About Kampot Kitchen

Kampot Kitchen brings homestyle Cambodian comfort to High Street with crisp baguettes, rich stews, and heartfelt warmth. Diners head here for freshly stuffed num pang—layered with caramelised tofu, lemongrass chicken, or tender pork belly and crunchy apple slaw—served on bread that breaks with a clean, light crackle. Slow-cooked beef kor ko delivers deep, pepper-laced warmth for cooler days, alongside grilled skewers with house dipping sauce. Order a glass of strong Cambodian iced coffee capped with salted cream or condensed milk.

  • Cambodian num pang: Crusty, light baguettes loaded with lemongrass chicken, caramelised tofu, or pork belly and pickled veg.
  • Hearty beef kor ko: Deeply braised beef stew simmered with authentic regional spices and served piping hot.
  • Specialty iced coffee: Strong brews layered with condensed milk or finished with a thick cap of salted cream.
