Cambodia - Food III - Karo restaurant







One of our favorite places we ate while in Cambodia was Karo restaurant, near the Old Market in downtown Siem Reap.  A few dishes that stood out there - prawn cakes, green mango salad, and hot sour soup.  But the real barn-burner was their beef Lok Lak.  The slices of beef were cooked just right, and the dipping sauce - oh, what sauce!  How do I love thee, sauce?  Let me count the ways.

We asked how the sauce was made - there was black pepper, white pepper, ginger, lime.  We may try to reproduce it ourselves, but we're not sure it was as simple as it was made out to be.  Truly fabulous!
