Phnom-enon Food!

Food has always been an important aspect of Cambodian culture. The complex layers of flavors and unique ingredients make the dishes a real treat for the palate - especially when paired with a nice bowl of Jasmine rice. So it was without a doubt that our wedding would be focused on the menu for the ceremony and reception. We decided to serve the truly authentic and include some of our favorite dishes. The list below are the contenders we are strongly considering for the ceremony menu

Ceremony Buffet brunch

1. Cambodian Beef Salad in tangy lime dressing (plear)
2. Cambodian Chicken and Shrimp Salad (Nyoum)
3. Papaya Salad (Cambodian-style)
4. Marinated lemon grass beef kabobs
5. Lobster ginger stir fry
6. Cambodian egg rolls also known as Lot
7. Spicy chicken wings (Aaron's recipe)
8. Jasmine rice
9. Banana tapioca pudding
10. Coconut custard
11. mango with sticky rice

The reception dinner typically includes Chinese dishes (paying homage to our Chinese roots). Traditionally, 7-8 course meal is served family style. We are going for a tasting next month to finalize the menu and other important details. The food won't be cooked on site since our venue does not have a kitchen. The restaurant has assured me the food will be served steaming hot.
