Cambodia, the Kingdom of Wonder Invites You to Discover the Delights of Khmer Cuisine in this Mouth-watering ‘Taste Cambodia’ Video.
Cambodia has been one of the most successful countries in the world in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, recording extremely low case numbers by global standards. The vaccination rollout in Cambodia is one of the best in Asia and Phnom Penh is the most vaccinated capital city in Southeast Asia with more than 80% first doses given and more than 50% second doses. The Cambodian capital is on course to be entirely vaccinated during June 2021. Thanks to one of the best managed vaccine rollouts in the ASEAN region, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) is looking to open to international tourists in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Cambodia is known as the Kingdom of Wonder, a “Small Country with a Big Heart”. Long a bucket list destination thanks to the eighth wonder of the world, Angkor Wat, it is also home to one of the least-recognised cuisines in the world. The mouth-watering flavours are based on the natural and cultural heritage of this beautiful country and help make Cambodia the perfect destination for your first foray in the post-pandemic world of travel.
Check out the new ‘Taste Cambodia’ video which takes viewers on a culinary journey through the Kingdom. This inspirational short film showcases some of the best destinations in the country, including the majestic temples of Angkor, iconic locations like the Royal Palace, National Museum and Central Market in Phnom Penh, Kep Crab Market, La Plantation Pepper Farm and Song Saa Private Island on the South Coast, and Elephant Valley Project and Jahoo Gibbon Camp in Mondulkiri.
Gastronomic highlights include Kep crab and Kampot pepper on the South Coast, naom ben chok noodles and prahoc ktis in Siem Reap, learning to prepare amok in a cooking class at Sala Kdei overlooking the Royal Bathing Pond of Sra Srang, Bunong pork and eggplant stew in bamboo in Mondulkiri, pomelo and shrimp salad on the banks of the Mekong River in Kratie, and discovering the diversity of the street food scene in Phnom Penh.
Commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism (MOT) of Cambodia with support from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) as part of the Tourism Commercial Capacity Building Program (TCBP) in the Kingdom, the video was entirely shot on location in Cambodia by leading local production company Hanuman Films.
