How are your classes going?

Did you take the Beginners Khmer Class at the International Student Center? Not all local people speak English. I ordered chicken with fried rice at a restaurant near the Royal Palace, but a server brought me sukiyaki. I ordered, pointing out the picture on the menu, though. I thought the way I ordered was wrong, so I gave up and ate it. Although it was delicious, it cost 30 dollars, even though chicken with fried rice was 5 dollars.

1. Here is an alternative expression you can use. ''At a nearby restaurant by the Royal Palace, I ordered chicken with fried rice, but I was served sukiyaki by the waiter instead''
I did take the Beginners Khmer Class at the International Student Center. I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. That must have been frustrating and disappointing. Did you try to complain or ask for a refund? How did you like the sukiyaki, though? Was it authentic or different from the Japanese version?

The server looked like a teenage girl, not yet twenty. If I complained, the owner would scold her because sukiyaki uses expensive ingredients. I thought it was destiny to have sukiyaki that day and said nothing. The sukiyaki was different from the Japanese version and had no raw egg. Luckily, I don't rather like raw eggs. Next, I'd like to eat a traditional Khmer dish called amok there.

1. This way, the sentence sounds much more natural and understandable.
2. Your sentence may be unnecessarily wordy. This word is redundant here, and this is a shorter way of saying it.
 I hope you will have a better experience next time you order chicken with fried rice. I'm curious about the traditional Khmer dish called amok. What is it made of? How does it taste? Do you have a picture of it?

Thank you. I don't have any pictures of it, but we can see many pictures online. The appearance of amok is similar to curry, but it's not spicy; it's mild. It is usually served in a banana leaf cup or coconut shell. There are several types of amok, such as chicken or fish amok. Fish amok represents Cambodian cuisine. "Amok" means steaming some food in a banana leaf in Khmer. After marinating river fish in a paste called kroeung and coconut cream, it is wrapped up in banana leaves and steamed. Fantastic! It doesn't smell fishy at all.
