Cambodian or Chinese?

When we took a lunch break from Angkor Wat sightseeing, our guide took us to a local restaurant that was a little further away from the main tourist drag, although it was still a tourist restaurant.  We were surprised by the selection on the menu.  There were all kinds of stir fries that reminded me of Chinese food and we were wondering if it was to cater to the extensive number of Chinese tourists in the area.  We learned afterwards that the owners are Chinese, in fact, a lot of businesses in Cambodia have Chinese owners.

We had a kale stir fry - again a surprise to find kale here although it doesn't taste anything like the kale we had at home.  The stuffed melon is very clearly Chinese - we still remember these from when we were kids.

Kale chicken stir fry - delicious "kale"!

Of course  it's Chinese!
