after visiting Ek Phnom Temple, you can also check out quickly the location of the old tradition where our Cambodian people make The so-called ProHok (Fermented Fish) which is used a lot in our khmer (Cambodian Cooking), if we could explain and compare this Prohok to something else so you can understand how important it is to Cambodian, it is like Dutch people liking their cheese. Please note, it will be a bit fishy smell while walking around.
