Guys, prahok is not a delicacy! It's a widely used ingredient in Khmer savory dishes. It's a salting agent that gives food an umami flavor, without making the dishes taste so one dimensional. Not meant to be eaten raw or straight. Although there are some who do use it raw (but it's never eaten just by itself because it's, after all, an ingredient). But I have to admit that I've never seen a maggot-infested prahok before. That's something I would never eat and is one reason why prahok should always be cooked.
Ok good cuz I had the feeling that this episode was the equivalent of a child eating raw cookie dough and complaining that it made them sick. It's fish paste, like spam in a can. Yeah you can eat it raw, but you should really cook it and have it with something else.
I’m Cambodian and even I have my limits too when it comes to Prahok or anything else like it. Since we’re in the states, we prepare our Prahok in a safer manner where you won’t end up in the ER trying it for the first time. Ours tastes clean and even the odor isn’t as bad or strong. It’s all in how you store the fish, process and prepare it. And no, ours isn’t covered in “maggots”. In fact when I ate this in Cambodia, never did I once find maggots in my Prahok. So this is more of a specific Prahok that caters to a specific group of Khmers who are into that kind of thing. But even my folks deep in rural Cambodia won’t eat Prahok with maggots in it.
@@saviyou That would make sense. Hence why I said it caters to a specific group of Khmers who are into it. If it was mentioned, I must have missed it as I often comment while watching at the same time. Thanks for clarifying. 🙏
Hiii I’m Cambodian, I love prahok I love eating the different types of it. It’s pungent but savory and mostly spicy, I didn’t know there was an extreme version of it in Cambodia. My family when I visited Cambodia prepares safe versions of it and safely stores it in containers, in a fridge. For me any maggots in my food is definitely not eaten! Ty for showing the different side of Cambodia I haven’t seen.
I have traveled a lot in my 44 years and have eaten maggot infested meals, you don’t know until it’s too late of course. Ecuador and Senegal… 😂 the time in Africa I was absolutely famished and way out in a remote village and after finding out didn’t eat until getting back to Dakar over a day later 💀.. never got sick.
So the maggots are a regional thing and not standard for the dish? My gag reflex would prevent me from eating anything with them crawling around in it.

As someone who lived in LA, I have upmost respect for the cops in that area who show up and do their best everyday despite the BS from all directions. Hope you enjoy a much deserved retirement brother!
So prahok is more like fish sauce than being a protein. And nobody would think about drinking fish sauce raw, but as a seasoning it can be great. But the part with the maggots is just wild.
Actually yea. It is more of a condiment than a main sauce of protein. Since it is very salty, it is good in other dishes. Basically almost every Cambodian foods have prahok in them as a condiment.
We are moving to Cambodia later this year! I can't wait to try all these different foods in the province! The giant snails dipped in red chili/fish sauce are one of my favorites so far!
@@maggieidk3875 Yeah! Our family are Christian missionaries and my wife is a Nurse Pracitioner. We want to love and care physically and spiritually for the people in the provinces of Cambodia who are in need!
@@Phenurbbro don't be racist and generalize everyone as the same just because everyone looks the same or from the same country.. like, it's silly to think that Italians love to eat rotten cheese just because some of their community eats maggoty cheese, or that Swedes love to eat that rotten-stinky fish just because it's also part of their traditional delicacy..
This one ranks up high as one of my favorite videos of you. Savi is a great choice to be your co host. So many things are going on. You can take each scene and make a whole video on its own. This channel is raising the standards of food travel videos on youtube. Nobody touches your level of quality
Prahok, Is use mostly as a flavor enhancer, not as the soul main ingredient of any food for many Khmer dishes. You just need a bit of it to go along way due to its strong smell and salty. It’s like fish sauce, but different type of umami smell and taste. Prahok dipping sauce after you mixed it with a bunch of herbs and spices, it go so well with grill steak.
Like ปลาร้า (Pra-ra) in Northeast Thailand? It's not a main ingredient but usually use as a salty sauce kinda thing. I don't know much about Prahok grade. But in case of ปลาร้า I think nowadays it got produced much cleaner overall. Maggoted one is kinda old-fashion and unsanitary.
Honestly at that point don’t take a shower in days, get all sweaty, then take a bath and boil the bath water down to a concentrate. Call that a flavor enhancer too. A little bit goes a long way
Im not sure if a people which made one of the greatest empire in Southeast Asia can be considered having "unfortunate" history. Except if you're referring to their post-independence history.
@@SetuwoKecik Cambodia was in a dark age for over 500 years since 1500s after the fall of Angkor. Approximately 80% of its terrritories was lost to Thailand, Vietnam and Laos. Its land area was ~1,000,000 square meters in 1290, now only 181k square meters. It hit its lowest point in the 1970s, now finally it starts rising again.
All these videos are so amazing, and absolutely phenomenal. It’s just so amusing to me, that a lot of the people have a look on their faces like “this European Man is funny but talks very much”! 😂🤣 the difference in demeanor and culture is so wonderful and fascinating.
Maggots are not the part of the Prahok ingredient. We stamp the fish to paste and we keep it somewhere safe from maggots, the longer the better. We know if the Prahok process really have good taste it would have a very very strong smell abit of juicy come from the fish and the fly really trying to get in it all the time, We have to protect it from the fly. Prahok is not good for eating raw but it's the best ingredient we use to cook as a paste. Prahok can smell by the next two houses when open the lid.

jude here in the philippines there is something called ETAG but the only difference is that the meat is dried in the sun for several months, sometimes there are also worms or maggots
The maggot screaming as it's running away had me laughing so hard! 16:52 I'm such a 40 year old child. 😆And I've traveled abroad so much at this point that it doesn't gross me out at all.
I feel like I trust you on this , I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone in my family that would be down for this type of food, even when I visit the rural parts!
“ if the maggots come from an unsanitary place “ they shook their heads like “ nah this lady knows what’s up her rotten fish is natural w the bugs “ 🤣 this is so crazy to me
I used to have rat snakes as pets. They never bit me, then again I raised them from being worm sized to four/five feet rat snakes. They are so tame and like gold fish. You can breed so many colors and patterns.
"Wow it really has a rancid taste to it. Yeah I taste bones. It tastes like the guys of a fish. That have been rotten. That are very salty." Yeah I'm not sold on trying it lol
I’ve had fresh bohok at my Cambodian friend’s house here in the states. His mom made it fresh for us to try, we ate it with lettuce wraps. I thought it was pretty good.
I love how at 13:36 suddenly that women appears like a ghost in the back. Watching and judging them while they are trying out her food, after they were so disgusted by it before 😂

Maggots are basically House fly larva so the source matters and rotten fish is definitely not a good source. It contains tons of bacteria.

The maggot screaming as it's running away had me laughing so hard! 16:52 I'm such a 40 year old child. 😆And I've traveled abroad so much at this point that it doesn't gross me out at all.
So much respect to you. No wonder its the best food review because its not only the food you give importance but more so the culture.
Sonny, you never disappoint! Thanks for this one
“ that was sidewalk made this is homemade” had me dying
Just mind-blowing! Absolutely appreciate your coverage, Sonny!
Even native Khmer people would think twice about putting the maggot prahok anywhere near their mouths
Yeah bruh that’s wilding frfr
I love your Femboy profile picture my days! 🙂

I feel like I trust you on this , I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone in my family that would be down for this type of food, even when I visit the rural parts!
“ if the maggots come from an unsanitary place “ they shook their heads like “ nah this lady knows what’s up her rotten fish is natural w the bugs “ 🤣 this is so crazy to me
"The fish flavor is very strong"
"VERY STRONG" 😂😂😂
Casu Martzu is an Italian cheese that contains maggots too. Sardinian cheese but found generally in all of southern Italy.
I thought it was Peruvian for some reason. Too much bizarre foods.
And the Italian government has outlawed the cheese.
yeah cause ingesting them causes Myiasis
You can still easily find Casu Martzu in southern Italy … the only band they can really enforce is exports
I have a home in southern Italy .I'll have to ask the cheese man if they have it when they come by.@@patrickdelrue546
Cambodian people live in countryside are friendly n honestly 🙏🇰🇭❤️
This video is very cool thank you guys
7:29 reaction of host 😂😂😂
It's hard to watch bro 😂
So glad you’ve been going to Cambodia lot recently it’s nice to be recognized when your always over shadowed by Thai and Vietnam
I used to have rat snakes as pets. They never bit me, then again I raised them from being worm sized to four/five feet rat snakes. They are so tame and like gold fish. You can breed so many colors and patterns.
@@saviyou Things happen and you took it like a champ!
@@saviyou my dude you smelled like food of course they wanted a taste
i think he misidentified them as rat snakes, they're some kind of homalopsid like Subsessor
Maybe they knew you were not there to hurt them. The snake in the video probably can sense they are looking at them as a pet or food 😟
@@lemasque2112 good point!
bro the way they just walked past them lil kids that were balancing pink and green chairs on there heads was hilarious
Best ever review food. Thank for shared Cambodia
We love our food culture and every country have they own local food please respect us,
Thank you so much Sunny for bring Cambodia 🇰🇭 to the world 🌍
I think people there are immune in Food poisoning 🤣
12:11 “…I can kinda see why the maggots are into it..” 😂😂😂
"Wow it really has a rancid taste to it. Yeah I taste bones. It tastes like the guys of a fish. That have been rotten. That are very salty."
Yeah I'm not sold on trying it lol
Great episode😂 ts looks fun asf
My dad have buckets of fermented fish that are over 20 years old. It's like gold to SE Asians...and no maggots.
20 years? That sounds like it could get you drunk!😲
Whaaat😮
Feeling grossed out within 10 seconds 😂
Love this episode. Makes me hungry all the time im watching
Bro what?!
Great thank you for the video mister😀
I commend Sunny for always trying things that may make you uncomfortable but is a traditional dish in cultures❤❤
Broo 😂😂😂 who’s biting who!! 😅😂 I’m dead litteraly
0:47 i thought my phone was having a catastrophic malfunction at the sound of the cameraman lol
Your doctor deserves a raise
I keep thinking this channel will run out of exotic foods but it just keeps going! Love it
I’ve had fresh bohok at my Cambodian friend’s house here in the states. His mom made it fresh for us to try, we ate it with lettuce wraps. I thought it was pretty good.
Dude his eyes almost popped out when holding the snake... 💀🤣
Dude eating that raw is wild... Dayum😭😭
@@saviyou That snake wasn't messing 😂
"this is how she knows that this is the good stuff"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well respected, this guy puts his life on the line to create a great video!
Savi’s baby pic omg 😭😭 adorable
I love how at 13:36 suddenly that women appears like a ghost in the back. Watching and judging them while they are trying out her food, after they were so disgusted by it before 😂
exactly lol
I noticed that too 😂
@@HhannahBarryy That old girl, she's quietly laughing with her contemporaries who survived the KR, that she got a bawling loud, entitled Barang, to eat the one batch of Prahok she made that season which went bad & got flyblown! We DON'T have maggots in our Prahok, fool just pranked himself while the old school looked on, laughed & said to each other "Remember 'oun, they loose war long year before- Veet'nahm. Still clazy, still dumb, still think mah'nee fix all thing!!" That is not how we live or eat in Kampuchea!
15:15 My guy said “chicken bullyon” loll
Your hair looks so good dude, you must be thrilled with the result
“That’s the one that bite me “ 😂
Good morning😊 enjoy the weekend and happiest of Fridays, everyone.
❤ from 🇨🇦
Good Morning and happy Friday.
lmao Sonny “I don’t like cucumbers” proceeds to eat a maggot
The lady pranked him with that maggot infested prahok, she was going to throw it away 😂
Your videos are solid, keep up the good work
Ohhh that first raw lake fish dish looked incredible!
It did, I wanted so badly to try some!
Pleah trey
If you accidentally ingest it... 2 seconds later, "Cheers". 😂
bro is like I don't like cucumbers after eating maggots 😂
That cambodian ceviche looks sooo good lol
The look on Savi’s face when he got bit by that fresh water snake😳
