Experience Details

"Cooking with us" is a unique experience. First, because you will travel towards the hinterlands of Phnom Penh and will experience local life. Second, you will get acquainted with our local produce and taste. Third, you get guided by myself (Sophors) and I grew up in the area you will be visiting. I can tell you all the great things about this place. Last, the place you will be visiting is calm and relaxed. It is the perfect place to cook food and enjoy together. I really recommend staying one night.


Important to note is that we can adapt our foods to Vegetarian or Vegan. Or in case of allergies, we can also adapt to this. Please let us know.
