Food and drink

Khmer food is similar to Thai cuisine, but not as spicy. Chilli is usually served on the side rather than blended into the dish. Even the curry dishes, such as the delicious coconut milk and fish amoc, tend to be served very mild. Rice is the staple food for mealtimes, while noodles are more of a snack. Hygiene standards are not high, especially at street stalls, so make sure the food is fresh and piping hot, and make for the busiest places if possible.
