Genuine Cambodian food comes to the bay area
Cambodian food that you can't even get in Cambodia now. When Sovan left Cambodia there was a highly developed cuisine that combined many different flavors and spices. It is similar to certain styles of Viet Namese or Thai foods. After the genocide by Pol Pot, this cuisne was effectively destroyed.
The chicken watercress salad is absolutely amazing. The secret is the genuine Cambodian dressing. The other salads are also wonderful. My favorite soup has shrimp, pineapple, a vegetable that is like a sponge in the way it absorbs flavors. The shrimp and green beans - sounds like something you'd make at home, don't be fooled. The sauce is nothing like you'd do at home - unless your name is Sovan. The catfish amok is a wonderful experience - almost like a custard in texture but with a flavor unlike you'll find anywhere else.
The service is polite and friendly.    [02 Jun 2004 13:38:41]
