Damn she is making me cry because that's how my parents and grandparents raised me. Taught me to understand Cambodian history, food, culture and the genocide. I love this and I want to go to Nyum Bai & chat with Chef Nite. Thank you for sharing this.
This is what I admire about the USA. I'm not American, but I've always felt that the US is like a library of the world. People from all over the world arrive and share their knowledge and skills with their new Homeland. It allows America to experience many pleasures and flavors from different parts of the world.
I am american, and I agree. Frankly, it's what I love most about this country. However, I'm fearful of our future here in the US with regards to new immigrants and what rights they'll have if they are even allowed in... Its a really disgusting period in our history right now. But every american should read what you wrote... we are special BECAUSE of our diversity and there is no need to wage war upon it. My love from the US, avienblue!
That’s actually what sucks about being American- people lose touch with their roots in a melting pot society. Most of us have no clue about our family histories outside of DNA tests.
Fellow Cambodian from San Diego CA, really good at representing Khmer culture. The tragedy with the genocide will not hold Cambodian people down. We as KHMER will prosper and on the way to getting the recognition we deserve. Thanks for the video. We need a Part 2.
I left Cambodia when I was 1 (as a refugee) and I only returned recently. Even though I didn't speak much khmer, they all treated me so warmly. I think all khmer people need to visit. It's very hard to put into words my experience while I was there, but I immediately felt like I was "home" when I arrived at my father's village.
Cambodian 'breakfast' soup is easily one of my top 2 noodle soups in the world. I traveled there for like a month and I wanted to have that soup 24/7. It's just perfection. My mouth waters just thinking about it!! Lovely country, delicious food and one of the most tragic periods in history, and yet one of the nicest, warmest people you'll ever meet. Very beautiful work this chef is doing and all the thought and soul she's putting into it!
Thanks sis you did great to represent Cambodia and Cambodian's food to the world as people always knows Cambodia through the story about Genocide or Angkor Wat as you said, but our Cambodian food are amazing people should try. I'm happy to see you share all of these to the world 🙂 #khmerpride
*I live in Canada, and I think I've only ever seen like 3 Cambodian restaurants in my whole life!* There needs to be more, and Vietnamese people really need to experience their neighbours' cuisine!
I know so much about the cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia but have almost zero knowledge of Cambodian food and popular dishes. This was a great episode. 👍👍
There’s this Cambodian mom and pop restaurant in SD that I’ve been going for like 10 years. It’s one of my favorite food. The owners work every day. They’re literally the hardest working people I know. I hope her kids learn the ways or I’ll be left without my Cambodian food because they’re getting old.
You must learn to create new dishes to be very successful and must taste very very good, create new foods and desserts, making same foods is going nowhere.
@@naratiang6220 i study entrepreneur and inventor for 6 years,I open Chinese bakery company and packages foods businesses.I learn to make toys,snack, candy, jewelry, furniture, home decorations, kitchen tools, package foods, cleaning tools, fashion designer ,sneakers ,fruit drink, exercise products ,create new foods and desserts, electric tools ,cake, ice cream and lots more just need an ideas,I learn from youtube,internet, books,watch and learn from american people.
@@naratiang6220 you must learn to be very smart like american people they has lots of ideas and can make anything to sell,they are very super smart in entrepreneur and inventor.
Welcome to America - the land of opportunity. This is what makes America unique. Irrespective of your background, if you work hard you will achieve your goal. Sure there will be some obstacles. But as long as you don’t give up, you will see the light. Great job little sis! I’m proud of you.
2ndgeneration here. I was raised eating Cambodian food but unfortunately can’t speak it so I feel “less” Cambodian...so happy to see someone passionate about sharing the culture to everyone and showing us the food. So sad how people know lots about Vietnam orThailand and little did they know a gem is right in between them. But it goes the same for countries like Myanmar, Burma, Nepal etc.
So beautiful and talented Chef ! We’ll miss our Kmer authentic foods dishes your the deal sister so happy for you . You look humbly and real Cambodian woman 🥰💐💕🙏🏽
Nyum Bai is great, creative, smart idea to come up with that name,most khmer restaurant is name Apsara,Bayon,Angkor Wat,so Nyum Bai is very unique name.I wish your restaurant become very successful.
I am interested in Canbodian people and culture. And I am a filipino. It was very enlightening that the Philippines had many cambodian refugees stay there during their transition to other countries.
I don’t think she ever wanted people to forget the negative events, rather, she wants to give people a comforting memory to start the conversation to heal the wounds from those negative times. In her case, she’d use food that her parents enjoyed in Cambodia to make them remember good times. Once they were reminiscing, they could then explore with a more open heart. I cannot imagine the horrors they witnessed and what they had to do to escape Cambodia and rebuild their lives, but it has to weigh heavily at times. It should never be forgotten, but you do have to move forward. She is using food as a way to heal.
A beautiful representation of Cambodian cuisine and Nite is captivating and well spoken. Sheldon was a gracious and cheerful host! Such a wonderfully made video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much for this video I was trying extremely hard to hold back tears. You helped bring back wonderful memories as a child I thought I had lost, the smell, the people summer days that would last forever. All in a span of 9 minutes you returned to me 40 years. I love Cambodian food and I hope people who have not tried it get a chance to enjoy yourself.
Watching this really brought me back to my childhood. It's so true when she talks about our traumatic history overshadowing how unique Khmer culture is. Our food is the bomb! Chef Yun clearly knows her stuff, I must try when I'm in the area! If you guys liked this, try Simply Khmer out in Lowell, Massachusetts. Some of the best Khmer food outside Cambodia. Also love me some khmer rock and roll!
A lot of south eastern restaurants list as Thai/Vietnamese as that's more popular and will bring people in--even those that specialize in Cambodian food. Same with Laos restaurants. Ironically most owners of authentic Thai places are actually Laotian because they share so much in culture. You just gotta go in and check it out to see if it's authentic or not.
What I grew up on!!! Ugh I wish we had a real good place in Mass. Miss my parents cooking!!! 😭😭 Khmer food is underrated. Fresh food with a rich taste.
Hearing her describe using authentic food as a means of starting a conversation with another generation traumatized from war was legitimately powerful. Oh and the food looked delicious.
Thx for spreading this khmer dish as many people have known for Thailand and vietnam dishes but they all thought cambodia is the same as one.... Thx q And i always eat kouy teav every morning,it taste great
Omg!!!! Khmer food. It looks so good. I want some authentic Cambodian food.it brings back memories. Lol old folk song growing up listening to this is making me hungry and cravings.
The Cambodian noodle soup Vietnamese people also eat. There is a dry version with broth on the side as well. In San Jose there are several restaurant's that specialize in that dish.
The meals look amazing and the khmer lady is so attractive and interactive! Yes, rhythm intended :p sadly there’s no cambodian restaurant since i live in a small city but i’d gladly consider one when i’m going out!
It’s crazy because im Cambodian too but i was born and raised on the east coast and have never been to Oakland but the way she explains her childhood growing up and the food she eats, is so similar to the way me and my cousins grew up in Rhode Island/mass
The Phnom Penh noodles are somewhat widely available in Southern Vietnam by the name "Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang". Usually there they add also pork liver and heart with a quail egg. Good stuff.
Southern Vietnam used to be Souther Cambodia. Maybe the French can explain about the politic side of the story on how it happened. But, I’m just giving you the FYI why PP noodles was widely available in “Southern Vietnam”. If you’re Thai and you want some noodles you will make the famous boat noodles. If you are Vietnamese and you want some noodles you’ll make Pho noodles. I hope you got that
There aren't any Cambodian restaurants where I live but hopefully on my next visit to Cali we are eating there. It all looked homey and delicious. Thank you for sharing
She represent Cambodian cuisine and culture very well.. Much respect!
She does, simple things in life only needs
Damn she is making me cry because that's how my parents and grandparents raised me. Taught me to understand Cambodian history, food, culture and the genocide. I love this and I want to go to Nyum Bai & chat with Chef Nite.

To read this from someone who isn't American -- in a time when many of us are ashamed/frightened to be American -- is immensely comforting. Thank you!

Not Cambodian, but from Long Beach. This makes me want to go to Phnom Penh Noodle so bad.
@@jackrabbit08 lol I'm fellow jackrabbit too lol!! Yessss the noodle shack!!
Lowell and the Boston area should be the real Khmertown.
Thank you for introducing us to Nyum Bai and Chef Nite Yun. Her family stories really made the difference.

Oh this is just said
You need to try our raw beef it's bomb 😎
Cambodian rice noodles the best. Uncle Roger is a hater telling the food is not good.
She’s gorgeous and seems very interesting. She should have her own show.
Netflix 2024
She needs her own show. I can listen to her all day. And she uses my dad's recipe.
You go my fellow Khmer sister!!! May your business forever be prosperous!
She’s a truly a wonderful Cambodian woman.. I haven’t had a chance to meet her yet but I have had her food! I live up the street lol
Awesome to see her do this for Cambodia! Good on ya!

Thank you sister for your best presentation of khmer food. From cambodia.
Khmer people are so kind & their cuisine is amazing!
The song from the 60's GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!!! Hearing these songs in this video made me full.
I'd love to try this. We need more Cambodian food in Toronto !
The background Khmer music takes me back to when my parents were playing them in our car ride to anywhere! Great job Chef!
Omg finally Cambodia food raises back. Proud of her 😘❤️

My family 🇰🇭 stayed in the Philippines 🇵🇭 in a refugee camp for a year before coming to the USA 🇺🇸
Such a heartwarming video...chef nite yungs kicks ass and yet comes across as such an endearing soul...im sold
She really is totally wonderful!
i like her philosophy, forget the negative events that happened and just spread positive memories through food. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Love her personality!
Thanks for covering an amazing restaurant & chef !
Love Cambodian Food !
This was an amazing episode. Super like. In my city search for Cambodian restaurants on yelp only brings up Thai restaurants.
A lot of south eastern restaurants list as Thai/Vietnamese as that's more popular and will bring people in--even those that specialize in Cambodian food. Same with Laos restaurants. Ironically most owners of authentic Thai places are actually Laotian because they share so much in culture. You just gotta go in and check it out to see if it's authentic or not.
Love her voice
SF/Bay area totally kills it with the food scene. Would love to visit this restaurant!
Mmm Prahok Ktiss is one of my favorites! I live in the Bay Area and never knew about this place! Definitely gonna go there.
I wonder if I can order from this restaurant during the quarantine? Looks AMAZING!! my mouth is watering.
This video made me tear up a little, makes me proud to be Cambodian!
What I grew up on!!! Ugh I wish we had a real good place in Mass. Miss my parents cooking!!! 😭😭 Khmer food is underrated. Fresh food with a rich taste.
Leda Botelho what are you taking about? Lowell has a bunch of good Cambodian restaurants. What part of mass are you from?
In Lowell they are everywhere, restaurants and other food markets
Try simply in lowell
Jose Poncho Villa I agree with Simply
You ever been to Lynn or Lowell?
Hearing her describe using authentic food as a means of starting a conversation with another generation traumatized from war was legitimately powerful. Oh and the food looked delicious.
I miss Kuy Teav Phnom Penh noodle soup. Great to see chef Yun promoting Khmer cuisine. 🙏🏼
This was awesome. Keep it up Sheldon.
You doing great job thanks for sharing, keep that spirit up
Looks good, I'll stop by if ever I'm in town.
I just love this episode again...more SOUTH EAST ASIAN VIDEOS..
Funk food city!! Drool mode went up majorly. Thanks for showing this! Made my day
Probably the most pretty chef ever.
Thx for spreading this khmer dish as many people have known for Thailand and vietnam dishes but they all thought cambodia is the same as one....
Thx q
And i always eat kouy teav every morning,it taste great
I'm vietnamese and I've eaten many papaya salad from different countries and I say Cambodia makes the best.
She is so beautiful with a beautiful heart.
OMG! I love this! I salute you bong! Cant wait to get back to the west coast and drop by!
Omg!!!! Khmer food. It looks so good. I want some authentic Cambodian food.it brings back memories. Lol old folk song growing up listening to this is making me hungry and cravings.
Cambodian pride ❤️
Omg! Definitely will visit.
She is pretty
Eric, I totally agree. I thinks she’s pretty and cute.
She is, beautiful glowing skin and very smooth. And she seems very nice. :)
And that's what really really counts when you are working 80 hours a week as a chef running your own restaurant.
Look really delicious!! yeah the soup too..!
I loved prahok ktiss,it's my favorites dish among cambodian's cuisine..
I love my Cambodian cuisine, especially thuk prahok..
Don't sleep on Cambodian food y'all if you haven't go try it asap!
Let me list a few
Mi ka tung
Kathew
Sach ko loc lac
Bok lahung
Sach ko thuk prohok
Amok
Pumpeet
I have to visit from MI! Very nice episode.
Wow ! She's gorgeous ! I had better take another look to check whether they actually cooked anything.
The Cambodian noodle soup Vietnamese people also eat. There is a dry version with broth on the side as well. In San Jose there are several restaurant's that specialize in that dish.
Cambodian REPRESENT!!! Wish to go there one day :)
I appreciate whats she doing
The meals look amazing and the khmer lady is so attractive and interactive! Yes, rhythm intended :p sadly there’s no cambodian restaurant since i live in a small city but i’d gladly consider one when i’m going out!
Happy for my cambodian ppl good job👍👍
It’s crazy because im Cambodian too but i was born and raised on the east coast and have never been to Oakland but the way she explains her childhood growing up and the food she eats, is so similar to the way me and my cousins grew up in Rhode Island/mass
The best Cambo soup I ever had was at Phnom Bokor in Cambodia. So perfect!
LMAO Cambodians and their gambling, man. We all have that one uncle.
plaxticwrap ...and aunt
My whole damn family gambles. I have aunts and uncles who always ask my broke ass to borrow money.
😂 facts
True , they are investing in someone else's future lol
Yum!! I love having the noodles 'dry' too! Soup on the side, mix a bit of noodles with all the toppings, a bit of soy sauce and sugar!
The Phnom Penh noodles are somewhat widely available in Southern Vietnam by the name "Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang". Usually there they add also pork liver and heart with a quail egg. Good stuff.
Nam Vang means Phnom Penh anyway :D, love that dish, refreshing.
An Ngo Các món cũng ngon, nhưng tôi thích hủ tiếu hơn. ;)
tôi thích bún riêu hơn ;).
Props to your vietnamese 🙌🏾
Southern Vietnam used to be Souther Cambodia. Maybe the French can explain about the politic side of the story on how it happened.

Thank you for represented for our country!
Love this! So much flavor in Khmer cuisine
There aren't any Cambodian restaurants where I live but hopefully on my next visit to Cali we are eating there. It all looked homey and delicious. Thank you for sharing
The restaurant literally translates to “eat rice” Hey, wanna go Nyum Bai?? 😭😭😭
@@janpello nyum prorhok is better
Looks mouthwatering! I am definitely going to eat there when I come up to NorCal.
Cambodian food is the most under rated Asian food. It has an intense and combination of flavors! The best!
Full Support and love from cambodia
This looks fantastic! I can't wait to try it!
Love prahok ktiss!
My Grandma was the Khmer Sausage Lady...Love her.
Cambodian pho is combo. My mom and I love eating at this one joint that serves Cambodian pho.
Sheldon brings out the best in every chef.
