Want to learn about Cambodian cuisine? Take a virtual trip to this southeast Asian nation with Luu Meng, head chef of Malis restaurant in Phnom Penh.
Luu says, “When I was a boy, I helped my mother in her noodle shop in Phnom Penh. That’s where I learnt about noodles, flavourings and how to make a broth. She and my grandmother, a chef in the royal palace, gave me my love of cooking. I went to cookery school in Thailand before working in Singapore and Malaysia, but I was drawn back to my roots.
I travelled Cambodia, exploring regional dishes and lost recipes. I wanted to revive and refine traditional Khmer cuisine. Modern Cambodian food is a combination of native Khmer traditions infused with French, Indian and Chinese influences.”
