Food Trip Friday 013: Steamed Fish
Posted by

Again, a favorite fare whenever we are in Kep. Kim Ly's restaurant never fails to satisfy stomachs hungry for seafood!
Steamed fish with soy sauce and garlic, served on a bed of fresh herbs, cucumber, tomato, lettuce and onion. Ooh-la-la!

Food Trip Friday 012: Mok chaa mareth
Posted by

One of the reasons why my husband and I keep on coming back to Kep:
Seafoods trip!
Above is our favorite, mok chaa mareth kchhay (fried squid with young peppercorn). Fresh squid caught the night before from the Gulf of Thailand, blended with oyster and chilli sauces, and spiced up with Kampot peppercorn grown in the lush mountains of Phnom Voar, the last refuge of Khmer Rouge soldiers. We washed down the spicy flavor with fresh coconut juice. Hayyy, heaven on earth!
I tried several times to cook this at home but I never got the taste right. Oh well, as wise folks say... try and try... and try again.
