It’s awesome that you wanted to learn and show authentic Khmer cooking to the world. It’s a great video. As you eluded to, much of Khmer culinary skills were lost during the genocide and Cambodian foods have evolved to adapt to the needs and ingredient availability. Food preparation is also very regional. For example what you had was not beef Lok Lak. It was just a stir fry beef with morning glory. Authentic Khmer Lok Lak is a dry pan seared cubes of black peppered beef fillet (medium rare and tender) served over slices of green tomatoes. Black pepper and lime sauce is used for dipping the beef. Marion’s Kitchen RUclips channel does a great job on her Cambodian Lok Lak cooking. Fish Amok has also evolved to speed up the preparation and cooking time. It used to be greener in color instead of red. Sliced Noni leaves were used as part of the main ingredients. It used to be steamed in an enclosed pyramid shape banana leaves. (BTW, the picture of the Lok Lak you had before used to be called Beef Stuck).
Hi! Thanks a lot for the insight. Often food and culture goes hand in hand, and it is so interesting to learn about the regional varieties in food preparation, and how they have changed over time. We really love how Cambodians take pride in their culture, and especially Khmer food. It has it's own unique elements and style that makes it a unique form of cuisine, and we are glad that some day we can cook some of these dishes for our families in another part of the world.
Welcome new friend we are so happy to have you here 💕 thank you for sharing your special and welcoming town with us. We truly loved spending time there
I just wanted to say thank you for visiting our country, Cambodia. You're a wonderful person and thank you for sharing your experiences with my khmer people. The khmer foods always delicious. Vanak is a great chef👏👏 I wish you the best and stay safe! Thank you! 🙏
It was our pleasure! It has been such a fantastic travel experience learning about Cambodia from different parts around the country and from it's people. We have loved our time here and have enjoyed learning about Khmer food and culture❤️
Yes his English was excellent. In fact he told us that he learnt it during his time in Thailand, when his family had to take shelter there after the war. He has done an amazing job learning and mastering the language, and now his son speaks great English as well. And he was such a good teacher as well, very patient and kind 😊
Hello 👋 For editing, we use a combination of iMovie and Capcut. 🤩 We are so glad you enjoy our videos, thank you for the support it means a lot to us ❤️
I love so many of your vlogs but this was one of the most enjoyable to watch. I loved the way you connected with Vanak and embraced his cooking class in his family home. It was authentic, very tasty looking and unique. If I ever went to Cambodia this would be on my top list of things to do. Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences once more❣
This was an experience we will remember for a long time to come. It was so special getting to spend the day with Vanak and his family. It’s moments like these that make travel so eye opening and special 🥰
The comment about khmer people doesn't eat breakfast before the khmer rouge make zero sense to me because both my grandparents who live in Phnom Penh for a long time before the war said that everyone having breakfast before going to work in the Songkom era.
Wow, awesome video thank you for coming to Cambodia and learning about our cuisine. Your video is great and detailed about living life in the countryside but your music background is a bit too loud especially when you speak if you can reduce it, that'd be better. Anyway thank you for coming to Cambodia and hope you enjoy your life in Cambodia.❤
The Khmer guy that says Cambodia does not have a market before the war is wrong. in the cities, khmer people always went to the markets to buy fresh products/produces to cook. I don't understand what he meant.
The food must be great when everything is freshly picked from the garden. I love those greens in the beef lolak but they don’t have them in the US in normal supermarkets. They’re also really good in a sweet n sour soup.
Which was your favorite part of this video? 🥰
I love eat amok but, the guy forgot put one fevorite leave noni leaf under amok 😊.
Listening to Vanak sharing the history behind Khmer dishes but also watching how each dish was made. Delicious!
@@nysam6520👏👏😍🫶🇰🇭
This was a great video and the fact you are cooking unique food is a great accomplishment. Did you find it hard to cook this food ?
