Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor's 1932 Unveils New Khmer Tasting Menus

 The acclaimed Khmer fine-dining restaurant 1932 at Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in Siem Reap has unveiled exclusive new tasting menus as it continues to elevate and redefine haute gastronomy in Cambodia.





The hotel’s Khmer tasting menus were launched last year as a way to introduce diners to the distinctive flavours of the Southeast Asian cuisine. The popularity of the dining experience prompted 1932 to update the menus with several exciting new dishes available this month.

Some highlights from the new menu include Bangkorng Takeo made with Takeo freshwater lobster, Khmer thermidor sauce, morning glory and oyster sauce; Num Krouk, a Khmer rice cake with sweet and sour sauce, and lime; and Sach Ko Lok Lak, a Tajima striploin with Kampot pepper, crudite, turmeric and garlic fried rice.


“The dishes on the new Khmer tasting menu at 1932 feature the freshest, locally grown, seasonal ingredients, ensuring an outstanding representation of Cambodian flavours at their very finest,” said Executive Sous Chef Dorn Doeurt, an expert in authentic Royal Khmer cuisine and modern Khmer gastronomy, who designed the menus.


The tasting menus are categorized by decades/periods, including the 1930s (“The Reign of King Sisowath Norodom” priced at $90++), 1950s (“The Grand Renaissance” priced at $60++), 1960s (“The Golden Age” priced at $70++) and 1990s (“The Raffles Grand Legacy” priced at $100++). All are offered with an optional wine pairing and dishes can also be ordered à la carte.


“The new tasting menus at 1932 showcase the exquisite range and remarkable tastes of Khmer cuisine in a fine-dining experience that’s second to none as an introduction to Cambodia’s top culinary offerings,” said Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor General Manager Joseph Colina.


Earlier this year, World’s 50 Best spotlighted 1932 in its Discovery list, saying the restaurant’s cuisine “delights the palate as the chefs navigate decades of Khmer culinary heritage.”


Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor was named one of the world’s “500 Best Hotels” by the industry-leading Travel + Leisure magazine in April for a third straight year. The historic hotel was also honored as one of Cambodia’s finest—with special recognition for its swimming pool and spa—in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific in June.


The 92-year-old luxury hotel is on the doorstep of ancient Khmer archeological sites in Cambodia and is considered a national treasure. Originally opened in 1932, the hotel was built as a rest stop for archeologists and adventurers seeking to explore the ancient kingdom of Angkor Wat, which is today one of the most popular UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Welcomes New Artist in Residence

  Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has welcomed a new artist in residence ahead of the launch of a new exhibition of artworks, as the iconic 93-year-old luxury hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia continues to spotlight talented Khmer creatives. Teang Borin, popularly known as ‘DinArt’, is an audacious, self-taught artist whose work captures and exalts the essence of Cambodia’s rich religious and societal heritage. His latest exhibition, inspired by the majesty of Khmer royalty and the distinguished colour palette of the Raffles Royal Doorman, features vivid, brilliant hues often set against a stark backdrop. “The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer royalty, specifically focussing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons. Historically, the colour of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance,” said curator Nat Di Maggio of the local Tribe Art Gallery.
