A Renowned Chef Honoured at Penh House: Sakal Phoeung Sublimates KIRUM Prahok Powder

French-Khmer chef Sakal Phoeung visited Penh House Hotel on 11 April as a special guest of Dr Hay Ly Eang, Founder and Chairman of the PPM-Confirel Group. The visit centered on culinary innovation and contemporary Khmer cuisine.

Chef Sakal collaborated with Penh House's resident chef Vanna to create two dishes featuring KIRUM Prahok Powder: salmon sashimi with a Prahok-tamarind sauce, finished with olive oil and Cambodian herbs, and grilled jalapeños with a sauce combining Prahok Powder Strong Flavour, KIRUM palm vinegar and Kampot pepper.

The culinary demonstration was documented by ThmeyThmey and Cambodianess media, who interviewed Chef Sakal about his restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City and his vision for contemporary Khmer gastronomy.

Following the demonstration, attendees enjoyed Pizza Prahok recipes and a "Prahok Gourmand" dinner featuring five prahok-based creations, complemented by a Kemito cocktail and a fruit salad with Jaya Spirit.
