Few Cambodians understand the concept of strict vegetarianism and many will say something is vegetarian to please the customer when in fact it is not. If you are not a strict vegetarian and can deal with fish sauces and the like, you should have few problems ordering meals, and those who eat fish can sample Khmer cooking at its best. In the major tourist centres, many of the international restaurants feature vegetarian meals, although these are not budget options. Cheaper vegetarian meals are usually available at guesthouses. In Khmer and Chinese restaurants, stir-fried vegetable dishes are readily available, as are vegetarian fried rice dishes, but it is unlikely these Vegetarian' dishes have been cooked in separate woks from other fish- and meat-based dishes. Indian res¬taurants in the popular tourist centres can cook up genuine vegetarian food, as they usually understand the vegetarian principle better than the prahoc-loving Khmers.
