Cambodian Rice Porridge with Chicken



Cambodian rice porridge, borbor (បបរ), is a traditional and comforting dish that’s popular across Cambodia. It’s similar to congee in other Asian cuisines although I've found that most versions I've had in Cambodia have been more like a soup that a porridge. You can have the porridge for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even as a remedy for when someone is feeling unwell. The porridge is usually served with a range of garnishes and condiments such as cilantro, lime, chili, and fried garlic.

Here's a video from Meas Family Homestay in Takeo. One of the highlights when staying at Meas Family Homestay is the family style dinner, when everybody gathers at the common tables and enjoy the meal together. In the video, Linda has made Cambodian rice porridge with chicken for dinner. The chicken came straight from their own farm, and Linda mentions she had to call The Chicken Killer–a lady from the village they rely on when it’s time to slaughter a chicken:)

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Welcome to my Cambodia blog. I’ve been to Cambodia many times over the years, and it’s a country I keep coming back to. Not just because of the incredible food and fascinating places to visit, but also because I’ve met some truly special people who, over the years, have become close friends. On my Cambodia blog, I’m sharing my favorite restaurants, cafés, and local food experiences, along with the places and moments that have stayed with me long after each trip. You’ll find posts from Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and other parts of Cambodia, including Takeo, where I’ve spent a lot of time and experienced a side of the country that most visitors never get to see. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Cambodia or you already know the country well, I hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration, along with practical tips to help you plan your own visit.

Hi, I'm Sanne. Welcome to Mitzie Mee, my food and travel blog, with a special love for New York City. Food has always been at the heart of the way I travel. I love discovering local restaurants, neighborhood cafes, street food stalls, and recipes. On Mitzie Mee, I share the places I love, along with travel guides, recipes, and tips to help you make the most of your own adventures. Before becoming a full-time blogger, I spent years working in the travel industry. I started as a tour rep in Greece and Spain, worked eight years as cabin crew, earned my commercial pilot license, and flew as an airline pilot out of Denmark and Sweden. These days, I travel the world with my fiancé Steve, always looking for memorable food experiences and places worth sharing. Everything you see on Mitzie Mee is based on my own travels, and I hope it inspires your next trip, your next meal, or both.
