any unique products in Cambo?
Are there any unique good products in cambo?
This would include preserved food items, crafts, carvings, etc
Good things that cannot be acquired anywhere else. So if you have them or give them as gifts, you know they must have come from cambo.
My question derives from my search for a gift to a Thai friend. But I realized anything I could get in Cambo, I could get in LOS for probably better quality and more selection and of course a better guarantee.

Khmer silk, rice wine, kramas, loads of Khmer products in supermarkets, but if quality is your main criterion, you're in the wrong country

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

What is a krama? Is that something you use on your face after drinking the bad quality rice wine?electric hedgehog wrote:Khmer silk, rice wine, kramas, loads of Khmer products in supermarkets, but if quality is your main criterion, you're in the wrong country

Kurata Pepper http://www.kuratapepper.com/en_products.html
or if that's too expensive at $100/kilo, pepper from Kampot is a good bet http://www.kampotpepper.biz/

Not really. Anything produced in Cambodia is produced somewhere else at a higher standard. Pepper might be an exception but, really, who cares all that much about the quality of their pepper? And giving pepper as a gift is kind of weird.

Nobody asked about what you could buy in Thailand. As for the OP, you can buy traditional instruments here that aren't produced anywhere else.
I'm guessing they live in Thailand. Who the hell else calls the place "LOS" anymore?Baconroll wrote:

Agree with most of this, with the exception of pepper and sapphires. Tasting the pepper here was like the first time I tried Belgian ale; fizzy lager just wasn't going to cut it anymore.MONEYBACKGUARANTEE wrote:Timeslot Enigmatic wrote:Are there any unique good products in cambo?

Cambodian pepper especially when fresh is a revelation - it's better than next door in Vietnam from what Ive tasted. I get the feeling pepper is a very finicky plant and vulnerable to climatic conditions which substantially affect the taste. Im sure the Chinese and the French knew this when they put in the early Kampot plantations in.
Nuoc mam at Phu Quoc is prized as some of the best in the world. I'm sure the Khmers could emulate that down there too, if they could stop eating the mash and instead consume the distillate like normal people.
