The Sugar Palm

Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in Siem Reap, Cambodia

"A restaurant preserving Khmer cooking methods, offering dishes like amok trei and prahok kh'tih."

"Tuck into Cambodian food in a traditional house The Sugar Palm restaurant is the first Cambodian restaurant that many visitors to Siem Reap try, and it often becomes a favorite. The food is some of the most delicious, traditional, home-style Cambodian food in the country. It also happens to be served in a very traditional, Khmer teak-wood house, with high ceilings and wide verandahs—oozing atmosphere. Everything on offer is scrumptious, from the amok trei or fish amok, to the hearty Cambodian chicken curry. If you're not a fan of pungent and sour flavors but want to try one of Cambodia's quintessential ingredients, prahok (fermented fish), then this is the restaurant to do it. The prahok k'tis (a minced pork dip made with prahok) is a fairly tame albeit still very tasty iteration of the dish. The owner-chef, Cambodian-New Zealander Kethana Dunnett, is often around if you have questions about the cuisine. Kethana is the go-to person for celebrity chefs -- from Gordon Ramsay to Luke Nguyen -- when they are in the country filming food programs, and she certainly knows her stuff."

Why Kampot pepper is spicing up palates around the world - SilverKris

"In Siem Reap at The Sugar Palm, Cambodian celebrity chef Kethana Dunnet—drawing inspiration from her mother's cooking—uses Kampot pepper in dishes such as tender squid stir-fried with Kampot pepper." - Denis D Gray
