My first taste of Battambang
It happens on Broadway Street, Oakland. Dishes with names so hard to pronounce, ingredients and tastes so similar to Vietnamese food. I learn of the second largest city of Cambodia, smaller only than Phnom Penh. I share my first simple Cambodian dinner, complete with a salad, a meat, and a dessert.
Here’s a little language snippet: to Vietnamese people, salad is called “gỏi” |ghoy| in the South and “nộm” |nom| in the North. To my surprise, “nhorm” is its romanized name in Cambodia. Listening to the other customers at Battambang, Mudpie comments that Khmer and Vietnamese sound similar, to which I first protest, but perhaps it holds a grain of truth after all.
Here we have nhorm lahong. If there’s any salad that never goes wrong, it must be this green papaya salad of Southeast Asia. Delicate, raw, and soaking fruit shreds retain nothing but a tightening chew, the sweet lime dressing sends a quiet smell of fish extract. Battambang’s batch is a drop more watery than Dara’s som tum/tam mak hoong, on the plus side there’s plenty of sauce to make rice go quickly down the pipe.
To make rice go even quicker comes sach chrouk aing. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle a full Khmer sentence of words like these, but now that I’ve known pork is sach chrouk and grilled is aing, I can survive in Cambodia ;-). Long version: sliced pork marinated with lemongrass, charbroiled, served with sweet lime nuoc mam and boiled cabbage on the side. Short version: godly.
Like at most family operated Asian restaurants, the check will be brought out before you can order dessert, but we don’t let that stop us from ending our dinner on a sweet note. The dessert menu stands next to the salt, pepper, sweeteners, and a slender vase of real orchids.
I ask our hostess to recommend either amuk knor or chake ktiss, and with no delay she says “Amuk knor for sure”. I then ask if it’s whole jackfruit or just some kind of paste or flavoring, and I must sound pretty stupid, the whole jackfruit is huge, at least as big as a 30lb turkey, but she (and you?) knows what I mean. Amuk knor is a kind of coconut milk custard with jackfruit slices, all steamed in a banana leaf cup. It breathes tropical and countryside, warm and mild. We scrape every corner of the leaf.
(I can only guess that chake ktiss is similar to chè chuối chưng).

4Cách bảo quản chè Thái Nguyên được lâuTrà xanh rất dễ hút ẩm và ám mùi từ môi trường xung quanh nên cần bảo quản trong hộp kín, tránh ánh nắng trực tiếp và nơi có độ ẩm cao. Nên để trà trong túi hoặc hộp kín khí, đặt ở nơi khô ráo thoáng mát, tránh xa các loại thực phẩm có mùi mạnh như cà phê hay gia vị vì trà rất dễ hấp thụ mùi lạ. Nếu bảo quản đúng cách, trà xanh Thái Nguyên có thể giữ được hương vị tốt trong khoảng 6 tháng đến 1 năm sau khi mở gói.
5Một ấm trà có thể pha được bao nhiêu lần nước? Trà xanh Thái Nguyên chất lượng tốt thường có thể pha được từ 3-5 lần nước, những lần đầu vị đậm nhất và nhạt dần ở các lần sau.
6Trà Thái Nguyên và dịp Festival Trà Quốc tế 2026Nếu quan tâm đến trà xanh Thái Nguyên, đây là thời điểm đáng chú ý: từ ngày 30/10 đến 07/11/2026, tỉnh Thái Nguyên tổ chức Festival Trà Quốc tế với chủ đề “Thái Nguyên – Đệ nhất danh trà”, quy tụ các hoạt động trải nghiệm tại chính các vùng chè Tân Cương, Đồng Hỷ, La Bằng, Vô Tranh, Đồng Phúc. Đây là dịp các hợp tác xã, làng nghề chè trực tiếp giới thiệu sản phẩm, giúp người tiêu dùng dễ dàng so sánh và xác minh nguồn gốc hơn — cũng là thời điểm thị trường trà Thái Nguyên sôi động và được quan tâm nhiều nhất trong năm.
