Street Food, Khmer Barbecue and Nightlife by Tuk-Tuk in Siem Reap

A 1-day trip from Siem Reap that visits Old Market, Local food and night market Siem Reap, ចែសា ម្ហូបកម្ម៉ង់ទល់ភ្លឺ and Yi Nget BBQ Beef Sticks. There are 8 stops altogether, so it fills the day rather than leaving long gaps between two or three highlights. The price covers Local guide, Transportation by tuk tuk and Khmer street food tasting. It does not cover personal expenses, additional drinks or dishes not included and personal purchases in bars or at markets, 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. 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 steps with party size rather than multiplying: 1 traveller is $233, 5 is $467 and 8 is $610. You are quoted the total for your party, not a per-head rate. About Cambodia Travel and Tours runs it. We book with them directly, so the guide who meets you works for the operator rather than for a reseller.
