The vibrant culinary scene of Gold Coast, Queensland, includes an array of international dining experiences, among them the taste of Cambodia offered by Bunnath Kitchen. Located in Robina, this establishment serves up traditional Khmer dishes prepared from locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. What sets Bunnath Kitchen apart is its focus on 'kreoung', the distinctive foundation flavoring in Cambodian cuisine created from pounded spices and herbs. With various versions like yellow, red, and green, each kreoung brings a unique flair to their signature blends, adding depth and character to every dish served.
Visitors seeking a more intimate connection with Cambodian culture can find it here; co-owner Bernie (Bunnath), originally from Cambodia himself, welcomes guests together with his wife Ivy. They aim to provide a genuine gastronomical journey through their carefully crafted menu.
