Hi gang, we fell in love with Battambang- so excited to bring you videos from here! Remember to follow us in real time over on Instagram stories @chasingaplate and if you enjoyed this video please give it a 👍 Thanks for watching! Big love, Thomas & Sheena 😘
Hey guys I loved watching this! Thanks for visiting my homeland! Just a bit of a word up about amok- it won’t be found in markets as it’s considered quite an old-fashioned food (it has ancient origins and is today considered passe or poverty food). Plus it’s not a dessert! It is a formal dinner dish made with either river fish, snails or mushroom. Nowadays only upmarket restaurants serve the dish, usually not done authentically. Otherwise if you happen to get invited to a rural Cambodian family barbecue they might also have it steaming away! Good luck devouring guys!
Asher Ouk hi mate, thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to write. We have been eating fish amok like crazy hahaha we love it. The jackfruit amok we have never come across again- I have seen videos of people making it but perhaps it’s just something that’s done in the home? We love Cambodia- it is a real joy to film here. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Thanks for all the information 😄 Cheers, Sheena
You guys are awesome and I’m hooked on the entire series! I think people who love Cambodia are really special people, it is a bit of a diamond in the rough. It must mean that Cambodia loves you too. So you will always be welcome to treat it as your home away from home!
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena : From a citizen in Cambodia 🇰🇭, we absolutely appreciate & love for these tour videos in our area. You did the right foods , btw Cambodian love you too ❤️

OMG food over the fence was my school back in high school, I couldn’t recognize at first ( I haven’t been in the county for almost 10 years). So excited watching your video, and even more excited when I’m flying there the end of January

I am happy to see that you guyz are not afraid to get food from those little food vendors. Tourists are often afraid of those because of the hygiene standards but they really need to rely on selling their items for a living. Thanks for the lovely video! Keep up the great work.
Hi Luffy3D2Y, thanks for watching and commenting mate 😄 You’re so right- those vendors earn so little. We love getting into the eating at local markets like this one. So happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena

You guys are the first channel that make the food out of my country look really yummy. Mark Wien and Sunny used to try it but they couldn’t find the right food and spot to film. You guys have done a better job in this series. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment mate! We love Cambodia and are having the best time filming here. The food culture is fascinating to discover and we are eating so well. Hope you enjoy the rest of the content we have coming up! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
In this video, the last dessert looks like sugar palm rice cake (with coconut milk on top) and in khmer language it is called Nom Akor Tnout (with Ktis Doung). Thank you for visiting Cambodia and made vlog about local khmer food!🙏
Hi Sokvisal Long, thanks so much for that information 😄 it would have been perfect with a coffee that Nom Akor Tnout!

Hi B k, thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, it is a very poor country and the struggle that a lot of people have to make a living is very evident. We have been so humbled by the welcome we have received when we have been filming by people who have so little. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate thank you so much for your sweet reply and I can not wait to see more series from your passionate vlog. Your Vlog looks so respectful and cheerful for the local culture and the way of people living. As Cambodian myself, I was so emotional and excited at the same time seeing your vlog about my own country cuisines that is so local and so all Khmer People eat daily.
I found you in FB but seeminly, there is no Videos in your FB page. I hope I got all these vidoes sharing on my account so alot of Cambodian people will be happy to join your journey about Cambodian cuisines
That is so neat B k 😄 We are just loving the food here and learning more about it is a joy. Thanks for sharing our posts on FB 😍 Yes no videos there just here on RUclips. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos we have coming from beautiful Cambodia 💕
😭 sorry to make you homesick Ju Ju! Is Siem Reap your hometown? We are here right now and have been doing 3 days of temple visiting. We are having a wonderful time and eating so well. Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you enjoy our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for that info mate 😄 it was tasty- should have had a coffee with it- would have made a great snack! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys thanks for sharing this video make me miss my country a lot especially Battambang is my hometown and all the places that you show I been there a lot before and my school, oh not try to correct you but that sour tamarins you have to spite the seed out because the seed is really bitter and the cake on the banana leaf it’s not jackfruit it’s palm fruit, thanks again for sharing I really miss my hometown
Amazing information! Thanks so much mate- that tamarind seed was SUPER bitter 😂 quite medicinal tasting. And thanks for the info re the palm fruit cake 😄 We loved Battambang so much- the people were so friendly and we ate so well. Hope you enjoy our next Battambang video mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
My family originally came from Battambang before Khmer Rogue, but we still have a lot of family members living there, so I been to Battambang a lot! It’s a great place! I grew up in Mongkol Borey.
@@AlohaPanda it's such a quaint and charming city! We loved our time there so much. Hope you enjoy the second Battambang video we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
omg you guys were at my school!! i could see my math teacher for a brief bit and the lady that you order bai sach chrouk from is the same lady i order from! anyway nice video! i enjoyed it alot
😍😍😍 OMG her bai sach chrouk is so good and she is so nice! We had the best time in Battambang. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
😍 thank you so much Benjamin Wilcox! To be able to inspire a reaction like that with our content is really humbling and thrilling. So happy we are able to share our experiences with you guys. Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
this series is really eye opener.. wow... I never know Cambodia serve food in such setup..! the market is also very unique.. the jackfruit coconut amok seems great.. you guys really great!
Thanks for watching mate and we are so happy you got to experience a Cambodian market through this video! Hahah the jackfruit amok that wasn’t. Hope we can find the real deal somewhere soon! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
Hi, Tomas and Sheena. Thanks for sharing Cambodian food especially in Battambang. I’m proud to say that your videos are underrated with your decent contents and editing. Keep up the good work. Love from Melbourne! Xo
Hi Kimsour yoeun, big love to you in Melbourne! Our former home 😍 so glad that you are enjoying our content- we are having such a blast filming in Cambodia- the food culture is fascinating to discover! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the content we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 do you live abroad now Sopha PG? We love Cambodia- amazing people and wonderful food. We can’t wait to return. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena yes eventhough i move here , i never forget my country , esp foods there , even u cook here but not the same flavor .
Such a vibrant culture! I admire how you do your best to interact with local vendors even with some "language barrier"... Friendliness and a smile are universal! Such a treat to watch this one!!!
Totally Rebecca! We feel like we’ve had so many conversations with people here despite the language barrier. Everyone is super friendly and kind. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, so happy you enjoyed it 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Thank you so much for making these videos especially the ones in Battambang. It reminds me how much I miss my hometown and all of those Bai Sach Jrouk I had everyday after class. The best thing was having a class just right in front of those food setups. I didn’t have to get out of the classroom to get the food. I just bought them through the window which was amazing 😄. Also, I am longing to have those sour fruit again. I got supper drooled by watching you ate the young sour green mango. I don’t think tamarind is supposed to be bitter unless you chew on its seeds. Anyway, thanks again for visiting Cambodia and making these wonderful videos. Lots of love.
Hi Andy, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment. I can see why you ate bai sach jrouk everyday- it was SO delicious. What a neat set up too. We loved Battambang- the food and the people were incredible. So glad you enjoyed this series! Cheers, Sheena P.S hahaha yes I ate the tamarind seeds- SO bitter! Now I know to avoid them next time 😆
Very happy to see that you guys are eating from local basic food vendors in Khmer markets this way you are helping to promote their little businesses. Because I was in tight budget during my Cambodia trip I eat from lots of these places and I can say they gonna make people surprise
They’re great aren’t they mate? And it’s neat to support these small businesses, it’s the best way to discover a local food culture. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate they are definitely the best way to explore local taste. Because I have seen in Cambodia there many restaurants even small scales have manu for tourists. And Khmer people don't eat from there as it is not in their budget but also different
So neat right?! I’d be eating that for lunch everyday if I was at school there 🤤 thanks for watching mate, so happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
So fun seeing you two try a spot/food for the first time without knowing everything going on. *_Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate and enjoy_* when you film your videos after scouting a few times and give us all the details -- "they've been here since 1964; their rice is from cousins in a neighboring village; the grilling technique was invented by their grandfather..." -- but I absolutely love when you jump in cold (like meat and smoke alleys, Mexico) and we see your reactions. So pure. Even though the num jak chol didn't blow you away, it's interesting see you try it. Outstanding day. Love pretty much any video from a fresh market. 😀👍
😄😄😄😄 thanks Tosh! They’re definitely more stressful to film (like meat alley etc) as everything is so unknown but at the same time it’s super fun to capture that uncertainty and going with the flow. Wish that had been jackfruit amok though 😆 we haven’t seen the real thing anywhere else since but will keep looking! I adore filming at local markets- they’re so stimulating. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, so glad you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
And with the pork rice breakfast, it was comforting to me that you didn't know exactly what sauce she poured on top and what pickled veg was served on the side. That's how many of my food choices end up. I'm sure you're with me on this but I've eaten things during my travels where I am still not quite sure what it was. 😂
Thanks for watching and commenting Samhean1! We love the food here in Cambodia 😍 hahaha my Khmer is so poor but everyone is so friendly here in trying to help me learn it 😄 hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Oh gosh it’s soooo good! This one was amazing, we went back a few times for it. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 it is such a great city! We honestly fell in love with Battambang. We had such an amazing time filming there. Hope you like what we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for the welcome mate! We love Cambodia so much. It’s a special country and we can’t wait to return to film more. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
This make me miss my hometown (seriously, I mean the food😋) there are some unique foods that I can’t find out off Battambang. I haven’t been there almost a year and I suppose to go this April but because of the virus I have to stay home. By the way thank for visiting my country 😊. Anyway I miss the breakfast at school with my friends.
So glad you enjoyed this one and it brought back some memories for you. We loved our time in Battambang. Hopefully you can make it back home soon. Stay safe. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi, nice to see both in Battambang. I miss those foods. The last one that you had, it is called Nom Achoa Tanoat. It is made from rice flour, palm fruit, palm guar/sugar, coconut milk on top, teamed in banana leaf. Some sellers they also add jack fruits
Yes! Thanks so much for that 😄 Do you live abroad? We loved the food culture in Cambodia- so much to explore. Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena
Too right! Talk about the best thing to have for school lunch. Better than the peanut butter sandwiches I used to have 😂 thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Thanks for filming and liking of cambodian foods. I must admit that the hygiene is sth needed to improve. Even a cambodian like me, eating foods like this might cause gastroenteritis from times to times, lol.
We loved our time in Cambodia! The street food was awesome 😍 luckily no issues with the tummy for us 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy our other Cambodia videos! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Khmer Boy, thanks for watching and commenting mate! We film street food all over the world and using gloves is actually pretty rare so it didn’t bother us 😄 We loved the food in Battambang so much. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series! Cheers, Sheena
Ah, you make me nostalgic: Battambang is my 'home' - but I got a job in China a couple of years ago, and haven't been able to get back very much. The school food market does one of the best bai sach chrouk I've had anywhere in Cambodia. I've never heard of the jackfruit amok. Did you manage to find it eventually? (You shame me with the effectiveness of your research! I live just a few minutes away from the Boeung Chhouk market, but you seem to know more about its treasures than I do.)
You must miss the food so much. We absolutely loved our time time. So neat eating outside the school! We never found jack fruit amok. We did more research and I think it might be something that only home cooks really do and even then it’s not very common. Thanks so much for watching this one and we hope it gave you a taste of home. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Thanks for watching Back Come 😄 we’re so happy you enjoyed this one! Battambang was amazing to explore- we loved the people and the food so much. Hope you like our other Cambodia videos. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😄 Cheers, Sheena
ive only been back with high rollers and corrupt govt officials, you showed me parts of the culture i never got to see. It's just amazing how the atmosphere seems so family like. Hard to explain, especially how they tried to get you included in cooking the deserts just for fun, it's not that they were trying to put you to work, they saw your curiosity and were like, don't be shy, have a go.
Hahaha I know that what their intention was, I was only poking fun 😄 We felt so welcome wherever we went. People were so friendly and happy to let us have a gawk and ask questions. We love Cambodia- would love to get back to eat and film more! Hope you enjoyed this series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Yea, imagine the kids in Cambodia having that for lunch. I grew up as a kid in Asia so I know how spoilt we were in terms of food no matter how 'everyday' or supposedly low in cost they were. I guess it's just cultural differences and the things we take 'pride' in. Food might be some countries' plus point but other aspects of the culture or the way the country is run might pale in comparison to those of other countries.
@@AO-iv6yr probably even better than some college campus foods. However, i did visit the highly acclaimed ucla dorm food and documented it on my page. 🙂
Amazing! Thanks so much mate- it’s so helpful to know this 😄 hope you enjoyed this video. We are eating so well in Cambodia! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I am especially enjoying this Cambodia series, since I'm heading there soon. You're getting me excited to go and eat! I appreciate your knowledge about the various dishes. I can tell you did a lot of research 🙂
@@SomrossMealea thanks so much for noticing 😄 How neat that you're heading this way soon- you are going to have such a great trip we bet and eat SO well! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 thanks so much Sophie Srey! We love Cambodia and are having the BEST time filming here. Thanks for watching and commenting on on this one, hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
I miss Cambodia so much. I'm visiting my country next month and I can't wait to sample the food again. I missed out on a lot last time. I had a lot of what you guys had all my life. But one thing I have always wanted to try was the Portuguese-Khmer deep fried goods they make in some Phnom Penh and Siem Reap markets. Things similar to Tempura and special crab ball croquettes with sticky rice breading. Hopefully you two have luck finding it.
Oh wow Portuguese-Khmer snacks?! They sound so interesting! I bet you can’t wait to get here mate- and I bet your list of things to eat is as long as your arm 😆 we are loving our time here- the people are amazing the culture is so fascinating to discover. Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series NIME 😄 Cheers, Sheena
You've got that right! But other than that, you two are doing really well finding some street food vendors that are actually good. I myself struggle to find a street food vendor that doesn't cook everything in a wok, including curries. So the bad thing about Khmer food that is amazing is that it takes too long to make. Kudos to you two for finding that red curry place that makes it properly.
Thanks so much mate! Hahaha yea good things take time 😆😆😆 but it’s always so worth it for the final result isn’t it? Looking forward to eating some more home style Khmer food like soups etc. 🤤
You got that right, all the best things take a while. Aside from trying all the new and improved street food. Those vendors have become more adept and creative at cooking, it quite inspiring to be honest. I think one day, I could invest in opening up a Khmer Sandwich shop. One thing I made was a spin on Chilli con Corne hotdogs, but instead of Chilli con corner, I used Prahok Ktiss and replaced the sausages with crispy veggies, grilled meat, cold Banh mi stuffing or using a big Spring roll as a substitute. I wonder if I'm onto a potential Khmer fast food chain that could go international?
It wasn’t jack fruit cake. It was palm rice cake. It made from ripe palm fruit juice,rice power, palm sugar and coconut milk. The custard on the top is made of coconut milk and rice powder
😘😘😘 thanks for your kind words mate! And for that info! What a lovely gesture by the lady who sold the sour fruits 😄 Glad we learnt the cake was palm cake- we ended up seeing it loads on our travels after this day! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
It’s a really charming city! Very small and quaint and the food is fantastic 😄 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this one and the rest of the Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
What you got at the end of this clip was a palm fruit rice cake with coconut milk on top/not jackfruit rice cake. I lived in that Battambang Province during the Killing Fields. I went there last year on December 26th-27th, just only for two days. I wished I could stay longer. I love street foods there. Next time, I will try eating rat meats!
Thanks so much for the info. We loved our time there. It’s a very special city. Cambodia has some very difficult history. It’s very sad to read about and to visit some of the sites while there. Thank you very much for watching this video. Cheers, Thomas
Sheena, you are supposed to spit out those tamarind seed. And BTW, it was the steam rice cake with coconut and jackfruit/palm fruit. Its a type of dessert. It's not called amok. Amok is rather a savory dish. First time watching Yr vdo. U both did a fantastic job. So lively and real. Keep it up!
🤣 I know, that seed was so bitter! And thanks for the info re the palm fruit cake. We were seeing lots of jackfruit ‘amok’ in home recipes which is why we thought it was this! So glad you enjoyed this video mate, hope you like the other content on our channel. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
WOW! I really appreciate your last couple videos on Cambodian food and markets! I will be moving to phnom penh in just under a month and your videos have highlighted some great spots outside of the normal tourist areas. while i was visiting thailand and vietnam i always enjoyed the local markets and areas over the beaten tourist trail! more videos!!! love em!
Hi mate, that is so exciting! So happy that our videos might be useful 😄 We love Cambodia- the people are so kind and the food culture is fascinating to uncover. We are very much into eating in the local spots so we hope the rest of the series gives you some ideas about foods and spots you can check out that might be more up your alley! Thanks for your generous comment and for taking the time to write. Thanks for watching 😄 Cheers, Sheena
😄😍😄😍 me too just thinking about the food we ate in this video! Hope it didn’t give you major cravings Lisa 😝 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
😍 so happy you enjoyed it Jo! It was a joy to film- we loved that “school canteen” so much and the market was such a stimulating and inspiring place. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
I loved the cut fruits..so cool and cheap..lol I think it's a good country to retire, it seems money could go a long way there. Are there lots of expats there?
There are a few Phoenix Legion! Especially in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. You definitely get a lot for your money. The food is especially great value. We adored our time in Cambodia. The people are so warm and friendly. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena

I love your videos. Thanks camera man and camera woman that take videos professional. I hope you enjoy with me too. Happy new year! 2020
OMG food over the fence was my school back in high school, I couldn’t recognize at first ( I haven’t been in the county for almost 10 years).
So excited watching your video, and even more excited when I’m flying there the end of January
😍😍😍😍 that’s so cool you’re heading back soon thenny chhorn! Bet you’re super excited. Omg that bai sach chrouk was so delicious. We went back twice after filming- such a great meal. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I am happy to see that you guyz are not afraid to get food from those little food vendors. Tourists are often afraid of those because of the hygiene standards but they really need to rely on selling their items for a living. Thanks for the lovely video! Keep up the great work.
Hi Luffy3D2Y, thanks for watching and commenting mate 😄 You’re so right- those vendors earn so little. We love getting into the eating at local markets like this one. So happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
My birth place, thank you for filming. I left the city 38 years ago. I miss it.
Hi David Seng, thanks for watching and commenting! Have you been back since? We found Battambang so magical- we met some amazing people and ate so well. We can’t wait to get back to Cambodia for more filming. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia videos! Cheers, Sheena

You guys are the first channel that make the food out of my country look really yummy. Mark Wien and Sunny used to try it but they couldn’t find the right food and spot to film. You guys have done a better job in this series. Keep up the good work and thank you.

In this video, the last dessert looks like sugar palm rice cake (with coconut milk on top) and in khmer language it is called Nom Akor Tnout (with Ktis Doung).
Thank you for visiting Cambodia and made vlog about local khmer food!🙏
Hi Sokvisal Long, thanks so much for that information 😄 it would have been perfect with a coffee that Nom Akor Tnout!

Cambodian people are still poor but thank you for introducing Khmer Cuisines to the world
Hi B k, thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, it is a very poor country and the struggle that a lot of people have to make a living is very evident. We have been so humbled by the welcome we have received when we have been filming by people who have so little. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate thank you so much for your sweet reply and I can not wait to see more series from your passionate vlog. Your Vlog looks so respectful and cheerful for the local culture and the way of people living. As Cambodian myself, I was so emotional and excited at the same time seeing your vlog about my own country cuisines that is so local and so all Khmer People eat daily.
I found you in FB but seeminly, there is no Videos in your FB page. I hope I got all these vidoes sharing on my account so alot of Cambodian people will be happy to join your journey about Cambodian cuisines
That is so neat B k 😄 We are just loving the food here and learning more about it is a joy. Thanks for sharing our posts on FB 😍 Yes no videos there just here on RUclips. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos we have coming from beautiful Cambodia 💕
I really miss my old country 🥺🇰🇭 hope you guys are visit to Siam reap, angkor wat temple

I’m so happy to see you guys visit my old country
All ma fav ..🤩
🤤🤤🤤 such a great day of eating. Thanks for watching and commenting- we miss Cambodia so much! Cheers, Sheena
The cake that you got is not jackfruit cake. It’s is palm fruit cake with coconut milk. It’s my favorite snack.
Thanks so much for that info mate 😄 it was tasty- should have had a coffee with it- would have made a great snack! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys thanks for sharing this video make me miss my country a lot especially Battambang is my hometown and all the places that you show I been there a lot before and my school, oh not try to correct you but that sour tamarins you have to spite the seed out because the seed is really bitter and the cake on the banana leaf it’s not jackfruit it’s palm fruit, thanks again for sharing I really miss my hometown
Amazing information! Thanks so much mate- that tamarind seed was SUPER bitter 😂 quite medicinal tasting. And thanks for the info re the palm fruit cake 😄 We loved Battambang so much- the people were so friendly and we ate so well. Hope you enjoy our next Battambang video mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
My family originally came from Battambang before Khmer Rogue, but we still have a lot of family members living there, so I been to Battambang a lot! It’s a great place!
I grew up in Mongkol Borey.
@@AlohaPanda it's such a quaint and charming city! We loved our time there so much. Hope you enjoy the second Battambang video we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena

this series is really eye opener.. wow... I never know Cambodia serve food in such setup..!
the market is also very unique.. the jackfruit coconut amok seems great.. you guys really great!
Thanks for watching mate and we are so happy you got to experience a Cambodian market through this video! Hahah the jackfruit amok that wasn’t. Hope we can find the real deal somewhere soon! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena 🤭 yup Thomas said that’s it something he expected so I look forward for the next episodes 🧐
Hi, Tomas and Sheena. Thanks for sharing Cambodian food especially in Battambang. I’m proud to say that your videos are underrated with your decent contents and editing. Keep up the good work. Love from Melbourne! Xo
Hi Kimsour yoeun, big love to you in Melbourne! Our former home 😍 so glad that you are enjoying our content- we are having such a blast filming in Cambodia- the food culture is fascinating to discover! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the content we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
My birth place , I am really miss so much🙏🙏🙏🙏 thanks you for sharing the world , its get me hungry so much
😍😍😍😍 do you live abroad now Sopha PG? We love Cambodia- amazing people and wonderful food. We can’t wait to return. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena yes eventhough i move here , i never forget my country , esp foods there , even u cook here but not the same flavor .
Such a vibrant culture! I admire how you do your best to interact with local vendors even with some "language barrier"... Friendliness and a smile are universal! Such a treat to watch this one!!!
Totally Rebecca! We feel like we’ve had so many conversations with people here despite the language barrier. Everyone is super friendly and kind. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, so happy you enjoyed it 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Thank you so much for making these videos especially the ones in Battambang. It reminds me how much I miss my hometown and all of those Bai Sach Jrouk I had everyday after class. The best thing was having a class just right in front of those food setups. I didn’t have to get out of the classroom to get the food. I just bought them through the window which was amazing 😄. Also, I am longing to have those sour fruit again. I got supper drooled by watching you ate the young sour green mango. I don’t think tamarind is supposed to be bitter unless you chew on its seeds. Anyway, thanks again for visiting Cambodia and making these wonderful videos. Lots of love.
Hi Andy, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment. I can see why you ate bai sach jrouk everyday- it was SO delicious. What a neat set up too. We loved Battambang- the food and the people were incredible. So glad you enjoyed this series! Cheers, Sheena P.S hahaha yes I ate the tamarind seeds- SO bitter! Now I know to avoid them next time 😆
I so happy because I live in that Country but my city is phom. Phen
We love Phnom Penh! We filmed a video there 😍 Hope you enjoy the series. We can’t wait to return! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Love Khmer foods ❤️🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
So do we! So much great food to explore. Thanks for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Very happy to see that you guys are eating from local basic food vendors in Khmer markets this way you are helping to promote their little businesses. Because I was in tight budget during my Cambodia trip I eat from lots of these places and I can say they gonna make people surprise
They’re great aren’t they mate? And it’s neat to support these small businesses, it’s the best way to discover a local food culture. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate they are definitely the best way to explore local taste. Because I have seen in Cambodia there many restaurants even small scales have manu for tourists. And Khmer people don't eat from there as it is not in their budget but also different
My mouth watered from looking at the bag of sour goodness🤤
😆😆😆🤤🤤🤤 they’re so delicious! So moreish. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Food over fence was quite unique...love u guys for sharing
So neat right?! I’d be eating that for lunch everyday if I was at school there 🤤 thanks for watching mate, so happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
That is the perfect fried egg to go with that grilled pork. And then the pickled veggies - yum! Such a cool setup with the fence too!
How neat is it?! We ate there a couple of times as it was so good. That egg 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting on this one guys! Cheers, Sheena
So glad to see you guys in Cambodia! Great video!! ❤️
😍😍😍 we are having such an amazing time filming here! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, so happy you enjoyed it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
So fun seeing you two try a spot/food for the first time without knowing everything going on. *_Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate and enjoy_* when you film your videos after scouting a few times and give us all the details -- "they've been here since 1964; their rice is from cousins in a neighboring village; the grilling technique was invented by their grandfather..." -- but I absolutely love when you jump in cold (like meat and smoke alleys, Mexico) and we see your reactions. So pure. Even though the num jak chol didn't blow you away, it's interesting see you try it. Outstanding day. Love pretty much any video from a fresh market. 😀👍
😄😄😄😄 thanks Tosh! They’re definitely more stressful to film (like meat alley etc) as everything is so unknown but at the same time it’s super fun to capture that uncertainty and going with the flow. Wish that had been jackfruit amok though 😆 we haven’t seen the real thing anywhere else since but will keep looking! I adore filming at local markets- they’re so stimulating. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, so glad you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
And with the pork rice breakfast, it was comforting to me that you didn't know exactly what sauce she poured on top and what pickled veg was served on the side. That's how many of my food choices end up. I'm sure you're with me on this but I've eaten things during my travels where I am still not quite sure what it was. 😂
Yes! Or you realise and have that a ha! moment a few months or years later as your palate and knowledge expands with time 😆😍
You guys are so brave to try all those foods. I love it that she's trying to speak Khmer! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting Samhean1! We love the food here in Cambodia 😍 hahaha my Khmer is so poor but everyone is so friendly here in trying to help me learn it 😄 hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Yes. I really enjoyed your video. You Khmer speaking is great. Keep it up! Thanks again.
I miss bai sach jruk, my favorite breakfast.
Oh gosh it’s soooo good! This one was amazing, we went back a few times for it. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
Welcome to my Homeland hope you enjoy Cambodia, my dad is from Battambang😀
Kikijade Asiangemz my grandpa 👴 hometown too
😍😍😍 it is such a great city! We honestly fell in love with Battambang. We had such an amazing time filming there. Hope you like what we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
@I am Thyda, Hey! Guess what? My name is Tidah also 👍🇰🇭 Cambo pride...
Kikijade Asiangemz Oh wow so cool
Welcome to cambodia♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the welcome mate! We love Cambodia so much. It’s a special country and we can’t wait to return to film more. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
This make me miss my hometown (seriously, I mean the food😋) there are some unique foods that I can’t find out off Battambang. I haven’t been there almost a year and I suppose to go this April but because of the virus I have to stay home. By the way thank for visiting my country 😊. Anyway I miss the breakfast at school with my friends.
So glad you enjoyed this one and it brought back some memories for you. We loved our time in Battambang. Hopefully you can make it back home soon. Stay safe. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi, nice to see both in Battambang. I miss those foods. The last one that you had, it is called Nom Achoa Tanoat. It is made from rice flour, palm fruit, palm guar/sugar, coconut milk on top, teamed in banana leaf. Some sellers they also add jack fruits
Thanks so much for the info. Are you from Battambang? Such a neat city. Thanks for watching this one. We hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas
That’s not jackfruit amok. It’s kind of palm fruit cake that have coconut milk on it. I miss the taste 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇰🇭 love Cambodia dessert.
Yes! Thanks so much for that 😄 Do you live abroad? We loved the food culture in Cambodia- so much to explore. Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena
yum
🤤🤤🤤
I'd go back to school for a breakfast like that!
Too right! Talk about the best thing to have for school lunch. Better than the peanut butter sandwiches I used to have 😂 thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were my lunch time standard! I've had my fill of them! I want what they were having!...Lol!
the last sweet isn't produce from jackfruit but from palm fruit .
Thanks so much for that information mate! People have been so helpful in letting us know this 😄
Thanks for filming and liking of cambodian foods. I must admit that the hygiene is sth needed to improve. Even a cambodian like me, eating foods like this might cause gastroenteritis from times to times, lol.
We loved our time in Cambodia! The street food was awesome 😍 luckily no issues with the tummy for us 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy our other Cambodia videos! Cheers, Sheena
It would be better if they wear plastic gloves when serving food.😂😂😂 My Khmer having a little cleaning issues. Hope yall don't mind. 😂😂😂😂
Hi Khmer Boy, thanks for watching and commenting mate! We film street food all over the world and using gloves is actually pretty rare so it didn’t bother us 😄 We loved the food in Battambang so much. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Cambodia series! Cheers, Sheena
sovath van wait how gloves spread more bacteria and germs
Clean their hand is better than gain more plastic.
Ah, you make me nostalgic: Battambang is my 'home' - but I got a job in China a couple of years ago, and haven't been able to get back very much. The school food market does one of the best bai sach chrouk I've had anywhere in Cambodia.
I've never heard of the jackfruit amok. Did you manage to find it eventually? (You shame me with the effectiveness of your research! I live just a few minutes away from the Boeung Chhouk market, but you seem to know more about its treasures than I do.)
You must miss the food so much. We absolutely loved our time time. So neat eating outside the school! We never found jack fruit amok. We did more research and I think it might be something that only home cooks really do and even then it’s not very common. Thanks so much for watching this one and we hope it gave you a taste of home. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Awesome , a like for this vdo and a subscribe to your channel
Thanks for watching Back Come 😄 we’re so happy you enjoyed this one! Battambang was amazing to explore- we loved the people and the food so much. Hope you like our other Cambodia videos. Thanks for taking the time to comment 😄 Cheers, Sheena
ive only been back with high rollers and corrupt govt officials, you showed me parts of the culture i never got to see. It's just amazing how the atmosphere seems so family like. Hard to explain, especially how they tried to get you included in cooking the deserts just for fun, it's not that they were trying to put you to work, they saw your curiosity and were like, don't be shy, have a go.
Hahaha I know that what their intention was, I was only poking fun 😄 We felt so welcome wherever we went. People were so friendly and happy to let us have a gawk and ask questions. We love Cambodia- would love to get back to eat and film more! Hope you enjoyed this series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
3:00 I must say, that has got to be the best school food in existence!
What are the poor kids in the US eating in their schools? ☹
Yea, imagine the kids in Cambodia having that for lunch. I grew up as a kid in Asia so I know how spoilt we were in terms of food no matter how 'everyday' or supposedly low in cost they were. I guess it's just cultural differences and the things we take 'pride' in. Food might be some countries' plus point but other aspects of the culture or the way the country is run might pale in comparison to those of other countries.
@@AO-iv6yr probably even better than some college campus foods. However, i did visit the highly acclaimed ucla dorm food and documented it on my page. 🙂
Too right, I’d definitely be happy with those stalls as my canteen 🙌 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Last one is Palm Sugar Ah Kal with jack fruit and coconut milk topping.
Thanks for the info mate! Hope you enjoyed the video, we love filming in Cambodia. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
The cupcake you mistaked for amok knao looks like "nom akao thnaot" which is a palm-flavored steamed rice cake.
Amazing! Thanks so much mate- it’s so helpful to know this 😄 hope you enjoyed this video. We are eating so well in Cambodia! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I am especially enjoying this Cambodia series, since I'm heading there soon. You're getting me excited to go and eat! I appreciate your knowledge about the various dishes. I can tell you did a lot of research 🙂
@@SomrossMealea thanks so much for noticing 😄 How neat that you're heading this way soon- you are going to have such a great trip we bet and eat SO well! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
Pork, fried egg with a perfect yolk and rice
I'm loving that plate already even before trying it
It was sensational! We went back again for it the next day 🤤
Thanks you guys for coming and pending your time I really enjoy your video
😍😍😍 thanks so much Sophie Srey! We love Cambodia and are having the BEST time filming here. Thanks for watching and commenting on on this one, hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Cambodia episode number two! Yaaassss
😍😍😍😍 hope you guys are liking this series. We are having such a blast filming it!! Cheers, Sheena
I miss Cambodia so much. I'm visiting my country next month and I can't wait to sample the food again. I missed out on a lot last time.
I had a lot of what you guys had all my life. But one thing I have always wanted to try was the Portuguese-Khmer deep fried goods they make in some Phnom Penh and Siem Reap markets. Things similar to Tempura and special crab ball croquettes with sticky rice breading.
Hopefully you two have luck finding it.
Oh wow Portuguese-Khmer snacks?! They sound so interesting! I bet you can’t wait to get here mate- and I bet your list of things to eat is as long as your arm 😆 we are loving our time here- the people are amazing the culture is so fascinating to discover. Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series NIME 😄 Cheers, Sheena
You've got that right! But other than that, you two are doing really well finding some street food vendors that are actually good.
I myself struggle to find a street food vendor that doesn't cook everything in a wok, including curries. So the bad thing about Khmer food that is amazing is that it takes too long to make. Kudos to you two for finding that red curry place that makes it properly.
Thanks so much mate! Hahaha yea good things take time 😆😆😆 but it’s always so worth it for the final result isn’t it? Looking forward to eating some more home style Khmer food like soups etc. 🤤
You got that right, all the best things take a while.
Aside from trying all the new and improved street food. Those vendors have become more adept and creative at cooking, it quite inspiring to be honest.
I think one day, I could invest in opening up a Khmer Sandwich shop. One thing I made was a spin on Chilli con Corne hotdogs, but instead of Chilli con corner, I used Prahok Ktiss and replaced the sausages with crispy veggies, grilled meat, cold Banh mi stuffing or using a big Spring roll as a substitute.
I wonder if I'm onto a potential Khmer fast food chain that could go international?
NIME 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 yasssss do it!!
You know so much about foods. Great video. You’re the best.
The sour fruit lady said she gave you extra. You are so welcome in Cambodia.
It wasn’t jack fruit cake. It was palm rice cake. It made from ripe palm fruit juice,rice power, palm sugar and coconut milk. The custard on the top is made of coconut milk and rice powder
😘😘😘 thanks for your kind words mate! And for that info! What a lovely gesture by the lady who sold the sour fruits 😄 Glad we learnt the cake was palm cake- we ended up seeing it loads on our travels after this day! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Yay another video to share to my mom. Thanks especially since it is at Battambang.
😍😄😍😄 we loved Battambang! Such a neat city and the people and food were awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
We’ve been to Siem Reap many times but never been to any other cities. We would definitely like to visit Battambang next time!
It’s a really charming city! Very small and quaint and the food is fantastic 😄 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this one and the rest of the Cambodia series. Cheers, Sheena
What you got at the end of this clip was a palm fruit rice cake with coconut milk on top/not jackfruit rice cake. I lived in that Battambang Province during the Killing Fields. I went there last year on December 26th-27th, just only for two days. I wished I could stay longer. I love street foods there. Next time, I will try eating rat meats!
Thanks so much for the info. We loved our time there. It’s a very special city. Cambodia has some very difficult history. It’s very sad to read about and to visit some of the sites while there. Thank you very much for watching this video. Cheers, Thomas
Me and my boi seeing this video yoooo they took our seat lol
😄😄😄😄 Thanks for watching guys! We love Cambodia so much. Hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Sheena, you are supposed to spit out those tamarind seed. And BTW, it was the steam rice cake with coconut and jackfruit/palm fruit. Its a type of dessert. It's not called amok. Amok is rather a savory dish. First time watching Yr vdo. U both did a fantastic job. So lively and real. Keep it up!
🤣 I know, that seed was so bitter! And thanks for the info re the palm fruit cake. We were seeing lots of jackfruit ‘amok’ in home recipes which is why we thought it was this! So glad you enjoyed this video mate, hope you like the other content on our channel. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
WOW! I really appreciate your last couple videos on Cambodian food and markets! I will be moving to phnom penh in just under a month and your videos have highlighted some great spots outside of the normal tourist areas. while i was visiting thailand and vietnam i always enjoyed the local markets and areas over the beaten tourist trail! more videos!!! love em!
Hi mate, that is so exciting! So happy that our videos might be useful 😄 We love Cambodia- the people are so kind and the food culture is fascinating to uncover. We are very much into eating in the local spots so we hope the rest of the series gives you some ideas about foods and spots you can check out that might be more up your alley! Thanks for your generous comment and for taking the time to write. Thanks for watching 😄 Cheers, Sheena

the very last thing you ate with coconut milk on top is the palm fruit steam cake =)
Thanks so much for the info and thanks for watching this one. We hope to enjoyed it! Cheers, Thomas 😀
I loved the cut fruits..so cool and cheap..lol I think it's a good country to retire, it seems money could go a long way there. Are there lots of expats there?
There are a few Phoenix Legion! Especially in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. You definitely get a lot for your money. The food is especially great value. We adored our time in Cambodia. The people are so warm and friendly. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena
