5.00We had a great time exploring a local market and cooking Cambodian cuisine. Sinuon was an amazing instructor, she was very patient and encouraging which made the experience so much better. The mango salad, beef lok lak, and desert turned out so delicious! Would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Siem Reap

5.00I really enjoyed my morning choosing what I wanted to cook, going to the market and then chopping all the fresh ingredients, cooking them and eating them. Everything was so delicious and it all looked so pretty. I learnt a lot at the market and chopping all the different herbs and vegetables and then presenting and decorating the food. This was fun.
Great cooking class!

5.00A great cooking class where Sinuon first showed us around the local market and recommended snacks for us to try and then we went on to the restaurant to get cooking. We could choose from 2 different starters and 3 different main courses, all of them were possible as vegetarian too. A dessert was also included. Sinuon was a great chef and teacher who told us a lot about cooking and also her personal life, spoke great English! There was A LOT of food, so don’t eat right before. All in all a great experience! Only downside would be that there was only me and my friend that booked it, if your solo travelling and looking to meet people this isn’t the best option, however it is instead a great opportunity to speak to locals!
A fun day cooking with Paper Tiger

5.00I had an absolute blast at this cooking class. Ms Sinuon is an absolute gem, warm, patient, and incredibly attentive. She guided me through every step with genuine care. I got to choose the dish I wanted to prepare, and she had everything set up perfectly, making the most of our time together. She explained each ingredient and each method in a clear and simple way, and she trusted me to take the lead once she saw that I knew my way around a kitchen, which I really appreciated. More than anything, she made the whole experience fun. We laughed a lot, cooked a wonderful meal, and I left feeling both satisfied and inspired. It is a fantastic activity and completely worth the price. I highly recommend it.
Great experience a a must do

5.00Channy gave us a grwat inside into the Cambodian kitchen and how to cook it! The good we cooked with the help of Channy was really tasteful. We had a lot of fun and highly recommend this experience. The only thing we think could have been better, cook the main dishes one by one and not all at once, because by the time we ate the main dishes were cold.
Fabulous morning of fun with friends

5.00We had an amazing time at the cookery class at paper Tiger. Channy was a lovely teacher and showed us everything we needed to know. We had a great time in the market and then cooking and also enjoying our food for our lunch. She also packed up what we hadn’t eaten to share with friends at home. I highly recommend this if you have a few hours to spare in Siem reap. It is a perfect location too in the heart of Pub Street.
Great cooking experience
