Next time you are in Cambodia, don't forget to try palm wine.
I have been to Cambodia for 2-3 times now and every time I visit Cambodia, I never forget to buy palm wine produced by Confirel.
The first time I visited Cambodia, I was afraid to taste any of the local food, especially on anything that I never had before. But my second time, I was braver and started tasting something different, such as Prohok, sour mango pickle with salt and chili or sour mango with fish sauce .... yum 😊
After I visited the Night market, I have introduced to the palm wine, and palm sugar. The first wine I tasted was Pineapple palm wine, which contained only 8% of alcohol. The wine has a little sweetness from Pinepple. It's different from Grapewine in a good way. It's light and fresh, fit well for the lady or whoever does not alcoholic drink.
Another one I tasted was, Jaya, which they called Palm Whisky. Jaya has a great taste for a 40% alcoholic drink. I enjoyed it alot.
Next time you visit Cambodia, don't forget to switch your drinking grape wine habit and try palm wine instead. I guarantee you will like it.
You can find palm wine at any supermarket especially in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, at restaurant, mini mart, etc.

Reply to this Last week we had a BBQ and the locals introduced us to the palmwine. They told us it was fresh from the palm tree, if i understood correctly it is made from the pollenating part (penis) of the tree. They make a little cut, much like how they do it with rubbertrees, and catch the juice in a bucket.
Now the thing i found hard to believe is that they told me they didn't mix in any alcohol, but when the evening progressed we were definetly feeling tipsy.
When you're here you should give it a try it has really a distinguished taste!
