3. Som Lor Mchou
Well, this kind of foods is also divided into several other types like we have Som Lor Mchou Thro Kuon ( water convolvulus soup), Som Lor Mchou Prolit ( Water lily soup), and Som Lor Mchou Scat. All are yummy. For Som Lor Mchou Thro Kuon, we cook it with fish meats and add their eggs (can be Wallago attu fish’s eggs. Wallago attu in Khmer we call Trey Sanday) or for other type, we can do it with green onions and beef. Som Lor Mchou Prolit (water lily soup), we use water lily, fish meat, and shrimp to cook this food. And Som Lor Mchou Scat is the same as above just the main vegetable is Scat. All kinds of Som Lor Mchou have a sour taste because we, Khmer like this taste and like using unripe tamarinds to cook the soup like these. And one more ingredient that makes this soup taste superb is Prohok – the best taste that Cambodia people never miss out when they eat.

4. Cow’ tripe with Prohok (Khmer Proma)
This food is also considered as one of the most popular. It gains its popularity because of the best ingredient that our Khmer cannot forget-Prohok(a fermented fish paste). Some foreigners maybe don’t like this stuff. But I would encourage everyone including them to try it. It is pretty much delicious. It is mostly available at most of the restaurants in Phnom Penh as well as in provinces.

5. Lobster Soup
Mostly, Cambodian people like calling this food “Kuor Bang Kong” “Kuor Bang Kong”. If you go to the Khmer style restaurants, you will see that it is always in the menu. It is very very delicious I guarantee you! The secret to cook this awesome dish is first you need to have lobsters, a kilo or half is up to you, and of course; you need a fresh one so that it can taste more yummy when we eat. Then, we cut the lobsters meant into a small piece and mix it with their brain, and don’t forget to put some additional soup pack and finally you have to use lemon (Khmer lemon, the green one) when you start eating. Without the lemon, it won’t taste good.
