5.00My son (12) and I did this class with our teacher Sinuon, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Great mix of watching & listening, doing every chopping and frying ourselves, and get help, when stuck or for the final pounding (« more angry!😄 »). Ingredients were excellent, Sinuon the best and kindest teacher, and our results surpised us. We look forward to bringing this cooking experience home to our family! Highly recommend this course!
Excellent teacher and délicious food

4.00This was a lovely experience and we made an amazing feast of traditional Cambodian food. The teacher Sinoun was so lovely and good fun to spend time with. During the walk around the local market Sinoun talked us through some foods we hadn't seen before. After that it was back to the restaurant to get cooking ourselves. The foods we cooked were so fresh and tasted delicious. The only disappointment is that we have not received the recipes so far as promised but hopefully they will follow. Such a lovely experience.
A must do for all khmer food enthusiasts

5.00Great experience. Good value for money. The whole team was very attentive, especially our cooking guide Sopheap. We booked as a couple and basically had a private cooking because the class was just us. But paper tiger still delivered and all was very enjoyable.

Amazing Cambodian cooking class with Sinuon

5.00I was visiting Siem Reap with my best friend and decided to dedicate 2-3 hours of our hot morning to cook together. Paper Tiger is well organized and Sinuon was always smiling and took precious time to explain us everything and cook with us (2 dishes per person: mango salad, fresh spring rolls, chicken Amok and chicken curry). Then we ate everything and we had the possibility of taking with us the leftovers. A very wonderful value for money experience (approx 20$ per person) to pass a chill and lovely morning in Siem Reap!
A taste of Cambodia

5.00We really wanted to explore Cambodian cuisine and have a cooking class, which we decided to book with this structure. The experience was amazing, our teacher Sinuon guided us through the market and then to each step of preparation. We decided to cook different dishes to explore more tastes, and during our schedule (10 am) it was only me and my friend for the class! I would really recommend to invest the 3hrs needed for this experience if you stop by Siem Reap.
Like cooking with a friend!

5.00From the moment we arrived we were treated like long-lost friends over for dinner. Sohpeap was an amazing teacher - balancing when to demonstrate, when to let us go for it, and when to do some things behind the scenes so we were on track! The food was so flavoursome and the whole experience was a delight. From the market tour, to the preparation, to the cooking, to the eating, we could not have asked for anything more! If you’re in Siem Reap, do this class!
