CAMBODIA
​Cambodia is a vibrant country known for its ancient temples, friendly people and rich cultural history. The Khmer cuisine features distinct, fresh flavours and popular dishes include amok (coconut fish curry) and lok lak (stir-fried beef).
PHNOM PENH
Wild
Wild is a funky restaurant where they only do spring rolls with a variety of different fillings. Pretty much all the spring rolls are GF and they have a handy allergen sheet which tells you which ones are GF or not. They also have a sister restaurant in Siem Reap which we went to later on.
Super Duper supermarket
Ignore the name... this was an incredible supermarket with every gluten free product you could ask for. Cereals, bread, pasta, biscuits, cakes, cereal bars and more! They had these gluten free badges next to anything GF so it was so easy to spot. Everything was in English too, it wasn't the cheapest of supermarkets as everything was imported. If you were staying in an airbnb and wanted to cook one night, this would be the place to go. Otherwise, great for stocking up on snacks!
Our favourite Aussie cereal bars!
SIEM REAP
Khmer Cooking Class at a Locals Home
Another cooking class definitely worth a mention. This cooking class felt more authentic than the Thai one we did in Chiang Mai. They weren't as equipped to cater for gluten free, but I was able to eat the dishes and just omitted certain ingredients. Worth taking GF soy sauce (I forgot mine!) We actually ended up having a private class as we were the only ones who booked that session and the host Kong was so friendly and informative. The class started with a walk through a local market which was amazing.
New Leaf Eatery
This restaurant also acts as a social enterprise, giving back to the local community. A lovely menu, with 'GF' markings and heaps of tasty GF options - both western and Khmer food. We went twice - once for dinner and once for brunch!
Below is the GF western breakfast and fish amok curry.
Crep'Italy
A great Italian restaurant with a wide array of options, Khmer and Western included. Gluten free pasta, pizza and pancakes (buckwheat) were available and the food was delicious. Slightly more expensive than other local places. We had a risotto nero and carbonara, as you can see I was quite chuffed.
Angkor Tacos
A little hidden hole in the wall restaurant in Siem Reap. Not glamorous at all, but the owner uses potato starch and potato flours and understood my GF requests. The burritos were GF and were incredible, we got corn chips, nachos and a burrito to share. Dirt cheap too!
Street Three Eatery
A brunch restaurant that had a variety of sandwiches and baguettes, Khmer food also and a fair few GF options too. I went for a tofu curry, which was nice even though it was a massive portion!
