one constant in this city of contrast is its incredible unique in ancient food history that
tells a culinary story of Khmer culture through tantalizing tastes delicious dishes and the
wonderful people that carry on the traditions of this city in this video we take you along
with us on a Phnom Penh food experience for the ages as we take a very local food tour to some
of Phnom pens hidden gems on a gifted guide from Lost plate Food Tours so welcome back
all welcome if you are new here my name is Josie and welcome to my Channel today I'm in Cambodia
and I'm just waiting for our talk talk to take us to our food tour tonight so there's lots
of them coming up and down these streets but none for us just yet so we're just waiting out
here and I am starving okay thank you so much yeah so let's go to the first stop yeah yeah
sorry
made it so for our first stop we are right here near where we had our first day in Cambodia video
so these are noodles they're like white noodles and they're in a fishy broth hi
this is the day what's your name
oh yum what is it Curry
what is it traditional fish oh traditional fish yum chicken curry what's this one Curry
fish what is it Curry fish yeah yum and then you've got the noodles here whoa
no you don't see seasonal rest of my unity and like it take it as a small pick and also the
edible flower the yellow one yeah it's a flower so this is a well-loved dish here in Cambodia
named nambon choc I think or flour cake and it's made of freshly made rice noodles doused
in the yellow green coconut based like fish curry and it's garnished traditionally with
fragrant herbs vegetables edible flowers and also wild herbs we got to season these how we
wish so we just grabbed the ones we wanted and how much of each that we wanted to put in our
own dishes I don't really like the sound of a fish broth but it didn't taste that much like
fish it was really subtle and the noodles were amazing and definitely my favorite part yeah most
of Cambodian people like it so much especially thank you word I couldn't so that's the end of
our first stop and now we're just heading to the second one I'm not sure how we're getting there
though anyways another took way to go we're gonna walk oh there you go sorry I'm here
there we go okay so we are here at the second place and I'm actually not sure what's at the
menu on this one so it looks like this out the front here is sort of the like cooking area the
kitchenette if you will so which food's this fried eggplant with some mint pork oh okay then what
we're gonna have to try a Minto salt and fermented fish with coconut oh yum okay all right yeah and
this is a it's a great mindful but we like it now because because of the Chinese influence so
this stop gave us four different plates of food that we all kind of shared and we paired them
all with some rice it included something called prahok I believe which is salted fermented fish
paste we also had a fried eggplant one some stewed pork which was by far my favorite in
the start of the show each one tasted good and better than I thought but nothing tasted better
than this pork in my opinion it was really soft and the flavor was amazing oh that's delicious
what that one yeah really really good it's really like soft and it's got like a really
nice I don't know how to describe it it's just a really nice like Flavor icon thank
you where are we going now uh we're going to the barbecue BBQ Western Asian popular Kamai barbecue
okay we are here at the place after a another ride on the tuk-tuk and that is a full-on frog he does
a leg day that's for sure I can see his cord muscles from here hello I've never seen a frog
of all these time traveling southeast Asia or I haven't seen a frog like that so this
one is just in here and I'm actually not sure what we're eating at this
um at this stop um oh some sort of barbecue that's right yeah are we having frog yes do you like it
I do like props we're talking about how travel has changed over the time and Michael came a few
years ago and he was saying even now Cambodia is a lot different speaking for the last five years
Skyline just rising up you know and they feel like wow yeah
there's a lot of high building so if you're coming here with lost plate definitely pace yourself I am
kind of bordering on full and this is only the third stop hi oh yum what is it yeah yeah
salt pepper lime sauce to go with the rib The Chopping right now on The Cutting Board hi
oh good so today
Indian yum is it uh meat what is it what is it yeah yeah nice thank you and this is just
a tasting plate of the pop rip yeah that's the that's the Frog some yeah you see spicy
salty Sweet Frog and same too they're very same same same recipe same sauce
I don't know what to do with it oh yeah perfect just twirl it yeah
is very popular very popular it's good and it's not expensive it's not so expensive anymore so
we can afford to eat it yeah also from yeah this kind of barbecue you can find anywhere
on the street but the flavor is different make a big difference all right so we have
this little bowl of spices I think he's had the salt or Pepper or whatever and then you squeeze
some lime juice and you just dunk it in and then eat it as it is use your hands if you want it's
easier oh it's good it's really good there's not that much meat on the bone really nice taste and
as you were saying every place that you go to it just tastes a little bit different I feel like
everyone has their own like secret recipe to the same dish lower part of the frog is
just take off the leg yeah can you do it for me
and you just ate this part yeah go for it
I've never eaten frog my first frog just like that I think it's here
it's pretty good it might be a little like tough but maybe that's because it's like a muscle right
it's like muscles tough and frogs must have a lot of muscles in their legs because look at that
I can't get over it I'm trying to ask her if it's like her shop where I'm trying to get the
um translation right here what is it
oh Janae what's that one elfish fish yeah family business how long um
she has been running this restaurant for like six or seven months okay so
that was my first dark dark no not dark frog it was my first frog Where'd I get that from
hi hello so this one was more of a restaurant than say a street food stall it's not usually
my favorite if I'm coming for local food but it was a nice place to sit we were served some red
curry and what I believe is pomelo salad some of it was a little bit spicy for me and I can't
taste much after I've had spice but this one had more of a fishy flavor which again isn't
really my favorite flavor the dishes overall themselves were quite nice and served a little
bit more fancy okay so we are here at this dessert place it's more Street foodie right
now so the last one we're in was a bit of the restaurant type feel this one's street food
this is what we like to see hi is this today so this is what we like to see we like to see some
street food and apparently this is dessert so we have some dessert here I'm not sure
what it is with my ass but it looks like balls um like coconut balls almost what's your name
that's right Chum
Chum muy
is that what's your name yeah I'm trying to say what's your name how do I ask him his name away
thank you
so we were here and I was like wow look at all this street food we haven't seen this
tonight yet and then Michael and I were like I wonder where we are Michael turns around this
is the Russian Market we were here in our first video like the other day and what's it called
maybe a little helper he's helping me to say things sticky rice Jackfruit
can you ask him what his favorite is oh what's your name again all right
so um
oh he like Jackfruit stick it up can I have that one I have his favorite ah akun this is
the Jackfruit sticky rice with Jackfruit and a little bit of sauce here so it looks like sticky
rice and it's literally smashed smushed in between this like slice of Jackfruit
um with some sauce I think it's like maybe condensed milk I'm not sure he is eating his
own at the moment as we speak so he is it definitely was his favorite it definitely
was his favorite let's try this one so it's the Jackfruit I think he's gonna
wait for oh I mean we're coming oh we're coming eat it we'll catch up okay okay
that's good with the sauce
the rest of the group went on down the market and I was just eating my Jackfruit talking to
the they're trying to teach me how to say the words properly you got talk talks you've got
people and it's late it's really late I think it's like at 9 or 10 p.m or something and people are
still here so we are gonna head into this little Street thing from the market and got this little
secret passageway stairs and opened up into this really surprising Rooftop Bar so he just asked
me if I want the signature dish or the beer and the signature dish was a white and a dark rum
with lime and I think he says some cherry garnish on top not generally my first choice of a like a
cocktail but if it's a signature one we're gonna try it it's like a Pacific ale it's like a Summer
Ale you won't like it for this that's too strong for me you can tell I don't drink alcohol much
