Cambodian Chinese or Sino-Khmer cuisine is a food tradition developed by the Cambodian Chineses living in Cambodia that's distinct from both Khmer and Chinese cuisines.[1] The foodways of the Chinese Cambodians have not only been influenced by the Khmer but also by the Vietnamese and Chinese Vietnamese foodways.[2]
The Chinese began migrating to Khmer Empire in the 13th century, bringing their cuisine with them, from which the Khmer cuisine adopted noodles, soy sauce, different vegetables, stir frying, steaming and the custom of eating soup for breakfast.[3] Until the mid-20th century, the Chinese that mostly migrated to Cambodia were Teochews and to a lesser extent also Hainans, Hakkas, and Cantonese.[4] Nowadays, the Teochew kway teow has become a popular dish in Cambodia, where it is eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner or as a snack and often flavoured with lime, chili, fish sauce, and palm sugar.[5] Other Cambodian Chinese dishes include babor,[6] bai cha,[7] chai yor,[8] and num kroch.[9]

(...) Thus the foodways of the localized Chinese in Cambodia are influenced not only by the Khmer foodways but also by the Vietnamese and Chinese Vietnamese foodways."

- ^ Chee-Beng Tan 2011, p. 177 "The distribution of Chinese cuisines in Southeast Asia is underscored by the routes of Chinese (im)migration, which were organized along regional, lineage, or dialect lines until the mid-twentieth century. For instance, Teochews tended to migrate to Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia; Hokkiens tended to migrate to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines. Hainanese, Hakka, and Cantonese scattered throughout Southeast Asia."

Kway teow has become a favourite dish, which people in Cambodia eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner or as a snack. (...) In Cambodia kway teow often is flavoured with lime, chili, fermented fish sauce, and palm sugar."
