Decent Nom Banh Chok — nothing more, nothing less

Nom Banh Chok at this place was fine. The delicate and herbal flavour was there but not distinguished. banana blossom was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Cambodian cuisine shares roots with Thai and Vietnamese cooking but has its own distinct identity shaped by Khmer culture. The a Siem Reap market food stall setting was generic rather than immersive. palm wine was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Nom Banh Chok it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
