When you think of breakfast, porridge might conjure images of something simple, perhaps even plain. But at The Amara, we see oat porridge differently. It's not just a healthy start to the day; it's become our creative canvas, a humble ingredient through which we express our passion and reflect our deep love for Cambodia – one of the driving forces behind everything we do.

The Enduring Goodness of Oats

Before we dive into the artistry, let's appreciate the foundation. Oat porridge is a powerhouse of nutrition, making it the perfect base for a wholesome breakfast. Oats are renowned for their heart-healthy benefits, largely thanks to beta-glucan, a type of soluble fibre shown to help lower cholesterol levels. This same fibre also promotes healthy digestion and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, preventing those mid-morning energy slumps. Plus, the complex carbohydrates in oats provide sustained energy release, fueling your body and mind effectively throughout the morning. It's simple, natural goodness.

A Tribute to Local Flavours

For us, porridge is where health meets creativity and local love. Our porridge creations are designed as a tribute to the incredible fruits and ingredients Cambodia has to offer. We play with:

  • Vibrant Colours: Think deep purples from dragon fruit, sunny yellows from mango, and lush greens from pandan.
  • Exciting Textures: From the crunch of toasted coconut flakes or local nuts to the smoothness of house-made fruit compotes.
  • Intriguing Tastes: We create combinations where sweet, tangy, and sometimes even subtly spiced flavours seem to challenge each other, vying playfully for your affection. Each bowl is a reflection of the season and the beautiful produce available right here, near Siem Reap.

Deliciously Healthy, Accessibly Priced

Just like with our coffee and plant-based milks, we believe that a healthy, delicious start to the day shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we've intentionally set a fair price for our porridge creations, often below the standard you might find elsewhere in the city. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a breakfast that's both incredibly satisfying and genuinely good for you. It’s part of our commitment to making mindful choices accessible.

Taste the Creativity Our porridge is more than breakfast; it's an experience – a healthy, flavourful, and colourful expression of The Amara's spirit and Cambodia's bounty. We invite you to explore our current creations and find your favourite.
