Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisines are rich in flavour, reflecting their shared history and geographical proximity.

One of the most iconic dishes is phở, a fragrant noodle soup with beef or chicken and fresh herbs.

A standout dish is amok, a coconut milk-based curry made with fish, turmeric, and lemongrass, often steamed in a banana leaf.
