The interest in foreign foods greatly benefitted the U.S. food scene, in many ways…and has, I think, ultimately strengthened our interest in the cuisine of our own nation, and individual regions. I expect the same will likely happen in Cambodia. There’s never anything that quite matches the foods we grew up on, the comforts of home, while its nice to eat something different now and again, too. It can also build bridges with the people of other cultures.

Thanks! I can work with that. I imagine the proportions are similar to Kroeung and the Thai curry pastes. I noticed you specified dried sweet peppers. The curry paste is not intended to be hot, then? Is that correct?

I’m looking forward to making this and trying the recipe for the pork. I need to get to the SE Asian market now…

We need to pass these information down to all the khmer youths and forward down to the next khmer generation and so on.. I am khmer prouded, young clueless but eager to learn. This is new to me and I will pass this on to every khmer youth I encounter that Khmer used to ruled most of south eastern asia for nearly 9th centuries and that Southern land that “Youn” called their land was once ours. Khmer people need to unite and realize that what was once was ours is disappearing slowly and we shud do whatever it takes not to let our rich heritage perish. Please Khmer people, we do not want to become like the “Champs” who live on their own land but cannot claim it their own. We know we are stronger than that. GO KHMER POWER!!!

Among the Thais and Viets us Khmer bros and sis have that special qualities: pride, honesty, dignity, loyalty and most of all courage.

This sounds delicious and I will be making it. Khmer curry paste…is something I’m not likely to find at any of the SE Asian markets in my area. I’m quite willing to make my own, as I do for Thai curry pastes. Some sources online are saying its the same as Kroeung, while some folks on a forum were saying there’s a difference, and they seemed to indicate that roasted chilies and peanuts were involved. Could you provide a recipe for Khmer curry paste? Or pastes, if there are a variety, like in Thailand…

I love this website, and will be exploring it in much greater depth! Cambodia and the Khmer interest me greatly. Thanks!

I really like your carving; eventhough, I just never have any experiences in food carving. It helps me to do catering if I do have guesses coming over for the dinner. Thanks for sharing. Socheada.

Dear Vutha,
I am glad to hear you like the food.
I hope you are going to try this recipe.

The dried shrimps and green mango makes a good combination.

Ignorant people as for instance Cambodian leaders never know their own ignorance.

Dear Cera,
Thank for your kind words and support.

Because of the cultural food, I have to keep the original Khmer names with description provided in romanization english. And most of the time there is a discrepancy when it comes to spelling but I try to keep the pronounciation as close as I can. Am open to suggestion or any input. The site is open to all.

Thank you for referring me to the website. I’ll have a look at the library of congress website. Good to know there’s a Khmer librarian.

Thank you Jayavarman for making an effort to transliterate Khmer words into English! I admire you because it’s very hard to do it. And for those who don’t know, there is an official transliteration fron Khmer script into English at the Library of Congress website. I am a librarian. And I have to use the table all the time when I have to catalog books and materials in Khmer language. Be proud of yourself as Khmer.
