Hidden Phnom Penh: Food Tour by Tuk Tuk
Full description
This is a 4-hour experience from Phnom Penh, built around Botumvatey Pagoda, Sangkat Phsar Kandal Ti Muoy and Russian Market. It is run by Urban Forage Food and Art Tours, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Khmer food is milder than Thai and sourer than Vietnamese, built on prahok fermented fish paste and on kroeung, a lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and kaffir-lime paste pounded fresh. The dish everyone is taught is fish amok, a coconut curry steamed in a banana-leaf cup until it sets like a custard; lok lak, pepper-seared beef with a lime-and-pepper dipping sauce, is the other. Kampot pepper, which has a protected origin, turns up in both. Classes usually start in a market, where the guide walks you through the fermented fish, the palm sugar and the river fish before anything is cooked.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, guide, 7 stops, 20 tastings and Unlimited beer. It does not cover Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

We had a fantastic food tour with our guide Jackson and the wonderful driver. Every stop was a different experience and by the time the tour was over, we had a great overview of Cambodian cuisine. Jackson is very knowledgeable about a lot of subjects, so we felt like we got to know the culture and city too. The organization of the tour was impeccable and made it easy for us to have a fun, no-stress evening. Highly recommended!
