You step out of a tuk‑tuk into the early Siem Reap market where chilies flash like small flags and stacks of banana leaves fan the stalls. The guide nudges you toward a pile of fresh galangal while vendors call prices in rapid Khmer; the city smells of citrus, fish sauce and hot oil. Within an hour you'll have chosen ingredients and returned to a compact kitchen where a Khmer chef turns those market finds into Fish Amok, a crisp spring roll starter and a palm‑sugar coconut dessert.
