At Meatophum restaurant in Phnom Penh, this vibrant raw beef salad (Khmer: ភ្លាសាច់គោ phlea sach ko) captures the city’s love for freshness and texture. Tender slices of beef mingle with crunchy cabbage, herbs, and chilies, topped with roasted peanuts for an aromatic finish. It is street-market energy on a plate, a Khmer flavor story that feels both homely and adventurous.
