Amok is a kind of curry - I suspect it has coconut milk in it. You can have fish or chicken variations, often served on a banana leaf. I also love the fresh spring rolls (like the Vietnamese ones)

Try to find a place with Khmer customers.
Restaurants with a mix of Western and Khmer food are in general disappointing.
My favourate two places:
- Kampot: a small no name restaurant at the north-eastern corner of the old bridge
- PP: a restaurant (didn't record the name) north of the Phnom Phen Hotel shortly before the large hospital.
