The Cambodian capital city Phnom Penh is set to host one of its largest annual events, Water Festival. Boat rowing contest will attract some ten thousand Cambodians from across the country to enjoy the festivity. Phnom Penh, as usual, will be crowded by throng of people. Meanwhile, it’s also the time for the city residents to take their holiday break, and make trip away or out of town. In Khmer language, it’s known as Bon Om Touk.
One of the most traditional parts of this national event/holiday is the country’s most consumed meal, namely rice. Made of special rice, Ambok is mixed with banana and coconut. Firstly, the rice is fried in the husk and then pounded with a giant pestle.
