for post-postpartum mother who has just delivered baby. Another similar dish is “Khor Trey,” which will be discussed in a different menu. It is believed that pork meat helps restore red blood cell and the thick spicy pepper helps blood circulation. Eggs also give extra protein for hair re-growth. It is normal for mother to have blood clot after delivering baby, so “Khor” should be prepared with huge amount of pepper—as spicy as it can be. Spicier than what is normally prepared.
