    Way back in the ealrly 2003, there was a restaurant called Pralork which is to your right as you face the river. It was a high end back then for the foreigners. I was there for one thing on the menu. It was sach ko teuk prahok, steak with prahok dip or sauce. A lot of foreigners don't like prahok. They will change their mind when they sach ko teuk prahok. Letter K is not pronounced like K in the west. It is the third letter or alphabet of Cambodian language.

    • @itchyfeetonthecheap
      @itchyfeetonthecheap  9 місяців тому +5

      I love the way they serve grilled beef in Cambodia. The prahok adds a sharp funkiness - almost like steak and blue cheese. Sadly, a lot of the restaurants along the riverside aren't Khmer. To get the really good Khmer food, I go to BKK3.

      @itchyfeetonthecheap things have changed. And there are famous lort cha a couple street from the river front. I didn't like because it was full of grease. Cambodians packed those places all the time. There two things I love to eat in general. Grilled beef stick and those huge fresh water prawn with long arms. They are the best of the whole world.

    • @itchyfeetonthecheap
      @itchyfeetonthecheap  7 місяців тому

      So this video is the water festival, which is different from the Khmer New Year, or Songkran in Thailand. During KNY Siem Reap has a lot of water fights, but Phnom Penh isn't as crazy. There will be celebrations, Wat Phnom will have traditional games, probably some fireworks along the river. A few hotel options that overlook the river: TAO Riverside Residence, New Season Riverside Hotel, Angkor Mithona Guest House... I haven't stayed in all these though and don't really know much about them. Good luck.

We created and developed it until it became our tradition. It has nothing to do with Cambodia. Cambodian people claim everything. To the point that Cambodian people cannot distinguish between what belongs to other people and what belongs to Cambodians. Shameless.
