Khmer Cooking Class at a Local's Home

This is my first time in Cambodia, and I didn't expect that besides Angkor Wat, there would be such a fun activity like a cooking class! 😍 The store arranges for a tuk-tuk to pick us up from the hotel, and we visit the market together to learn about the local ingredients, and then we go to the store to visit their vegetable garden. Thank you, Kong, for your detailed explanation, humor, and friendliness! 👍 I learned a lot while chatting with him while strolling through the market. Next is the Khmer cooking session, where each person can choose to make four dishes, divided into appetizers, main courses, vegetarian dishes, and desserts. Sorya carefully noted everyone's dishes and patiently taught us each dish, what ingredients to use, how much seasoning to add, and how long to cook. Finally, with everyone's cooperation, we completed a rich table of dishes together! 🥳 So delicious, so fun, so fulfilling, and so satisfying! The staff's English is excellent, communication is stress-free, and they can also say some Chinese words, which is really sincere! 🤩 I really strongly recommend friends who come to Siem Reap to experience the Khmer cooking course if they have the opportunity. It's so interesting, you can get close to the local people's lives, and it's very meaningful! 😭

I had such a wonderful time at the Khmer Cooking Class with Kong! He was incredibly funny, attentive, and made the whole experience so enjoyable from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, was patient with everyone, and taught us some amazing Khmer dishes that actually tasted incredible! Kong’s personality really made the class special. It felt less like a cooking lesson and more like spending a fun afternoon with a friend who happens to be an amazing teacher. I learned a lot about Khmer food and culture, and of course, I left very full and very happy! Highly recommend this cooking class, especially if you get Kong as your instructor. Such a fun and memorable experience in Siem Reap!

We had the best experience cooking with Kong and his team. They were so warm and the class was easy to follow. We went to a local market and Kong took us for a tour around his garden and introduced the ingredients we used for the cooking. All in all, a highly recommended activity to do in Siem Reap and the best is, you get to eat after!

We booked quite last minute and managed to get a slot. Sorya was our teacher and we had the privilege to choosing our menu (4 dishes). She is knowledgeable and helpful. The instructions were clear and it was a great experience! we took teh 1230pm slot hence the market session was after the meal - not all stalls were set up.

I had a very great experience with this cooking class, our teacher Sorya was very knowledgeable of all the dishes we were cooking. All the foods were delicously made, I liked the curry so much and the banana dessert. A must try, and I 100% recommend this to everyone.❤️

Mr. King Kong is AMAZING!!! So through and we had so much fun cooking!! there were just the two of us, and we spent so much time cooking and talking to the team. Kong brought us around and showed us the local market, the garden they had that holds the spices and all! Just WOW... I had an amazing time with Kong, it's one of the best cooking classes I've been to~~

This was an amazing adventure. my husband who doesn't cook got to experience Khmer cooking. I would recommend this to anyone travertine here in Cambodia. Kong our tour guide was very funny and entertaining and our master chef Sivoon made it look so easy. Thank you for this experience.

Grandma's Kitchen in Cambodia offers a similar experience: visit a local market, then explore the kitchen's garden to learn about vegetables, and finally cook. Each person prepares four dishes, and it's very filling. The small class size ensures everyone receives thorough guidance from the instructor. If you're looking for activities beyond visiting temples in Cambodia, this is an excellent choice!

Amazing experience with the great Kong! We were a group of 5 who all chose our dishes to cook and stepped through each of the 5 dishes we each made (and later ate)! We started with a tour around the local market where many of our ingredients were sort from and upon return to the kitchen space we had a tour of the garden before choosing our dishes. Under the guidance of Chou we cooked and Choy was the assistant in the kitchen area making sure we had a clean space and everything we needed. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

It is a wonderful experience joining this tour. Whether you like cooking or not, it is a definitely worth participating. You will be introduced to sights at local markets. How the people make a living here. You also experience first hand the common ingredients used in their cooking. The cooking style. Best of all for health conscious, you control the amount of salt sugar you out in yiur own meal. Spevial mention to King Kong the host here. His English is excellent and very chatty. He anticipates all your questions and answers them perfectly. He is just everything that you would look for if you are finding a host to intro anf share experiences in Siem Reap. The cooking place is spotlessly clean. Very conducive place to learn cooking. They also plant and show and tell the many ingredients used in their cooking. What a wondrous experience!... Overall a 10/10 experience. Thank you!
