Amok is a popular Cambodian dish which some have likened to the American Hamburger....but only inasmuch as it's eaten frequently. The traditional (and most popular) recipe uses fish, however, it is quite acceptable to use chicken, lobster and even escargot (snails). The other main ingredients are coconut milk and turmeric which are essential to the dish.
After our morning tour of Angkor Wat and other neighboring temples, we had an authentic Cambodian lunch at a restaurant suggested by our tour guide. the place was clean and simple. too simple... no airconditioning. But they accept dollars and gave me crisp dollar bills as change for my hundred dollar bill. Our food bill cost $38 which we split among the five of us.
