BBC's top chef Rick Stein was at frizz restaurant on the first leg of his tour for a new television series on South East Asian cuisines. The film crew spend about three hours with our chef Heng (nicknamed Lucky), who not only works for frizz restaurant, but also for the Cambodia Cooking Class.
We were very proud the production team had chosen frizz restaurant as the location to film genuine, traditional Cambodian cuisine. Rick and Lucky had a wonderful time together and happily chatted away on Khmer cooking, Heng's life and passion for food, and Phnom Penh.
Our chef Heng prepared Samlor Kor Ko, a traditional Khmer soup with lots of vegetables and fruits, like pumpkin, papaya, eggplant, jackfruit, snake beans and pea eggplants.
The distinct flavour comes from four herbs called m'rum, m'reah, angkeadei and kantrup. Rick Stein was especially thrilled about the beautiful flavour of kantrup.
The film crew was delighted with Heng's passion and enthusiasm, so they decided to take him as a guide and translator around Toul Tom Poung (Russian Market) the following day.
Rick Stein owns four restaurants, a delicatessen, a patisserie, a seafood cookery school and thirty-nine hotel bedrooms in the small fishing port of Padstow on the north coast of Cornwall.
He is currently working on his 2009 tv-show on South East Asian cuisine.
After visiting a few countries, Rick Stein said this: "The food out there is sensational, but it's hard work and very hot."
"Cambodia is the most interesting so far. They don't see chillis as ingredients but as a side dish you eat whole during the meal."
