5.00Our 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.
Well worth the time and money

5.00Sinuon 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

5.00Very 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!!
Had a nice experience today
