Great Grills and Amazing Food. Sunday Street Food Market at 7NG Park, Cambodia - Asian Street food

Cambodia boasts one of the most important street food traditions in the world. Wherever you are strolling in a market, near a bus station or along a street, food will be everywhere and always around you, because the Cambodia people like enjoy food everywhere, every hour of the day and night and they do it with true passion. Street food in Cambodia brings together a wide range of ready-to-eat meals, soups, meat or seafood snacks, exotic fruits and local drinks sold by vendors at food stalls situated on every street side or market through the whole country.

It's amazing the endless variety of dishes, culinary combinations and flavours that the Khmer's street food offers. Tastes are simple, harmonious and well mixed with each other, perhaps some of them unusually. Enjoying Thai street food at an open air market or in a floating market is a popular itinerary for visitors, as it offers a glance of Khmer culinary tradition. The small stalls placed inside the markets sell all kinds of street food, including skewers of shrimp or squid cooked on small barbecues, shellfish and grilled fish, beef and pork snacks on sticks, other sellers offer noodle soups, sweet snacks and desserts. There is scarcely a dish of traditional Khmer cuisine that is not sold by a street vendor in a market somewhere in Cambodia. The culture of open-air market is rooted in the Khmer people, as where there is a market there is food to eat.

 

Most food markets in Cambodia are large open air halls with permanent stalls that operate as a collection of street hawkers. Some vendors sell only pre-cooked foods, others make food to order. The dishes can be quickly cooked on small gas stoves or charcoal barbecues. Some small stalls specialize in one or two dishes, while the most supplied offer a nearly complete menu comparable to that of restaurants. These large stalls have their own set of tables and chairs, provide a limited service and resemble the food courts at shopping malls. Here, for a small sum of baht you can gorge yourself on everything in sight.
