Yummy Amok and fun conversations!

I had the best time at Sreng’s cooking class! Amok is my favorite Cambodian dish and it was amazing to see all the spices and ingredients coming together to create the flavor. The whole process was so fun and the Amok we made was delicious. Also, Sreng is the sweetest and super interesting to talk to! Would like to go again some time

Great food with a very warm host. We learned a lot, laughed and had a great time at Sreng.

Sreng is a very warm host. His home is an oasis, in the middle of the big city. You just have to experience it yourself. We learned a lot about Cambodian food and enjoyed delicious food. It was a wonderful evening. An absolute highlight on our trip.

Must do in Phnom Penh!

We made the most delicious amok along with some palm jaggery sweets. Sreng and the team were so accomodating to my vegetarian diet and provided alternatives to maintain my learning experience. They were also so sweet in giving me a knife sharpner set that I've been looking forever! Everyone was so kind, and I made a friend and learned a lot about Cambodian culinary history.

Calm Cooking Class amidst the Chaos of Cambodia

After almost two weeks in Cambodia, I wasn't really sure about the local cuisine as there was such a mix of everything and knew I had to do something about it. Coming to Phnom Penh Spice cooking class allowed me to better understand the different influences that colored the region's culture and food. We got to experience making a spice mix and cooking amok first hand. It was an informative experience, with Sreng and his staff instructing us, helping us, and engaging in a lot of conversation ab...read more
