Yes that is how we standard greet each other - I wouldn't say it's "slang" but actually just a polite greeting. Because everything revolves around food here...:)

You're right, slang may not have been the best choice of words, rather informal I guess. The standard way to ask "how are you?" here is "you happy healthy?"
In Thai we say "Sabai Dee Mai" - and I guess the approximate translation would be "are you feeling well"? I think its very similar to Khymer which is not surprising as we are neighbors.
