Phnom Pehn Cambodia Street Food Greens Platter dailyfoodphotography
Cambodian greens have just arrived at my gleaming metal table in the capital city of Phnom Pehn. I love my greens and this is a huge amount of a type I have never seen before. They were succulent!
The stick-like things were crunchy and juicy at the same time. The leaves were very tender with a lovely mild flavor. It looks like you need to rip these apart aggressively but instead they are crisp and soft and delicious.
I’m with my same tuk tuk driver who got me my previous Cambodian meal of meat on a stick the other day. Now I had asked him to take me to dinner and here were my requirements:
- Healthy bbq'd meat, seafood or fish that he personally knew of locally
- Greens and fresh veggies
- No sauce
- Someplace where tourists do not go
- Good chairs so I can sit like God intended and not only 1 foot off the ground! It's hard for me to sit on a little stool and relax and eat. Tiny stools make my meals a work out just to stay seated.
This is were we ended up and I had one of the best meals of the entire two years I’ve been in SE Asia. If this is all I eat for the rest of my life I will be so happy.
Both the tuk tuk driver and the lady chef were stunned I wanted to be there in the first place and that I was so overwhelmingly happy the whole time. I will show you the entire meal over a few posts and you will see why I was so thrilled. But for now – just check out these scrumptious greens! Those sticks snap!
I will tell you about the reddish stuff behind the greens in one of my next posts, so stay tuned!

Got to get those greens to keep healthy, and, erm, regular! Knowing and respecting the locals is the best and only way to get the good stuff, good on you for getting away from the beaten path! There's more to Cambodian food than amok (a mild fish curry). Nice post.
