In love with the fresh, vibrant flavours of Cambodian cuisine, but not sure what drink to pair with it? We have the ultimate answer: more of those incredible flavours, of course!

Some people get themselves in a muddle trying to work out which wines to drink with Cambodian food. And it’s true that there are plenty of wines that pair beautifully with the fresh, herby and vibrant flavours of Cambodian Cuisine. But one of the best ways to really get the best out of your meal is to pair it up with something that’s been specifically created to reflect and complement those flavours, such as one of our Malis Signature Cocktails.

One of those, the Malis Sweet & Sour combines the flavours of one of our favourite dishes, Sweet & Sour Soup, with the distinctive kick of that classic cocktail, the Mojito. Made with tamarind paste, palm sugar, sweet basil, kaffir lime and lemongrass, this delicious and refreshing rum cocktail is the perfect partner for enjoying with almost anything on our menu, but we think it’s especially good with a Green Mango and Smoked Fish Salad or the Kep Flower Crab Fried Rice.

We created these cocktails to show the range and versatility of Cambodian flavours and to represent them in a fresh light. Of course, you can also simply enjoy them on their own, and there are few better spots for doing that than in the elegant grandeur of Malis in Siem Reap’s Chhatra Lounge.

Drop by Malis Siem Reap at 6pm any evening for our Happy Hour, and enjoy our buy-one-get-one free. It’s a great opportunity to explore some of the other unique cocktails we’ve concocted to reflect and perfect Cambodian Cuisine’s bounty of flavour, or simply to savour on their own.

Chhoul-Mouy!

It’s Not You, It’s Merguez…

Sausages are the best, and you’ll find the best of the best in the North African Merguez, now a French staple for very good reason: they’re utterly delicious. If there’s anything more comforting than a hamburger, then it has to be sausages. And if you’re French, then it has to be sausages with couscous, and that means one very important thing: Merguez Sausages. For those that don’t yet know what these batons of delight are, Merguez Sausages are sausages made from ground beef and/or lamb generously with harissa and other spices such as cumin, fennel, sumac and garlic. They are…

Long Live Chardonnay

One of our favourite wines suffers, we think, from being misunderstood… A few years ago, it became fashionable to say, “Oh, no, not me, I don’t drink Chardonnay, anything but that!”. The acronym ABC, ‘Anything But Chardonnay’ was bandied about as though it were somehow clever, and an awful lot of people deprived themselves of the pleasures of one of the most popular and versatile wines in the world. But Chardonnay is one of the wine world’s greats not just because it’s easy for producers to work with but because, properly handled, it does produce a superlative wine. But the…

An Introduction to Italian Wine, Part I

Italy has been producing wine for thousands of years. And you’ll be able to taste the fruit of all that knowledge and experience soon at Siena Italian Steakhouse. With Siena Italian Steakhouse opening its doors soon at the stupendous Flatiron Building in northern Phnom Penh, we thought it would be a good idea to offer a brief series introducing the delights of Italian wines, from the history to understanding the designations on the labels, and some of the more widely used grapes. Wine is so fundamental to Italy’s history that, in every direction, the borders of the Roman Empire stopped…

May: a Merry Month of Celebrations in Cambodia

As things, hopefully, start to cool down a little bit, preparations are underway for the new season to come, and for Buddha’s Birthday… On 5th May this month we celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha with Visak Bochea Day, making it the most important and sacred commemoration in contemporary Buddhist calendars. The date in Cambodia is set to accord with the 15th day of the waxing (growing) moon of the month of Magha, which is the 11th month of the Hindu calendar, corresponding to January/February in the Gregorian calendar. However, different countries use different formulas to calculate…

Chopsticks: the Heart of Refined Dining

For a beautifully set table, it’s almost impossible to beat the elegance and simplicity of a pair of chopsticks. Their long, slender arms that, well used, form an extension of our own, give them a refinement the clunkier knife and fork can only dream of. And they have a significantly longer history too. It is thought the chopsticks were first used in China as long as 5,000 years ago, though they were then mainly used as cooking utensils. Their adoption as formal eating instruments came at around 200CE, during the Han Dynasty, when a population explosion created a fuel scarcity…

A Celebration of Camembert

“For the most part, I try to be healthy and eat good things, but if you give me a baguette and some Camembert, I’m gonna eat it.” Gwyneth Paltrow. While every day is Cheese Day as far as we’re concerned, it is nonetheless International Cheese Day this March 27, so we thought it would be a great time to talk about one of France’s most iconic, and, of course, most delicious cheeses, the mighty Camembert. It’s also one of France’s most easily recognised cheeses. With its distinctive talcum-white rind shot through with tawny hints of the deliciousness beneath. The squat…
