Koh Kong Sauce to eat with oyster.
Too spicy
I am not a fan of oyster, but most men loves oyster including my hubby. You can find fresh oyster in most of the beer garden in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and other provinces. The place we like to go for fresh oyster are Sovann Beer Garden and SONYVID Beer Garden in Phnom Penh. You can ask for smaller or bigger or the biggest, they have all types of oysters.

Spicy Grill Crab and non Spicy Crab

SONYVID is the name of a Beer Garden Restaurant serving only fresh seafood and beers. Today I've tried Grill crab rubbed with spicy sauce and the other one just cook fresh without any spicy sauce. It takes quite a while to be able to eat this dish, so I would recommend the earliest possible when you enter into the restaurant  - but it worth the wait.

Grill Crab with spicy sauce - plenty of chilli from Sihanoukville too
The fresh crab - when you open you can see and feel the meat of the crab and the taste is so nice when you have them with those sauce.
Different cooking style of Shrimp from Kampong Som - Sihanoukville Cambodia

You can find loads of fresh shrimp in Cambodia not only in Sihanoukville and Kampot Province but those good quality shrimp also delivered to Phnom Penh daily. You can find various size of shrimp ranging from small size to bigger size and larger size. Fresh shrimp from Cambodia is so sweet when u lightly steam with coconut and out from the po- when you eat - It tastes so yummy - I would recommend for everyone.


Steam Shrimp with vegetable
Here is another way of cooking shrimp. You can grill the shrimp on charcoal. It tastes great simply with fish sauce and a little bit of lemon juice.
Grill shrimp - you can buy from Central Market in Cambodia
My favorite style of cooking shrimp is deep fried with minced garlic. The garlic should be lightly fry and you can eat together with the shrimp. It tastes great. Once you have tried, you asked for more later :)
