Morokot never planned his career but since he was a bright student, he competed and studied in the reputed engineering college – Institute of Technology of Cambodia. “After completion, I went to Malaysia to get a degree in Management. There I shared a room with an Indian. Both of us started to cook. While he made amazing curries, I too cooked traditional Cambodian food. From there, I realised my true calling is cooking,” says he.

At present, Morokot works in the Ministry of Mining but he is also pursuing a course in culinary. ” I will soon open a restaurant Morokot Green in Kâmpóng Cham. I’ll serve both traditional and fast food and of course, my innovations,” he concludes.
