What is Sangkhya Pong Moan?
A variation of the classic pumpkin custard, Sangkhya Pong Moan steams the egg custard inside a young coconut shell rather than a pumpkin. The coconut imparts its own subtle sweetness and aroma to the custard. Made from eggs, coconut cream, palm sugar, and pandan, it sets into a silky smooth texture. The coconut shell serves as both vessel and flavor enhancer.
- Price range: $1–3
- Spice level: No spice
- Best cities to try it: Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kampot
- The coconut shell presentation makes this extra special. Scrape the coconut flesh to eat with the custard.
