Beyond the ancient splendour of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap is a paradise for food lovers. Thriving night markets sit along the riverbanks and bustling streets, offering a diverse range of street eats. Discover the very best, from regional delicacies to exotic finds.

Lort Cha

A flavourful dish and staple in Khmer cuisine, Lort Cha consists of thick, short rice noodles stir-fried with your choice of protein, vegetables, and spices.

Sample a warm bowl of this iconic dish anywhere, from the best restaurants in Siem Reap or night markets like the Angkor Night Market, located only a short 5-minute drive from FCC Angkor by Avani.

Nom Ka Chai

These crispy chive cakes are a popular snack in Cambodia, and Siem Reap’s night markets are no exception. They are often served with a sweet chilli sauce or a dipping sauce made with tamarind.

Kralan

Kralan, or bamboo sticky rice, is a unique dish made by steaming sticky rice inside bamboo tubes. The rice absorbs the smoky flavour of the bamboo, resulting in a deliciously fragrant treat.

Deep-Fried Bread and Shrimp

As with most classic night market experiences, enjoy a variety of deep-fried Cambodian snacks, such as fried bread and shrimp. Fresh shrimp coated generously in a batter is fried atop the slices of bread, till crispy and golden-brown.

Cambodian Barbecue

Indulge in a variety of grilled meats and seafood roasted over open flames, from classic skewers of chicken and pork to grilled fish, squid and even frogs.

Sweet Treats

Night markets also offer plenty of refreshing, sweet delights, from decadent coconut ice cream served in the fruit’s shell, to a rolled version of the treat.
