  • We had an amazing time with Sopheap!

    Sopheap is an incredible cook and teacher, showing us her passion and skills while giving us the freedom to create the taste that we desired. While she showed us techniques and guided us through the recipes (which were provided to us afterwards) she ensured that we were still creators by allowing us to add extra spice, flavour and ingredients if we wanted to. But we didn't even need to, the quality of her cooking knocked us off our feet, offering us not only incredible food, but an amazing understanding and experience of cultural food in Cambodia! Next time we are in Siem Reap, we are absolutely trying the other dishes!

    Our group of 9 hikers tested the Cambodian cooking class at Paper Tiger under Channy’s catchy and didactic leadership with her good communicative humor. And then came the tasting of our 3 dishes made, it was a very nice taste discovery.

    Sinuon was our teacher and she was great! Each person can choose their own appetizer and main course. I made Green Mango Salad and Fish Amok. I chopped most of the veggies and spices/seasoning. We made Amok paste. Everything was delish. We had banana flambé with passion fruit and coconut cream for dessert. Too much food for one person to eat, so come hungry! Directions weren’t precise. Google Maps took us to Amok restaurant. Class is at Paper Tiger a couple of restaurant down Pub Street.

  • Paper Tiger happy Australians

    Very educational, sinuon told a lot during cooking but also with the round on the market. They compare products with products from the Netherlands so you can fake it at home. The recipes she sends too!!
