News & Events

Cambodians celebrate their independence every year with various parades, events, and fireworks displays all across the nation. The biggest celebrations take place in the capital city of Phnom Penh, but they are not at all limited to that vicinity.

Don't forget to get a good taste of Khmer cuisine while visiting Cambodia at Memoire Siem Reap Hotel. The "Cambodian menu" has its own core components, but it partakes of influences from French, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese cooking. Along the small, southern coastal region, Japanese and European influences are found and seafood is very common. Rice, fish sauce, chili peppers, coconut, lemon grass, and lime juice are commonly used ingredients in Khmer foods. A typical meal might consist of soup and salad, fish as the main dish, rice, and some form of vegetable. For dessert, you might get local fruits or "sticky rice."
