The first supper
We had our first meal in Cambodia at a cafe called Khmer Saravana, which touted its cocktails and pizza. Yeah, pizza. Another sign noted Khmer, Thai and Europ foods.
The menu was as multi-cultural as the signs promised, featuring cocktails ranging from Singapore slings to pina coladas to tequila sunrises. The foods ran the gamut from BLTs to Caesar salads to pasta dishes. Of course, we didn't travel halfway around the world for BLTs.
Thankfully, Chantha Bob or Bobby as he is called, ordered a Cambodian feast that included prahok ktieh, a dipping sauce of fish paste, spice and a bit of pork. We also had the amok, a curry with fish paste, coconut milk and chicken, bowls of snou chouk, a soup with prawns and chicken and water cress with oyster sauce. Oh, yeah, and DaVik and Peter Chhun's daughter split a pizza with ham and pineapple.
