Khmer Food

Why can't I order out for some good kuy thiew in New York City, supposed food capital of the world? My answer (and some of my nostalgia) at Salon.

"Phung Hung is part of the Southeast Asian enclave that has sprung up in the Fordham and Bedford Park neighborhoods. Across the street, Dave adds, Phnom Penh-Nha Trang Market offers a decent selection of Thai desserts, but no cooked foods. Like Battambang Market on Valentine Avenue, it is Cambodian-owned but offers a mix of Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Chinese products.

Phung Hung Market [Bronx]
2614 Jerome Avenue (at E. 193rd Street), Bronx
718-584-5228

Phnom Penh-Nha Trang Market [Bronx]
2639 Jerome Avenue (at E. 193rd Street), Bronx
718-741-9100

Battambang Market [Bronx]
2654 Valentine Avenue (near E. Kingsbridge Road), Bronx

There used to be a Cambodian restaurant in Brooklyn but they seem to have closed :(

In response to our successful Stay Another Day Cambodia booklet (www.stay-another-day.com) we are doing a follow on called 'Cambodia on a Plate'. I'm really interested to get in contact with the woman, Bophal Kattya, whom you mention in your article. We would love to get in touch with her to add much richness to the booklet and to help revive Cambodian cuisine.

My email is sbauld@ifc.org

thanks in advance
